00:00Do you know how much the Mega Million jackpot is right now?
00:02A hundred million.
00:0349 million.
00:04Probably like 10 mil.
00:06It's actually 1.02 billion.
00:10Oh yeah, that is the Mega Million.
00:11Why am I not playing?
00:19Are you planning to partake in buying a ticket?
00:22No.
00:22I don't believe that money falls out of the sky.
00:27You earn it.
00:28I mean, this is all to distract us from really what's going on in this country.
00:33If you were to win that money, what would you do with it?
00:36I'd buy a house.
00:37I would definitely give a lot back to my parents.
00:40I would pay for college and then move to the beach.
00:43Move to New York City.
00:44Just space for like one little hut.
00:46I would like to have like my own island.
00:48I think that'd be nice.
00:49I think I would like spend a ton of money just on family and friends going to a beach house
00:54or cruise, rent out a whole, you know, a whole boat or something like that.
00:58I would probably buy my own dog and like train it.
01:01I'd buy a cat.
01:04I mean, I can't say I wouldn't spend it because I'd probably get like,
01:06go get the new iPhone, like the iPhone she has right there or something.
01:09If I won the lottery, I would go on a vacation and then put the rest in savings
01:14to buy a house when the market goes down.
01:17Probably fly to Ibiza, pop a pill, like, you know, like the song said.
01:22I would buy a theater where I could do a traveling burlesque troupe
01:28that we travel and then have a station theater as well.
01:31I'd definitely buy a Tesla for sure.
01:33Like the fast one, the fast one.
01:35Would you share it with any of your friends?
01:37Let me, let me think about, no.
01:38How much are you giving to that?
01:39No, zero, zero.
01:42I would rent a yacht in the Mediterranean.
01:44Uh, I think I would buy a house on a mountain in Colorado.
01:50Actually, I'm not going to rent the yacht.
01:51I'm going to buy it, duh.
01:52You have to develop a foundation and then, you know, educate yourself on who needs what.
01:58And then, you know, go around the world and hopefully help people.
02:02Maybe invest in some charities for sure.
02:04Especially for some health care, for animals, definitely.
02:09You know, look at the Gates.
02:10Of course they're divorced now, but they developed the foundation
02:14and they've done a lot of great work with it.
02:17Donate a lot of it.
02:18I would like choose charities that I think are responsible and trustworthy and also invest.
02:27I hope it gets broken up into a thousand people win a million dollars.
02:34How's that?
02:35That's what I hope.
02:36I got to thinking, what in the f*** would I do with that money?
02:40All right, that becomes a very big responsibility.
02:44And for most of us on the planet, we don't, our minds don't function in terms of billions.
02:54What would be your advice for the person who wins?
02:56If it's not you, what would be your advice for the 1.2 billion dollars?
02:59Be selfless and then be selfish.
03:02I would say follow your gut feelings because that's what's,
03:07that's where the information from your specific life comes from.
03:13Okay, and if you feel that you should play the mega millions, go risk a couple of bucks.
