And then you would go to Manhattan, and a lot of these restaurants that my uncle had, you'd see these kind of quiet people, and they were all very well-dressed, and they were in suits. In Manhattan, they live in these stone townhouses like Epstein did. They live in these little mini stone townhouses. And I was just fascinated. I was like, it's very interesting. These people are interesting.

And that to me is an interesting thing. It's like, why are certain people in certain positions what role do the politicians play and what role do these really quiet rich people play that are kind of waspy and could be Jewish, could be anything. They're just kind of like, you know, they're quiet. They don't really want you to know too much about them. They really value their privacy.

So it's funny with the kids doing standup comedy to me, And even these rich people that go on these reality shows, it's interesting that it used to be sacrilegious, the idea that you would show people how much money you had or that you would talk about yourself. And a lot of that started to change. A lot of these rich people just want to be famous. It almost feels like it's the last thing left.

I totally get it. If you're a young kid, you go on YouTube, you go, I want to be David Dobrik. I don't want to be... Who's that? David Dobrik. He's like a big guy on YouTube. Oh, okay. He does... Mr. Beast? He's like a Mr. Beast type. He's not as big. Mr. Beast is like a planet.

But Dobrik's big, you know, or whoever. Like they look at these young and they entertain like younger people. He does fun videos about like, hey, whatever. I don't know that. It's always the same. It's like, what if I fill the pool with M&Ms? Whatever. It's like that type of thing. It's not like the Ukraine deep dive or whatever. It's a fun, goofy thing.

And kids look at that and go, well, that guy's making a lot of money. He has a great car. He's got a hot girlfriend. He lives in a big mansion. I want to be that guy. Of course. But I think they missed the idea that that guy works really, really hard. Right. That's the thing that I think people don't understand about these social media people.
