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.
