The podcast features a lively and humorous discussion blending personal anecdotes, cultural observations, and deep dives into various topics. Hosts explore misunderstandings like confusing "El Nino" with a Christmas tradition, clarifying it as a real climate event that occurs irregularly. They share stories of natural disasters, particularly wildfires in LA, which caused significant fear and prompted evacuation, illustrating how real-world events can feel overwhelming. The conversation also highlights personal gut instincts in financial decisions, contrasting them with rational thinking. Cultural differences in holidays are explored, especially in how family traditions like garlic and cabbage soup serve as lasting rituals. A standout moment involves a movie pitch that sold for millions with just three sentences, revealing how compelling ideas can be monetized. The hosts also discuss the future of aging, debating whether medical advances could extend lifespans dramatically, and reflect on what life might look like at older ages—emphasizing creativity, community, and joy over material success. Ultimately, the podcast celebrates human connection, resilience, and the unpredictable nature of both life and perception, ending with a warm reflection on finding meaning in everyday experiences.
(upbeat music) - What's up guys welcome back to Views. It's David. - You swallowed welcome. - Uh huh, so you swallowed welcome. - I know. - To try it again. - Well no, I wanted to be different so people know that they clicked into a different episode. - Oh they'll know. - This is the episode I couldn't pronounce anything. Oh my God Margaret, I'm so sorry about that breakup. We're here for you. - Yes Margaret, David told me about the breakup and we hope you're feeling better. - Okay, Margaret love you. So we're just gonna keep doing that. I think we got one guy that was sick. - Actually? - There was only one person at DM me. It was like I woke up with a sore throat and then I listened to the pop. - Really, what if there are any Nazis out there hiding in Argentina? Would you like to say hello to them? - Hello is a little positive. (laughing) - What I talked about not until the last time. - I will fucking find you. - Yeah there you go. - I will find you in Argentina. I will hunt you again. - And there's a movie. - Yeah we talked about Nazis in the last pod. This is a different episode. One thing I want to get out of the way is what is going on with El Nino? - Oh no I know. - What is that? - The governor called the state of emergency. - Yeah, what the fuck is El Nino? 'Cause I thought it was, I thought it was a version of Christmas. That was like a Spanish holiday. - I don't know why you thought that. (laughing) - El Nino does that, does it not mean like nephew? That's Mininho. - Mininho is like little boy. - Okay so I thought it was like like in Hungarian culture we have like December 5th is like when Santa Claus comes. - Uh huh. - So I thought it was the same thing and everyone was like El Nino's gonna be big this year. (laughing) - I'm shocked. - I thought it was a presence. - I thought like something was, I think it was just like better than ever before. - Yeah are you going to the Celsius El Nino bash? - It's gonna be insane. - Okay so but El Nino turns out, it's a big storm that's gonna hit us. - Yeah. - So it's the opposite. - But it's not just us. - Today I'm going to Boston to see my mom and. - Oh it's the whole U.S. - Yeah and so Naveen's looking, it was really funny. It was like a colloquial joke. 'Cause Naveen's reading and she's like, okay says it's gonna be pretty bad on Saturday and we fly back, says it's gonna be a nor Easter. She's like, is that bad? And I'm like, oh my god, like a nor Easter is the worst. Like that's what we call it in Boston. When you can't fucking go anywhere. - Oh that's actually real. - But she doesn't know that term. - I thought she was trying to say Northeastern wind. - No a norista is like considered the worst. - Really? - In Boston yeah. - Wait do we get El Nino every year? - So it actually does have a relation to Christmas. - Oh it's around the same time. - So typically yeah, so it was in Spanish. The fisherman off the coast of Peru noticed the warm water would usually appear around Christmas. So it would affect like the fishing cycles whatever, so they referenced it as El Nino. - I don't see. I'm telling you dude, just fucking listen to me. - That's crazy, your gut instinct man, it just never misses. - I have an incredible gut. I just realized that recently that I have probably one of the best guts in the game. Would you agree with that? - What's up thing? - I can do a good gut. - What's up thing you had a gut on you were right about? - Well, it doesn't have to be like financial, but like. - No no, it's actually a lot of- - A lot of it is financial. - Okay. - Like things like the Tesla stock. - Yes. - Yeah. - Incredible gut. - Incredible. - And no balls to stay in. - That's my problem, is my brain interrupts. - Yeah. - So my brain comes in and starts being rational. And then, and then fear starts. And then I think that's where I lose my gut. But every time I've had a gut instinct, like again, the car that I'm trying to sell, the Vahala. My gut is saying do not sell this car. - Okay. - This is gonna be a big player in a couple of years. But my brain is like, sell the fucking car right now. - Yeah. - You can't hold on to this for that long. - We gotta have the ball, you have to have more balls. - Wait, wait, so is El Nino, is it something that happens every, here's the thing, 'cause I've been seeing El Nino saying this is like a once in a lifetime storm. But like, so many things that have to do with weather patterns, spatial patterns are, they say they're once in a lifetime. Like, how many, once in a lifetime solar eclipses? Have you seen Jay? How many? It's so many. - I've seen a few. - Yeah, it's so many to the point where now when they say there's a solar eclipse or a little eclipse, like we're not gonna get one for another 40 years. I don't even, I don't even, I don't even up the shades. I don't even try to look for my window, 'cause I'm just like, I'm gonna see it in a couple months when they do it again. I don't know why they were things like that. I guess it's just like, astronomers clickbait. - People are