00:00Hey AD, I'm Jimmy Butler, welcome to California, better yet, welcome to my house.
00:16I think fancy people call this a foyer, I don't call it that, I call it the beginning
00:20of a house like the, I don't know, but it's not a foyer.
00:23You got art, it is a ton of space to do absolutely nothing.
00:26This is actually probably the most pointless area in the house, but I guess you just walk
00:31to the front door and then you're here.
00:33Oh, and there's a, there are roses.
00:46The designer I worked with, Tiffany, Tiffany Brooks Interior.
00:52I was just telling her, yo, get freaky with it, and she came in here and really fucked
00:56some shit up.
00:57I'm very impressed.
00:58I think I said I just want, like, it to be really, really, really light.
01:03Like, I want all this natural light, I want white walls, light floors, pretty couches
01:08and stuff.
01:09I didn't ask for this table, though, she put that there.
01:11I probably take a lot of credit for it now that I think about it.
01:14Like, when people ask, oh, what'd you do to the house?
01:15I was like, I put a table in this room, a piano over here, it was Tiffany that did it.
01:22This is like my live music room.
01:24When I say live music room, I mean if any of my musical friends are coming over, this
01:30is where we set them up.
01:32If and when we have karaoke, AD, everybody's invited, I will outperform anybody.
01:38I may not sound the best, but I guarantee I put on a great show.
01:41Ooh, go-to karaoke song.
01:43Right now, this second, a bar song, everybody, yeah, that one.
01:47And if we like, all time, it's Mario, Mario, however you want to say it, let me love you.
02:04This is the kitchen.
02:05That's my baby's chair right there.
02:07My daughter's seat, my significant other's seat.
02:09That's a lie.
02:10I'm single ladies, holla at me, y'all seen my house.
02:14So a normal morning, afternoon, indoor dinner, we don't really sit down, well the kids do.
02:20We all stand up and eat, like black people do, it's like we have chairs, we just don't
02:25use them.
02:26And we just make a complete utter mess, there's food all on the floor from the kids.
02:31At one point in time, we all have to understand that we are our kids' bitches, if you're a
02:36parent.
02:37Whatever the kids say, you just have to do.
02:39So we could have full-blown steak and potatoes, and then Riley's like, I want spaghetti.
02:46And then fucking Riley gets spaghetti, because I'm a little bitch.
02:56This place is called The Conservatory.
02:59The reason that I like this space is because like with the floors, I feel like I'm in Italy,
03:04but I'm in California, I'm at home.
03:06Hot, it is hot in this room.
03:09In this hot-ass window, in these windows, it is hot in here.
03:13The chandelier that's up here, it's custom-made for me, it's beautiful, it looks cool in this
03:19hot-ass room.
03:20Tiffany did design it, she picked, uh, just, there's too many shaped light bulbs up there,
03:27and I just think it's Tiffany being Tiffany, just hella extra for no reason.
03:32But it's, good job, Tiff.
03:34Did great.
03:39Now we are in the wine cellar, which is my new favorite area of the house.
03:45It's the vibe that I was going for, like darker, drink your wine, spill it on the floor, you
03:50can't really tell because it got all this dark brick.
03:53Chris Hoel is the master sommelier, is that how you say it?
03:58Sommelier.
03:59Sumo wrestler.
04:00He's the one that drinks all the wine, and he's the one that helps me to collect all
04:06of this expensive grape juice.
04:09This is my favorite wine, it is the absolute greatest, Sesekaya, shouts to y'all.
04:15In 2013, Mark Wahlberg was in town filming Transformers, and when we get to his trailer,
04:20he's like, hey, do you drink wine?
04:21And I was like, no, and then the dude next to me was like, yes you do, you don't tell
04:25Mark Wahlberg that you don't drink wine?
04:26And he popped a bottle of 2010 Sesekaya, and that's probably the most collected wine that
04:32I have.
04:33This is the hallway, I call this the big boy hallway, because obviously, all the big bottles.
04:38That leads to the main part of this wine cellar, I swear, if I hit one of these steps
04:43behind me, where all the normal sized bottles are, which is behind me, yeah, see that?
