Stephen A.'s daughter was on his podcast. Stephen A was just with us two days ago, I don't know what it was, three days ago, we were together, he came, he was at the Yankees game with us. But him and his daughter are on the podcast. I think his daughter is gonna be a superstar. I think she's gonna be a superstar, talented. But what they're there, they ask a question of what his daughter would do if Stephen A got older.
Would she have him living with her and hiring a nurse or putting him in an old folks home? Listen to this answer and I'm curious, Tom, what you think about this. Go for it.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:36)
You need to find me my own house.

**Vinny** (0:42)
You really are on drugs.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
You need to find me an Amex card. You need to find me more clothes. You know what I mean? Like there's so much to build. Like how you said, you're still going up. We can go up together. This doesn't have to be a you thing. It can be a we thing.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:01)
And then when I'm older and I have nothing.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:04)
Nursing home.

**Vinny** (1:04)
And I need you to take care of me.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:05)
Nursing home.

**Adam** (1:06)
You can't do that.

**Dr. Oz** (1:07)
You're not going to do that.

**Vinny** (1:08)
Two words, dad.

**Adam** (1:10)
Nursing home. So you'd put your dad in a nursing home.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:12)
Nursing home.
Well, what else would I do? Take care of you myself?

**Adam** (1:16)
How about that? Or put me in your home and have 24-hour nursing assistant.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:22)
In my house? With my kids?
And my car? And my husband? In my pool? In my guest room?

**Dr. Oz** (1:33)
I'm just your dad.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:36)
Exactly.

**Adam** (1:36)
The one that made it all possible.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:39)
I would love you from a distance, dad. You know I love you from a distance.
We better that way.

**Vinny** (1:45)
You're my heart, though.

**Adam** (1:48)
Can we leave now?

**Vinny** (1:50)
Can you just say goodbye to the audience?

**Dr. Oz** (1:51)
Because I'm done. I'm done with this.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:53)
I had a great time here with you guys.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:54)
You can pause it right there.

**Vinny** (1:55)
But I would watch this reality show all day.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:58)
So what do you think, Tom? What do you think about what she said, nursing home? He's making the money.
This is the highest paid guy in the marketplace, okay? He's the gold in the space. He's made a lot of money. That money is probably going to go to her. What do you think about the answer she gave?

**Tom** (2:16)
Stephen A., if you're listening, and I know you are, I have two lovely daughters that have a slightly different perspective. And I think they need to get together. Because I think it's just perspective of kids sometimes, and that they need to see it. My mom lived with us, and grandma was playing cards, grandma was playing Uno, and they loved it, absolutely loved it. My sister is up in Boynton Beach. We would come to visit. We would go each other dinner. And it was a really precious time. And I think as your daughter gets older and closer to that, and she can see the joy of her kids with grandpa, you know, doing things, playing Uno, going out in the pool, doing all that. Clearly, Stephen A., you're going to have your own house. It'd be more like she and her husband, her kids, maybe they get the privilege to move into your house, this side of inheritance, and then you all live together as a family. But if you ever want to get together, one of my daughters in town, you and Samantha, let's get together. It won't be a fight. It's going to be perspectives on the table.

**Vinny** (3:18)
But Stephen, if I was you, I would right now, you know, when you're doing the trust and everything, put it in there, make it, sign it to where nobody gets anything unless you get to live in a house with them. They have to take care of you. Can you do that? Nobody gets one dollar. You don't get a dollar until I'm in my underwear, walking around your house with a coffee, doing whatever I want to do.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:39)
He's down the street from some of the best estate planners.

**Vinny** (3:41)
He's Gucci.

**Patrick Bet-David** (3:42)
He can get it done.
Adam, how do you process it? Do you have a different angle than what Tom and Vinny just said?
