Holy shit this dude fucking lives on his plane. Like I feel guilty about the 2-3x per year I fly to see family but this fucker has flown that far already in the past week. Why? Does he not know how to do a video call?

Dude takes a 22 minute flight. My god how small do you need to feel to boost your ego to do that instead of video.