04:54I've been here a ton of times, that I know where each and every, I definitely didn't
04:58know that that last one was a step.
05:02Now we are here, we have made it to the rotunda.
05:06Look at this chandelier, Tifton did it again.
05:11Those are moon rocks on the top of the chandelier up there, straight from Mars.
05:16The total cellar holds about 20,000, and I think I got like 6,100 bottles in here as
05:22we speak.
05:23This behind everybody right here, you know what?
05:29This is my California section, you got the Screaming Eagle over here, and then we're
05:34going into Italy.
05:37This area is the Bordeaux, Bordeaux is here.
05:42This is probably my favorite bottle in here, a 1973 Mouton Rothschild, I know I butchered
05:48that because I don't speak French, but Picasso's painting is on here, and then from there,
05:53we go to, back that thing up, you a fine motherfucker, I want you to back that thing up.
05:59This is also Bordeaux, so keep backing that thing up, you a fine motherfucker, back that
06:04thing up.
06:05This is Burgundy, which me and Chris, we take a trip to Burgundy in the middle of July,
06:12so middle of July, we'll be in Burgundy, trying to get much more.
06:15Let's talk about two very, very, very important bottles to me, myself.
06:19The Code D'Estrinel, I think I said that right.
06:23This bottle means a lot to me because Neymar's number 10, and I think they only did 10 of
06:29these bottles, so I begged and pleaded with them to give me the 10th bottle.
06:35Neymar's the GOAT, so everything we do in here is all about number 10.
06:39And then this one is called Ducru, and this one is special because it's from 2019, which
06:45is my daughter's birth year, so they put Riley Butler on here.
06:48They did 33 of this collection, guess what number mine is?
06:53Any takers?
06:5410.
06:55Neymar again.
06:56It's all about Neymar, if you haven't noticed.
07:07We're at my domino table slash card table.
07:10This is where I be kicking ass.
07:13Oh, crazy.
07:15I started playing dominoes when I was probably like four, and this is how my dad taught me
07:20how to count.
07:21And ever since then, I've just been the best at it, I'm not afraid to admit that.
07:25Some people like to stay humble about it, fuck that, I am the best in the world at dominoes.
07:30A lot goes on out here, pool, cabana over there, kitchen, sand volleyball.
07:35The craziest part about the sand volleyball court is it used to be a tennis court, and
07:40then I was like, I don't even fucking like tennis, so I got a great idea, let's just
07:43dump fucking 20 tons of sand on top of it, and then the following summer, you fall in
07:49love with tennis.
07:50That's how stupid I am.
07:51So now I gotta figure out a place to put a tennis court.
07:53We work out on the sand, just a different way to get ready for the season.
07:57Running, volleyball, obviously, beach tennis is a new thing that we've been doing, and
08:03then foot volley, so whenever the Brazilians are over here at the house, that's the game
08:08that they wanna play.
08:11I'm not gonna say I'm not good, but it's a challenge.
08:15I'm not gonna say I've won every time, I'm not gonna say I've lost every time either,
08:19but it's difficult.
08:20I've lost every time.
08:21I just like Southern California because you got all the space that you need, it's quiet.
08:26I like that.
08:27I just wanna be around my people.
08:28I wanna do what I wanna do and not bother anybody.
08:31What better place to do it than Southern California?
08:33Yeehaw.
08:45This is my spot.
08:46This is the first Big Face coffee shop here, my own home.
08:50I will allow my neighbors to come in here, but for everybody here, coffee will cost you
08:5660 bucks, and I'm not fucking around.
08:58We don't take cash here, but I take cash under the table, so.
09:01Big Face Coffee is a venture that I really started in the bubble, and it just started
09:06out with a love of coffee, and since then, I've been able to build this incredible team
09:11behind Big Face to help make all of this stuff come to life.
09:15After basketball, this is what I wanna be doing.
09:18For me, personally, coffee's a lot like wine in the sense that you can never know everything
09:23about it, but more than anything, you get to sit down with people that you don't get
09:26to see every day, and I mean, that's always been my dream, just chill, coffee, and talk
09:31to some really good people.
09:33This is a custom machine that we did with La Marzocco.