just excited. - Yeah, that's exactly it. - Okay, so the media drawing you into their story is, okay, so another thing, another thing that I actually looked up-- - Safety with El Nino. - No, and the same thing with helicopter crashes. - Oh, yeah, tell me. - So I've had this theory that there's actually, that helicopter crashes don't happen as much as people are seeing it, but it just become a topic. - Mm-hmm. - It's a discussion, so now people are reporting on it. So now every time there is a crash, it's heavily reported on. And I think that was, to try not to be true, there's been a lot less helicopter crashes over the last couple of years. - Oh, really? - than ever before. But the news cycle is just now picking it up 'cause it's becoming like a, it's just, it's kind of crazy, like what are like, it's how easy it is, like fear monger and clickbait through like, just like trends. I'm like, what's getting clicks? - Yeah. - I don't think I'll think it was gonna be that bad. - Although winter is a part of the helicopter. (laughing) My house is not good when it rains. - I know. - It's like really bad. - What happens? - Well, I don't know what's going on. There's like no drainage in the backyard. So like, if there is like flooding, like rains. - Yeah. - Then it's gonna be, John's gonna be working over time. - Oh my God. - With the shovel. - At least you're not on a hill. - Or with a straw. - Where you are. - I am on a hill. - Where why are hills worse? - Well, I'm on like a little less of a hill than you, a lot less of a hill than you. - Oh, mudslides. - Yeah. - Yeah, but I'm on bedrock, which is-- - Which is gonna be crazy. - Wow. Yeah, so the new house that we're looking at. - It's gonna be great. - It's gonna be gone. - Yeah. - The one where that we're in escrow on. - Yeah. - I don't think we'll be, luckily we're in escrow. Is any El Nino happening for a long time? - I mean, I don't know actually. - What do you mean it's gonna be gone? - Well, it already has like landslide issues. One of the big issues. - Yeah. - It falls right onto like one of the biggest roads in Los Angeles from that house. - Oh. - Yeah, yeah. But it's something we need to, we need to, we need to, we need to revise and it needs to fix, I guess. - Yeah. - Which the structure guy came and was like, "Yeah, this is what you need to fix." - Also, El Nino does not happen every year. It happens every like two to seven years. - Okay. Well, it's better than the opposite of El Nino, what we got, we got dry Nino. - You can have La Nino. - Yeah, is that what we got last time? Dude, that was the worst. Were we podcasting during the fires? - Yeah. - We were. - Big stuff. - Oh my God. - Yeah. - The amount of fear that gave me. Dude, it was like-- - Yeah, 'cause you were uninsured. 'Cause I remember John thought it was fun. And you were like, "No, it's not fun, John. I'm gonna lose my fucking house." - No, it was the closest to feeling like an adult. - Right. - I've like come and like fear. Like it was like, I was watching the news for like eight hours a day. - Yeah. - Just worried. And like new spots would pop up in L.A. - Yeah. - On hillsides that like fires were starting. 'Cause like, our sins were starting fire. Fire is in my nose. - We saw one from your driveway. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, "Oh, we're fucked. The whole hillside's gonna burn." And I just remember like popping up on the map. Like a new one every, it was like crazy. It was an infection. It was really fucking scary. - I flipped out that one night when those fires were popping up and I drove over to Marnie's call to sack with Davine. And I was like, "We gotta get out." - Oh my god, that's so yo. - She's like, "I'm not going anywhere." - No, when that one popped up. The one by your hillside. And I had to pack my suitcase. Put my kids' shorts towards in there. And I told John just to beat it ahead with the Ferrari. John took the cars out. And you just heard my car screaming down the street. Just getting up. My neighbor was like, "What are you doing?" (all laughing) - My neighbor was literally like, "I'm staying here, dude." You're not worried. (all laughing) - Save yourself. Save yourself, you're not that bad yet. - I've never been that much of a pussy. But it was because it was my house. - I drove to Laguna. - You drove to Laguna? - Yeah. We drove out of it. We were like, "I'm not gonna stay in that house." Something happens overnight. - It was funny 'cause at the same time that that was going on, we were like, "We had to go to Vegas for work or something." And I remember we were at the airport and we were driving to the airport. This shit was on fire everywhere. It was like really fucking weird. - Yeah. - And we were just at the airport, we got to the airport like an hour and a half early, just looking at the news and it was getting worse and worse and I remember we canceled our trip right there 'cause we were like the last thing we could be right now is having a bottle service at fucking Vegas. Well, our town's burning down. It just felt so fucking incredibly wrong. - Oh. - Yeah, no, that was pretty fucking intense. I've never seen anything like it. I've never been part of a natural disaster. That was the closest I think it was. - About Earthquake, should we get Earthquake here? - Yeah, of course. - But not a bad one, right? You weren't here for Northridge. - What's that? - That was like the last big one. - Wait, why I was in I here? Like I was in high school. - Oh, no, no, no, no. I've gotten somewhere like things have fallen off the shelves. - Yeah, I haven't seen much of it. - No, I mean, we're still waiting for the big one, right? The San Andreas fault. - Hmm. - Apparently that's like what a couple hundred years overdue and he's every day now. It's supposed to, any day now, it's supposed to rupture, but who knows when that's gonna happen? Do we ever get like three feet of snow in Chicago? - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - So like you open your garage and it's snow. You ever seen that? - Yeah. - Like all snow, like six feet. - Yeah. - No, well now you're just going up. We never got six feet of snow. - No, but the wind would push it up so it would cover the whole thing. - Oh yeah, yeah. - You'd open the door or whatever and it would just be full. - It's kind of crazy.
