The Millionaire Pitcher that Lives in a Van
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2015
- Daniel Norris signed a bonus worth just over $2 million to join the
Blue Jays organization out of high school. While life on the road
becomes normal for any pro athlete, the 21-year-old takes things to
the next level by spending his summers living in a Volkswagen camper van. VICE Sports traveled down to Blue Jays Spring Training to meet one of the sport's top pitching prospects.

A professional athlete that won't be broke 3 years after he retires.
if those fools just learned simple money management and dont buy gucci and iced out 50k necklaces and watches, shit wouldn't happen. You dont need to live like a bum to have money in the bank after you retire.
@@whitegoodman7465 How is living in a van "living like a bum"
@@whitegoodman7465 just say you dont like black people and go
@@drippy4622 your a absolute idiot..
*ahhaahhaha*
This guys got ot figured out. Saving money, no one to impress and living life on the road. I guarantee this guys quality of life is top tier.
psychonaut ready for launch! 🤙🏾💯
f you that's right Bruh what tf are you talkin about
@f you that's right you look dumb rn
f you thats right you completely misinterpreted his comment you dumbass
💯
“Just cause money’s their doesnt mean that you gotta have nicer things than you used to have.” You dont hear that a lot these days
@Keenan Thomas nobody would use his logic and say life is meant to be explored and consumed
Everybody wants to achieve fullfilment. Consume ist literally buying dozes of happiness. You need to become happy with your life, to the point where you'd say "i've all i need to be happy"
@MANCHESTER UNITED lol wut
@MANCHESTER UNITED pretty hard to be huge in over 240 countries when there are only 195 countries on earth....
Kyoskii yeah right. They play on mars and jupiter too
@Keenan Thomas You sound like someone trying to defend something or way of being.
Does his pull-ups at Walmart...Respect brother!
I usually just pull up to Walmart
@@russellmuscle7434 That was fucking hilarious, +rep.
you'll think he'll need access to a decent gym and proper nutrition-if you playing sports to a high level
No Kipping too.
Would've been funny if at the end of the video he's just "nah im just playing" and pulls into a million dollar mansion.
Ben A mansion costs more than that.
SchneiderMan lol shut up.
Ben I literally thought that was gonna happen😂
Ben Not in Canada.
a million dollar mansion is a joke, a mansion costs more than that rofl. my house costs $2million in a private park and it aint no mansion
Some people may think he's crazy, but the truth is He is genuinely free. Freedom is cheap and everyone should try.
I agree with you
It doesn't matter though, he doesn't need the next big pay day, he's happy with or without money as you can see, he's simple.
i would try it but I don t even have money to buy that van
yeah, i'm into it too. I'm trying to revive my yellow vw bug since 2012.
But many things happen and priorities surge,
it's a phenomenon called marriage.
+Bruce Lee Wait who tf do you think you are?
That's awesome. You won't ever hear about him being broke years down the road. Good for him and may his journey lead him to great places and epic memories.
he lives like he's broke so what's the difference
@@moshpitman27 he doesn't have to worry about food
@@moshpitman27 he won't be bankrupt once he retires
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 fuck off! He could live like a middle class person and never go broke. Hes just a fucking idiot like you are thats why u think hes so fucking smart.
@@jeffreyval9665 Is there a need to "live like a middle class person?" He's single and can pretty much go wherever he feels like going. When he retires he can drive that VW around the world multiple times and not run out of money. But, you know, he's not a slave to the rat race like you and me so he must be an idiot.
Cool story about a free thinking minimalist who happens to be a professional athlete.
A minimalist with a locker full of dirty clothes.
Jim Christiansen not the point he’s actually making money unlike the broke college millennials
Jim Christiansen was gonna like this, but it’s got 420 likes and I’m not gonna ruin that
He’s devoutly Christian. Nothing free thinking about that.
@@sethh1943 edgy
There is something definitely right about this.
He owns his money and not the other way around.
This is a man who is refined, not defined!
Talent goes a long way!
❤
Very good comment
Top Cat he ain’t a real baller he gave up that live to live a bum ass life
If his money is in the bank, he doesn’t own it
Albino Harambe being a “real baller” is being a slave to some idea of luxury that someone much smarter sells to insecure suckers who “ball out” til they’re broke and miserable.
Dude's living the life and whenever he chooses too he can buy a nice little house and live a comfy life. Respect.
bakerXderek I seem to find you everywhere, I see you have a lot of down time.
bakerXderek you keep on popping up in the comments of a lot of videos around UA-cam, surprises me everytime.
bakerXderek Cheeeaahhh!
bakerXderek Chia!
bakerXderek that's odd I was just watching your vlog before this mang. hahaha
This honestly isn’t that bad. Safe place to stay at the Blue Jays facility, comfy bed, warm weather, locker room to shower and do dishes in. I’m jealous
you do realize hes in Canada right? lol wow
jun bug he’s in Florida. Spring training. There’s no palm trees in Canada.
jun bug they train in Florida or Arizona. Both very warm
jun bug nah, he got traded to Detroit shortly after this. Not much better than Canada honestly, but at least he doesn’t have to worry about crossing the border to get to warmer weather.