09:36We got the opportunity to go visit La Marzocco in Italy, and the first thing that I saw when
09:42I was in there was this machine, and I was just like, can I please, please, please have
09:47one?
09:48They said yes, and now I have it in my own home.
09:49I don't think you'll see one of these anywhere else in the United States, by the way, so
09:54think about that.
10:01We are in the dining room.
10:04In the hood, growing up, where you eat at is called the living room, but now that I'm
10:08a little bit fancy, I have a dining room.
10:12This is where all my cool friends come over, and we eat dinner, and we drink expensive
10:16wines, and we talk about nothing important, and I get to put my foot up on this chair
10:20because I paid for it, so I do what I want to do in my house.
10:24I don't do too much in this space besides drink wine, and if my boys are here, and I
10:27don't want to share my wine that I paid for in my chair, then I don't have to, so I'm
10:32in here a lot by myself, too.
10:34Tiffany did an incredible job with these big paintings right here.
10:38I feel like they say something in this area.
10:40Tiffany picked these.
10:41Tiffany, great find, great pick.
10:43These are daffodils.
10:44Yeah, I'm a botanist.
10:56Right now, we are on this landing upstairs above the entry slash foyer.
11:04These chairs are Carl's chairs.
11:06Brian's a good friend of mine, so thank you for the chairs, Brian.
11:09They're out here because they were going to go in my daughter's room, but then I figured
11:13when I wasn't looking, she would draw all over them, so now I can watch her drawing
11:18them out here in this beautiful hallway because I know it's going to happen.
11:31This is my bed.
11:32It's customed.
11:33Tiffany didn't do that one.
11:35I did that.
11:36I think it's like nine by something.
11:39It's pretty big.
11:40Very, very, very comfortable, and then I have a ... It's not a strategically placed big
11:44face mug back there or anything, but it's a coffee cup back there.
11:48I wanted to be able to come here and just relax.
11:50I don't want too many colorful things.
11:52I want it to be very, very, very neutral.
11:54I think she overdid it on the fancy pillows on the bed.
11:57Every day I get in the bed, I have to throw all those off and then put them back on.
12:01I mean, the night ritual is my daughter comes running in here from the other room and jumps
12:07on the bed because she doesn't want to go to sleep like kids do, then I'm in here watching
12:13my show.
12:14I could be watching anything.
12:15Batman, Superman, Money Talks, ooh, Bad Boys.
12:19Love that movie.
12:21Fucking Bluey.
12:22I don't want to fucking watch Bluey at 11 o'clock.
12:25You shouldn't even be up at 11.
12:27As often as I should get great sleep in my own bed, because with my kids, I do not.
12:32But I love y'all.
12:33I really do.
12:34This view is really special to me.
12:36Once again, I love Europe.
12:38I love Italy.
12:39And so whenever I look out over the balcony, it's a way to say we kind of brought Italy
12:43to us here.
12:45Because growing up, I didn't even know where Italy was.
12:48I was never supposed to make it to go see Italy.
12:50So now I can wake up in the morning and I get my own little piece of Italy.
12:57My bathroom.
13:02I mean, it's a bathroom.
13:03It got two toilets.
13:05It got two showers.
13:07Tiffany wanted a stand-alone tub.
13:09Tiffany got a stand-alone tub.
13:11I'm going to take the credit for this one.
13:12I did ask for a floor-to-ceiling marble, actually.
13:16And I knew that this was marble.
13:18I definitely did.
13:19It was my idea to start on the floor and take it to the ceiling with the marble.
13:22I mean, I feel like you're dirty as hell if you don't spend a lot.
13:25You have to take showers.
13:27And I work out consistently.
13:29So I would say I'm in here about, if the kids are taking a bath and you can't leave your
13:35kids uncivilized because they just drink the pee water, which I don't even understand why
13:39kids do that.
13:40So they're in the fucking tub for 45 minutes.
13:43That adds on to the time that I'm in here.
13:44Probably like two showers a day, maybe three.
13:47And like 15 minutes.
13:4915 times three.
13:5157.
13:52Yeah, 57 minutes.
13:56♪♪
14:02Thanks for coming through.
14:04Kids must be fed.
14:05And I must play dominoes.
14:08See ya!
14:09♪♪