- I wonder if I could see the stat of how many Christmases I've had, where it's snowed. - White Christmases? - Yeah, I wonder. I wonder if it's like under three, or if it's like a lot lower than I think. 'Cause I rough, like, you think about Christmas, you think of snow. - It's always very, very low number. - But like the chance of it snowing on Christmas. - I think like global warming has like made it, so it's not as snowing on Christmas anymore. - Really? - Yeah. - Aren't these like last three, four months so interesting? - Why? - Well, it's like, you got Halloween. People are already talking about that. Navine's already planning a costume. - Bro, people have been hitting me up about my Halloween party for two months. - What do they say? - Two months. - Like you're having it, right? - Yeah, they're like trying to make sure that they're like in town. Like it's happening, right? You're having the Halloween party? - Yeah. - And that's never happened in my birthday, which is weird. - But I guess LA for Halloween is like, very, very different. I don't know, are we doing it this year? - Really? - Your party's pretty rare now in LA. - What do you mean rare? - It used to be like, there'd be a lot of parties. I just feel like, now there's not as many. - That's true. I guess I don't really hear about that many either. - People want me to stop sneezing. Nelly sneezes like a fucking giraffe. - Could you make the sneeze softer now? Is it possible? - I don't know. - I don't care, it doesn't bother me. - I don't know why they're so loud. - I've never seen anything like it. It's like a triangle full body reaction. - The worst part about it is that you don't tell anybody. - I don't know they're coming. - Okay, 'cause they're like fucking freaks the living shit, like every time sneeze they go, "Fuck!" I just scream from the other room. - What would you prefer? Just like a tap, tap your foot onto something, like it's coming, so I know. 'Cause like it fucking freaks me out. - Like Northridge, yeah, there's Quake. Knock some things off the shelf. No, but isn't it interesting, like, you know, you get Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then fucking Christmas, it's crazy. I mean, it's like bam, bam, bam. - It's like so stacked, huh? - Yeah, it's like so stacked. - Stacked, yeah. And you think, oh, Halloween, Thanksgiving, that's enough. But then you got Christmas, which is all of December basically, where you're like, I'm going to this party, and then you have Christmas, which is like, you know, obviously you have a lot of parties around Christmas. - Yeah, you have a lot of year-end office things. Like, you might not necessarily go, but like, you know, someone like Jack Reed will be like, yeah, we're having a-- - What's interesting is-- - It's been a little party. - What's interesting is like, come on down. - Now that we're getting older, time moves faster. - Yes. - And like every time I'm at the Christmas dinner at my family's house, it's like, I have the same exact feeling. I'm like, I feel like I was here three days ago, and I know I'm going to be here. Even like, looking into the future, I'm like, I know I'm going to be here sooner than I think. Like, it's just every time I'm there, I'm like, I was here last week for Christmas. Like, it's moving that quickly. - Wow. - I mean, it's like so quick, no? Like, you don't think like when Christmas comes around, you're like, I'm fucking here again. - Um, again. - I don't think so. I don't think so. - Oh, like this, it's like, I don't know. It's not even, to me, it feels like it's like, what Christmas used to be, but now it's like two or three times a year. Like, that's what the rate feels like that it's coming. It just comes away too quickly. - Really? - No. - No, I feel the exact opposite. I'm like so starved to see Boston and eat my sister's cookies and, you know, like, or like spend time. - Oh, I'm not saying I don't like it. I'm just saying it comes really quick, no? - No, I can't even remember last Christmas. - No. - Yeah, I don't remember last Christmas either. - What's the point? - Thanksgiving is tough around here. - Well, I don't do Thanksgiving. - Why not? - What do we do when we do friends giving every year? - Friends giving sucks. - Friends giving is weird. - I cook. - I think it's so weird. - Why? - Because it's just like, everybody brings something, nothing matches. It's so much better to like go to a proper Thanksgiving at someone's house who prepared everything, even if they ordered it in. But it's like, you know, the mashed potatoes go with the turkey, go with the asparagus. Everything is thought out. - I don't think this house is good for friends giving. - I like, I think that's true. - I don't think this house gives friends giving vibes. - I think it's like the actually one thing that this house can't do properly. - You want a dining room. - Yeah, and you want like yellow lighting, you want carpet, you want like a lot warmer than this house is. And you want like a corner movie. - We can do it in my house this year. - Oh. - Did you hear? - When you guys had like, Christmas or Thanksgiving, did your parents ever invite people you didn't want there? And they come over. - Oh my God, my parents are so opposite of that. - Oh, they keep it close. - Oh my God, if I even fucking recommended bringing someone, they'd be like, absolutely not. - Oh really? - No, no, no. It's just us, no one's allowed. - My parents would always invite some stray dog. - Really? - And they'd show up and then, you know. - Like a relative or just like somebody like us. - Someone who needed a place to go. - Well, it's like, there's a reason they weren't invited anywhere else. - Right, right. - That's kind of sweet. - They're very nice, but yeah, I remember that. Or just that act of like someone coming in and like taking their coat and that act of like, you're like, you don't know what to say. - So funny, your Christmas is so, it sounds so American. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's like what I would see in a movie. - Yeah. - But like, just yours is American, right? Yeah, mine's definitely very like European. - Oh yeah. - It's the same shit ever. We have dinner. My parents are gonna hate me for saying all this. They're gonna be like, "Where are you talking shit?" But we have dinner. Then there's these like, you know, like when you get your communion. - Yeah. - It's a little wafer. - The little wavers thing. Wafer's thing. Wavers. - Wavers. (laughing) - You get late night pizza flavored waivers. - I'm going to be like, no, I'm not going to get it in the late night pizza. (laughing) - But like during communion, anyway. So we have that. That's what comes out first. We have to put honey on it. And then there's garlic. No, I'm gonna see garlic and every time-- - I'm gonna see garlic. - She's 'cause you guys have-- - Yeah. - She's literally-- - It's the whole thing. - You eat a clover of garlic. - Sure. - And like without missing a beat, my mom or my dad, it's usually my dad goes, "You know, garlic is healthy for you every fucking year." Every year. And that's why I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day. - Oh my God. - 'Cause it is the exact same thing. - Yeah. - I mean, that makes sense. - And then cabbage soup comes out. I haven't liked cabbage soup for 15 years. But when it comes out, every time my mom goes, but you like cabbage soup, you like it, you like this. And I'm like, I don't, every time. - But you did like it at one point. - I liked it when I was really young and we were like still in Slovakia. - Yeah. - But it's every year, it's the exact same thing. - Oh, fuck. - And then comes the chicken that's now slowly moved into chicken tenders, which I'm really into. - Okay. - There was a year ago my mom didn't make chicken tenders. - Okay. - And she made like flat pieces of chicken, like filets. - Like sliced, yeah. - Like sliced. - Like breaded though. - I was like, what is this? I was like, I was so confused, 'cause we've been doing chicken tenders for like five or six years now. And I was like, what is this? And then my mom seems to forget that we've been doing chicken tenders for the last five to six years. Which is weird. I genuinely think my parents don't remember, but every Christmas is the exact same. Anyway, and then we have the dinner at night, 'cause we celebrate on Christmas Eve, 'cause we're foreign. And then we all go upstairs. All the kids go upstairs into the room. And then my parents set out the gifts, and then they ring a bell. We've lost the bell. So now they just yell. But like, he used to be a bell. Last four years, no bell. And then we come down. - That's Christmas morning. - No. - Oh, you do the present night? - We open presents at night. - Weird. - Every time, 'cause I was super like anti-slavakia when I was a kid. I was like, let's open 'em in the morning. - Yeah. - And then my parents would be like, and every year they'd say the same thing. They'd be like, okay, you can open 'em in the morning. We'll open 'em tonight. And then I'd get fucking really like, I'd get like a serious phone call. 'Cause they're manipulating me. So then I'd be like, if I could piss the opening of that night. But there is something cool about opening like, especially if I got like a PlayStation, which is one year. I got a PlayStation, like there's nothing better than playing throughout the night. - That's what you do on Christmas. Like you play, you just play all day long with your new gifts. - Oh, that sounds fun. - That's kind of interesting. Yeah, I never like-- - Oh, that's the best. Yeah, like in the day way, we're all just like trying on our new clothes. - Oh, when do you guys go to church? - Christmas Eve. - Oh, that's nice. 'Cause I thought some people like open presents and then go to church. That would really throw me off. - My family would do dinner when I was like, in high school we do dinner and we go to midnight mass. We go to church at midnight on Christmas Eve. - What's that like? - I mean, it's like packed. - Yeah, it's kind of cool. That's kind of like a, I feel like if, especially if you're a kid. - Yeah. - If you're gonna go to church, I feel like a lot of kids don't love going to church. - It's kind of late. - It's kind of like-- - So late, I mean yeah, a lot of people fall asleep. But it's a vibe. - Really? - I have a lot of people show up. It took a really weirdly popular thing. - What about texting on Christmas Day? Are you big into that? - You get, like texting-- - Like saying Merry Christmas? - Yeah, like someone like Ferris would be like, "Merry Christmas Ferris?" - Oh. - I actually am pretty big on that. - Yeah. - I don't know. I kind of like Christmas. I don't get it on like Thanksgiving my family and I never celebrated until my parents found out that Thanksgiving was an excuse to get your family together. And they're like, we gotta start, which happened about six years ago. - Yeah. - So we never go to Turkey, we get a chicken. But Thanksgiving I never really get when people are like happy Thanksgiving. - No, you don't like-- - No, not that I don't like it. I just don't like understand it as much as like, Christmas is like the fucking the best holiday of all time, right? Like it's pretty damn good. - It's undoubtedly number one of all holidays. If you were to rank holidays, where would you-- - You say ball holidays? - Ball holidays.
I think we won't buy the Vahal today for me. Yeah, what would you rank? Give me your top three if everybody was rich and there was a commercial on TV. It's Asden Martin's Vahal holidays! (laughing) Slashing prices, 1.1 million. 1.1 million. (laughing) Yeah, where are your favorite holidays? I mean, or even as a kid, go as a kid, 'cause I think obviously Christmas is the best. Hanukkah was not my favorite. That's not fair that you get to celebrate too. Why? You can't celebrate too. You gotta choose one. You get all kinds of stuff that I don't get to do. That's crazy. I mean, you get to have Slovakian cabbage date. Hanukkah's how many days of gifts, 11? Eight. Eight? And then you get a ninth from Christmas? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just get little stuff for Hanukkah. You get like a notebook or whatever. You don't get like all the big stiff came on Christmas. But then you gotta say that prayer. And you know, you got-- So exhausting. Yeah, it's like-- Okay, so you put Hanukkah too? No, thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. That's an America thing. I like Thanksgiving because there's no pressure for presents. Christmas one, Thanksgiving two, and then what's your third? Halloween. Wow. Because we got the big ones coming. We don't do Hanukkah anymore. Mine was Christmas Thanksgiving in 4th of July. That there we go. Mine was-- Never had good 4th of July. Mine was Christmas, July 4th, and then Halloween. July 4th was the most incredible night of my-- July 3rd, specifically ever. Every July 3rd, me, Alex and John, and Mike, would have a sleepover. Oh, fun. Every July 3rd, for about six hours of that, we'd spend it on Omega, trying to talk to girls, or on chat roulette. We'd bounce back and forth. And then when it became midnight, we'd go out with our fireworks, and we'd start lighting them off like in the city. In the city, in the town. Sorry. In the village, yeah. In the village. And I can't explain it because you're the only person out at midnight in Burden Hills. So every car on the road is a cop. And every cop is hunting you because there is nothing to do if you're a cop in Burden Hills. Ever, right? If you seek 13-year-olds out at midnight, this is like you're about to stop like a terrorist attack. That's the level of deaf kindness for a cop. So I remember we went to the skate park, and the cops would come, and we had to lay down on the grass and high shrubbery avoiding the cops. The cops had their lights on, search lights on. Every July 3rd was like, it was our time to be vigilantes. It was fucking incredible. There's not a better holiday for me than that. Did you see that movie that one night only movie with Calam Turner? Did you see a trailer for it? I saw the trailer, yeah. Okay, what do you think it's about? The trailer was so misleading. I thought it was like they'd go on a date or something, and then they have one night to be together. Can you be more specific? Just about what you think it is? They fuck. What's the holiday? What's going on? Do you have no idea? You didn't get a holiday vibe permit? Like it's like New Year's. Oh, like Christmas. Okay, yeah, okay. Fair, I got New Year's vibe. Anyway, have you seen the trailer for one night only? No, just the billboard, what's it about? Well, that's what I thought it was, too. But it's more like, it's more different, I guess. The whole thing. Wow, okay. Interesting, good job. That's how I podcast. It's not that it's different. Okay, next. No, the whole premise is this world they live in, you're not a lot of premarital sex, except for one night out of the year. Oh. Okay, so everybody is-- Everybody's looking to fuck. Oh, interesting. No idea. I thought it was like this beautiful thing where it was New Year's, and they're like gonna meet, and like something was happening. And no, like the first half of the movie is like everybody in their 20s is just running around looking for people to fuck, and they're super horny around the city. It's like hunger games, meets, it's horny games. It's like kind of crazy. For the whole first half of the movie? Well, the whole movie's about it. And then when it, when it, when 7 a.m. comes around, you can't fuck anymore. So it ends with them having like 10 more minutes left, and then they like-- How did they stop people from having sex? They have-- everyone has like-- Everyone has to go-- Lock on their cock. No, everyone has like a thing on there. It's like a tattoo that lights up and reports to the government. Oh wow. If they have premarital sex, they like lights up green. Once you're married, it's fine. But like that was not in the trailer at all. I mean, yeah, yeah. It was like so opposite. I wonder why they killed that. I could see why they would kill that. Really? Yeah. Because it's not-- suddenly, it's like a really dirty movie. Yes, it's not cute and charming anymore. But I also thought that maybe that's what would give it some more legs. Yeah. I heard a movie pitched the other day that sold off a two-line pitch. And it sold for like a couple million dollars. Do you want to hear it? OK, go. OK, so tell me if you think this sounds amazing. OK, it's a romantic comedy. And it's about a girl who's never had a relationship last more than 30 days. And it's about a guy who has only been in long-term relationships. So like one of-- And they get together. Oh, no, not at all. No. No, it's not doing it for me at all. I thought it sounded pretty good. Really? Yeah. I mean, like, it sounds fine. I don't know if I'd be like, fuck yeah, let's make that movie. Yeah, sold off a two-setting pitch. Interesting. Isn't it crazy? Wow, someone could buy that. Like someone actually paid for those words. For what you just put together. They paid the writer to go write it. But that was all that they pitched. Oh, I'll buy that. Oh, that's what that means? Yeah. Oh, well, then we sold ours off a-- I mean, yeah. Three sentences, too. Yeah, off of-- You shouldn't work with influencers. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, the original one we signed. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had a movie deal. And yeah, we sold that off. We sold it pretty quick. I didn't know that's what's selling me. I thought when you sell something, it means they write you a check for like $5 million. Yeah, they wrote a check. Oh, that we didn't sell it, never mind. They wrote her a check for the idea. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's crazy. Unless she goes writes it. Wow. Did you watch Young Washington? And oh, you watched Young Washington. Yeah. What did you think? I mean, I loved it. Yeah, OK. I never watched stuff like that. My dad's really into stuff like that. I'm confused why they don't make-- why there aren't any Washington movies. Yeah, that is weird. How is that not a bigger thing? He's like our guy, right? Well, he says it's not a sexy era. But he's the first-- He's the first weeks. But he's the first president of the United States. You can definitely make that sexy. Yeah? He found America. What do you mean? He found America. I think the colonial era is kind of sexy. Bridgerton exists. There's seven movies about the guy who started Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg. This guy started America. Yeah. I think it's like a pretty fucking interesting topic. And I don't know enough about it. I mean, obviously, we learned about it in school. But that goes in one ear out the other. OK, what do you think? Well, what's cool about the movie is that it's not about George Washington as the president. Correct. Or even running for president. No. It's his origin story and how he got there, which was so fascinating. Oh, he was working for the British. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. So that's crazy. So he's working for the British. The British send him out there to fact and do shit. And if he fails, it's his fault. And if he succeeds, the British will take all the glory. But that's exactly what I'm saying is like that is double interesting. Yeah. That like I've never seen or heard about really good. Yeah. Yeah. But I think there'll be a second one probably, right? Is sequel? Yeah. Older Washington. You think? I thought that. Well, it kind of set up for like-- Yeah, it set up for something coming. You think he's going to be president? I don't know. I know for him. Yeah. I don't know. Did you-- you should watch End of Oak Street, though. I recommend this to my podcast listeners or podcasts. Yeah, but you said it's really weird. Yeah, but I want to talk about it with you. You said that. You saw it and didn't like it. And then thought about it and did like it. Yeah, because I went in the car and I started ranting about it. And I was like, what the fuck was that? And then I was ranting about it all through a 13-minute drive. And as I was pulling into the driveway, I go, oh my god. Do they just like achieve what they wanted with this movie? And it's like, I have not shut up about this fucking movie. Yeah. And I think that's what-- and here I am talking about it now. And I feel like that was maybe the goal. It's a very fucking bizarre movie. Is it about dinosaurs? It's about dinosaurs. Yeah, I'll just give you that. I don't want to give away anything else. But that's kind of it. And it's like-- I thought it was good. I don't know what it is. It's like, you're watching. You'll be like, what? I don't know. It's no dude. If I told you you had a 100 chance for your kid to be a billionaire at the age of 18, and he will do really good for the world, he'll be a billion-- no, not really good for the world, because that'll actually affect your answer. He'll just be a billionaire, and he'll help you out. You personally. But there's a 1 in 100 chance of you getting this kid from your sperm. There's 100 sperms that you got going on. I know there's more, but I'm just saying in this scenario, there's 100. How many times are you going to try to have a kid to find this kid? I'm not following what you're saying. You're saying, I have 100 tries? 1 in 100 chance of getting this kid. OK, OK. Yeah. You can only try so many times, right? Like, you can try 12 times a year. No, no, no, you're saying I'm banging like a 10 of chicks? No, like, dude. God damn it. Now, are you following this? Yeah, I think it's pretty-- Solve explainatory. Oh, fuck. Oh, wait, say it again. Try again. You have 1 in 100 times a year.
thing over. I'll listen. Okay, you have one. Okay, one of your kids is gonna be incredible. Okay, it's gonna take care of you. It's gonna be a billionaire. Amazing. But it's a one in one hundred chance of that happening. Okay, so you can have a kid in nine months. It's not the kid. Oh, I'd have to have a hundred kids to get to the billionaire possible. You don't have to. It could be, it could be your second. It could be your first. It could be your seventh. It could be your 63rd. It could be already. It could be your hundredth. How many times do you try to have a kid? Not the same question for you. Seven. I mean, at what age do we like find out that they are right now right now in this age you would try. You'd have seven kids. You take seven stabs that find in this kid. I think so. Yeah. Holy shit, Jay. That's fucking kind of crazy. Yeah, what would you do? That's 63 months of being of Navin being pregnant. I actually love it. 12, 24. I don't think I would, I just don't even think it's really. I mean, I would have my like three kids that I want. Yeah. And then like, just pray that one of them's going to work out. No, that's how I would go to that. That was a crazy answer. I'm doing bucks. Yeah, but Jay, you're quite old. You're going to try it for seven kids. But what if like, what if it doesn't try to get my feeling? That's crazy. I don't think you're like thinking about this broccoli. You know, we're going to live if you can make it to 2030. I literally saw it yesterday. Seven kids. You want to live to fucking 3,000. You mean hours of TikTok live. Seven kids are. Oh my god. Wait, what are you saying? Why do you keep saying that we're going to live forever? There was like a big thing that came out a couple days ago. This guy's like, if you can make it to 2030, you'll live forever. People always say shit like that. I mean, I don't know. Listen, I'm a little, I'm a little different both than you. Like I, um, do you want to live for, oh, because you're getting closer? Yeah. I only have like fucking 300 weekends left. Oh my god. It's, that's not sure. Maybe like 1600. No, crazy away to look at it. It's kind of your summers. That's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it is. I like, I like, I like 90. What do I have? 90 summers, 40 summers left. Yeah. If you're like, maybe still think you're going to, you are one cocky dude. You don't think I'll live to 93. Bro, that is all the things that are going on in health right now. That's a big age. I would never assume I'm living till 90. You know, William Shatter's 95 and he fronts a metal band. Really? That's crazy. That's fucking great. You think you're going to live past 90? I don't want to like, yeah, here, yeah. Yeah. I do. I mean, I, um, I guess you're right. I guess it is different. Also like my genealogy, my parents are my dad's in amazing shape. He's 83. My genes. Oh, yeah. My, my, my, the type of disease that's in my family, I'm like, really lucky that way. What diseases do you guys have? We got nothing. Really? The only thing we, the only thing we have is like, um, like heart, heart attacks and stuff. But that's like, you know, if you eat poorly, my grandfather's just like a poorly. Wow. Yeah. I'll live forever, brother. I told you, I, I sent you a, a TikTok. I said, see you at the old folks home. You see it? Yeah. Imagine we're running around the old folks home together. You'd be so pissed. You're like, fuck this guy still alive. Fuck, I'd be so confusing. It would. It's not fair. We, why, you don't want to get old? I just hate that we're going to be the same age. I want to be so far. At what point are we the same age? Naveen, help David in. At what point? Naveen, uh, David's coming from Thanksgiving. He's here. Oh, help him in. Get his walker. Help him out of the car. I know Naveen. I can do it myself. Your hands off me. I can do it myself. Hey, Henry, Sarah, Jeremy, all your eight kids. My eight kids. Hey, you try. Did you see that picture of what like a seven-year-old dude's going to look like? Oh, like a lot better. You're really, you're for you pages. It's just feeding you hope. It's just Jason's hope core. Not getting the same stuff. It's gonna look like you. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really like that's like from like surgery or just like general health. No, just general health. Like, yeah, it's gonna look like 30-year-old Dave. It would at what point in time. Nice, tight, top butt. Really? They're gonna, they're gonna, what do you mean? You'll be able to look like that? Well, I won't because, you know, I'll already be like rainbow. Oh, maybe, baby. I'm not sure if I will be able to because I'm already kind of fucked because I like, are they saying they're going to be able to reverse aging? Yes. That's for sure. That, the reversing of aging is like, is totally coming. Like, there's that David St. Clair guy, the Harvard professor. But what does that mean? Like, if you reverse aging, then when do people, people need to die, right? Like, people need to die in order to like make room. Yeah, the cycle of life needs to happen. We do have a population problem. I know that, yeah. So, I'm just confused. Like, how does that, what's gonna happen there? You're just gonna reverse, you're gonna lift forever and then we just have to find different planets. No, I think that you'll still die. But I think you'll just, three dumbest people to find. You'll die, but just like last. I'll be different. Now, you just be younger throughout your life. Like, look younger. And then you'll still die at 90. No, you do look younger. You're right about that. And you're also younger. You're biological clock. Cause recently. Yeah, but you'll live to like 125, 50. Does that not sound exhausting to you though, Jay? Yeah. I mean, I'm getting exhausted by New Year's and Christmas back to back. So I see what you mean. Yeah, like, I feel like fuck New Year's. Like, I feel like I'm in my head. I'm like, I'm gonna live to like, I'm 65 70 right now. That's a little bit of a younger perspective. There's no way, David. You're gonna live to like a fucking 110. What are you talking about? 65 is crazy. 65 is crazy. I mean, unless you're like going to take up a risky hobby, I think that's like everything goes well. But yeah, literally your dad is like a damn supermodel. Really? Your dad's a really good shape. You have like, you have good genetics too. You have, and you're not that tall. So you're gonna live longer. Cause you're about five four, right? Yeah. Yeah, cause I'm closer to the earth. I'm more grounded and shorter people live longer. Is that true? Yeah. Wow. Did you know that people with big calves, like, you know, I'll live me by 40 years. People with big calves, what? John, that's John. Did people with big calves live forever? I mean, that's John. Is that like a Filipino thing? Have you seen that island in grace for everyone lives like the longest? Is that like a blue zone or something like that? Yeah, they just eat fish. What's a blue zone? There's like zones around the world, or there's people that like scientifically proven they live longer. Probably last longer too. They live longer healthier lives because they're eating. Yeah, they're diet as different or the way that they go about their life is different. You know, their lifestyle is just different. Can you be, can you even like, imagine yourself like, like, what do you think you'd be doing at 65? But that's my problem is like, once, like, what am I, like, living till 120? What does that get? What does that do for me? For me specifically, like, why would I want that? Kids, grandkids, like seeing your, my mother gets to see her grandkids, like, go to college, like, do cool shit, everything. Okay. I guess you're right. I don't have that. Literally everything talking to her early. But like, aside from that, like, when you're 65, like, what will you be doing? You think you'll be still eager and creative? Brother, I'm not there now. All right. Listen to read my mind for four hours the other night. Then look at my cock and the bathtub. No, I don't know. I have to figure out. Also, who knows? By then, maybe no one will have to work because of robots. I could see you, like, getting into homes. No, I think I might have like a, I think I might have like a pretty significant pivot. Yeah, I could see you pivoting to something crazy pivot. I don't know what it's going to be. I don't know if it's going to be like a big money-making thing. It could be like teaching. Yeah. But it will be, I do not, not for a while. I was just saying, like, in my 50s, I could see like a serious pivot. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. Is that kind of pivot or you're saying, like, I'd love to teach making a movie? No, movie would be really a monster percentage. We're still going to be making money. I don't know if I can steal from you if you're a teacher. I don't like the stealing narrative. It's supporting. I don't know if I can continue to support you. I'd love to pivot right now. To what? I'd love to pivot too. I would love to, like, I feel like you wouldn't. Like, what would you even want to pivot to? I obviously think I wouldn't because you think that my life revolves around you. She's not like us. She has, like, regular world brain. Yeah. She is kind of boring. No passion, no drives. Like, if you're a regular world brain dude, that's kind of the most the best dish I've ever heard. And you were trying to play it off as like a compliment. Well, it is a compliment in a way. She's not like us. She's an M.D. She's like, let's say they're like, David Jason, you can't create anymore. Like, it's no one, whatever, for whatever reason. It's against the law. Like, and for that, now it would, now it just go, like, do something else. You go work in fashion or fucking. What's that? It's still creating fashion. It's still creating. You said creating, right? I guess fashion is still creating, but like, I'm just saying, like, you could drop her in any business and she should do great. Okay. But I couldn't. I'll speak for myself. Like, I know I, people have come to me with all kinds of stuff. Like, you want to sell cars? I'm like, I wouldn't last a fucking day. I wouldn't last a day, just mentally. I've had jobs like that. And I'm like, I can't do this. I'd really say that. It's so funny. Have you ever been at a real job? Yeah. Yeah. It's frightening.
I mean, it's, it's, it's literally, it's like so sucking. - It's like, you have to be creative. - I mean, I'm so, I'm so lucky I get to do this, even though I do it with really shitty. But like, I've had jobs, like, and it's, like, I wanna kill myself in an office. I don't feel that way at all. - Okay, cool, that's great. - I've always thought, like-- - And I'm not putting down people that, like, go to a job every day. I think that's fucking awesome. But like, I can't do it mentally. Even when I was a writer in like-- - And Jay, like-- - On a TV show, I was like-- - The reason I wanna be inside. - The reason I always say I would love to be a teacher, is because like, one, you are allowed to be creative, you're allowed to teach people in like creative ways. - Yeah. - And two, just the community of not only students, but the other teachers that you have is so fun. It's like, there's no better way to be creative than that. And then I also like-- - That's rewarding, a teacher's rewarding. Okay, I'll give you that. - But I'm just saying, like, in any, I always-- - I can make it be a teacher. - That's not an office though. - Okay, no, I say, I always think in any job, whatever I'm doing, I'm going to find like the joy in it. I don't know, and I feel just like being with people, making even just the person next to you laugh. - Yeah. - Like that's kind of all it takes, right? - Yeah. - It's all in scale, like making your coworker laugh when you're working at Medline is just as exciting as making a million people laugh online. To me, no? Is that not like very similar to you? - I can. - And you not find the creativity in every job? - I can't work on something that I don't like fucking like believe in or love, like I couldn't go-- - I think that's like the joy. - Like Mike works for the camping company. - Yeah. - Right. I couldn't do it. I don't give a fuck about 10s. - Yeah, but like-- - Do you know what I mean? - Okay, I worked, well I only had two jobs. - Yeah. - Retirement home? - Yep. - And like tennis coach, I would say retirement home was like way more real than tennis coach was. - Yeah. - But retirement home, like, do I love being a waiter? - Fuck no, but was it like so much fun, like with my like co-workers and then getting to meet all the like all the old folks? Like, that was really like I had so much fun with everybody. - You're so funny. I don't think, I think you must have had great co-workers 'cause I worked at a retirement home and everybody was on heroin. I've never had a moment in my life that I have not, not moment. I've never had like a situation, whether that's with school or with a job or with anything that I have not found. Like the serious silver lining in. - Yeah, that's good. That's good quality. - And I think that's why I'm always like hyping up everywhere I live. I feel like I haven't gotten the place wrong in my entire life. And it's not necessarily 'cause like I'm buying bigger and better or whatever. I think I just like genuinely, even when I was at my apartment with three roommates, I in my fucking head, like I genuinely thought I won the lottery. Like at that moment, like the real lottery, I was like this is as good as it could possibly get. - Wait, in LA your three rooms? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were making YouTube videos. - No, not for the first year and a half, I was there. I was barely paying rent. - You were going to a job every day. - Three roommates. Yeah, yeah, what do you mean? - Yeah, of course that's fun. Moved to LA with your buddies. - Yeah. - And now moved to LA with Alex Orrents, that's a blast. - Yeah, but I'm saying also when I was at my retirement home, I'm like I'm a road away from my retirement home. I work with all these people, I think are really funny. My, our boss is a fucking bitch, but it's so funny 'cause us and the co-workers get to like complain about it. It's like a sitcom. Like I don't know, I feel like you would do the same thing. You would find it's so fun to be like. - I think I liked jobs that had a little freedom. Like I love my job cutting grass. - Oh freedom, fucks me, I think in a job. That's so tough. - If you told me, if you told me right now, Jay, you got to go work in Creighton Barrel, you got to drive Uber. - Uber, Uber. - Yeah. - Okay, yeah, that sounds like. - Yeah, I would thrive in that area. - But. - We're gonna annoy people. - They're your passengers. - Jay, you're actually trying to be an actor too. (laughing) - I made a sitcom, here's a QR code. - Here's the QR code. (laughing) - All right guys, listen, that is all the time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for joining us. Thanks for vibe in with us. And please come back for the next one. That's happening next Tuesday. And we'll see you guys for next Tuesday's podcast. Bye guys.

FAQs
El Niño is a climate phenomenon involving warm ocean currents in the Pacific, not a holiday. It's unrelated to Christmas, despite its name. The term was originally used by fishermen in Peru who noticed warm water appearing around Christmas time, affecting fishing patterns.
No, El Niño does not happen every year. It typically occurs every two to seven years, and it's not a recurring event like a seasonal weather pattern. The opposite, La Niña, can also occur.
Yes, El Niño can influence weather patterns in the U.S., leading to increased rainfall, warmer temperatures, or altered storm activity. However, it's not a guarantee of extreme weather, and its effects vary by region.
In Boston, a nor'easter is considered the worst type of storm. It's known for bringing strong winds, heavy snow, and dangerous travel conditions, and locals often refer to it as the most frustrating winter weather.
No, helicopter crashes are not as frequent as the media suggests. The perception of increased crashes is often due to media coverage, which focuses on every incident, creating a skewed impression of frequency.
There's growing belief that aging can be reversed or slowed through medical advances. While people may live longer, the focus is on healthier aging and staying active, not necessarily living to extreme ages like 120.