You should look up the prices of those vans
Rich in wealth but rich with soul and positivity too
Great guy.
He sound kinda depressed tho.
Absolutely, a real great fulfilling life
"Ok son what are your demands before you sign?"
"Couple spare tires and some antifreeze should do."
Lance Buttercream never forget the Little pine tree air freshener to throw on top of the dirty clothes
You pitch a hard bargain son...
In best possible Slingblade accent: "Couple spare tires and some antifreeze should do." 😂
Life is not about getting what you want, it's about wanting what you got; happiness comes from within👍Rad story!
Antifreeze? Two words - Volkswagen, Florida.
there is something definitely right about this. he owns his money and not the other way around.
Plus no house taxes or rent... very low internet taxes too. Pretty fucking ingenious.
Jakub Titus Yeah.. yet he's a millionaire.. how fucking brilliant is this.
It's like the quote that says "save money to save you".
camillako
pretty sure his money owns him thats why he's not spending it....
how is whats he's doing all that great when you wouldn't do that nor 99% of the other millionaires.
in reality its an extremely stupid idea just to appease his satisfaction of needing nothing......
think of it as 2 extremes spending too much and spending too little.
ppl think he's a saint for being at 1 extreme end of the spread.
but if you think objectively its just the opposite of an extreme and pretty stupid hence 99% of the time people wouldn't do it.
no he's not living the life he's living as a homeless.....what's living the life suupose to mean, being happy? you don't have to live like him to be happy.......he's just not miserable so unless you're miserable he's no more happy than you.
camillako right!
davethelave Oh so it's stupid because 99% of the population wouldn't do it. Maybe you should step out of that conditioned box you're in and be that 1%. Money isn't happiness.
Love this story - I watched this years ago, but just watched it again today with my son. You are living the dream! No need to be materialistic. You have your head on straight and are a great example for others. So happy to read you are cancer free. Stay healthy and keep catching those waves!
He seems like he’s actually happy with his life.
you can be very sure he is
why wouldn't he
Hey guys btw he is cancer free now. The thyroid surgery was successful.
Thats good
Glory to God
+Cyberchase i also have thyroid problmes
+I spent 6 hours trying to figure out my username Good luck bro
Marquis Howard its just hyperthyroidism but it causes anxiety like i cant breath and as if there is a ball in my throat sooo annoying!!!
I have a friend who is like this. Just doesn't care about owning stuff. Surfs a lot. Works and saves his money. Kinda jealous of him at times.
***** We all get trapped. Not to sound cheesy but, "The man who spends money on experiences will be 100x more happy than the man that spent his money on possessions " I stopped blowing hundreds of dollars going out with friends, me and my true friends just hang out and enjoy each others company.
bluehorse888 good send me you stuff then ..and you money so you don,t get more stuff OK?
MikeVideos327 I don't really see the point in those types of quotes, because happiness is 100% subjective. Some people are happier with no friends or family and a bunch of possessions, some people have all the money in the world but aren't happy without significant people and experiences in their lives.
I could of explained myself better. Was just saying i agree with the overall theme that money doesnt buy happiness. Not to say i wasnt having fun when i was going out, but now im having just as much fun with my friends on the weekends without blowing $500+ every weekend. So for me its a win/win. I save money and i still see the same people that made my life more fulfilling. I hate that we have to say this now a days, but of course this is 100% an opinion.
Med Stu Dent Really? Happiness subjective? Tell me when people are on their deathbed and they reflect on life, do they remember all the stuff they bought? Or do they remember the memories they spent with others? Life is meant to be shared with others, not things....its universal.
Imagine that Tinder date that thinks she just hit the jackpot, waiting to see the exotic car and mansion only to discover "the van". lol
Classic 😅
Might be a decent way to weed out the Gold diggers 😂
@@gtgamesnapz yeah man I'm with you on this one. Because they're only going to see the young guy living the van life first. Being a wealthy major league pitcher won't be up on display. Smart.
Imagine it the other way around! That Tinder date that has no clue who he is and thinks that he´s cute but too goddamn poor to continue and THEN finds out that her new nickname will be: Almost!? ;)
yeah so funny so funny
These type of people inspire me
me too
If he doesn't have a girl friend, i'll respect him 100 times more.
Same
Dude nice profile pic
That dick guy....alone in the wilderness that show was called that he did I think. I watch it every time it comes on PBS. Still blows my mind how long he was up there for.
what a humble human being
I have a question where's the bathroom
+Hasan Khalil he would go to like a Walmart bathroom to do his business
+Hasan Khalil its everywhere,next question
what a hypocrite fuker
Bullshit.
his father must beam with pride. What an outstanding young man. Wow.
@sorry mrgoogle man stfu
Mad respect for this man. I admire this mentality so much!
there's no point on being rich if you can't enjoy simple things...
+Don Juan exactly, then why play baseball for money, do it for the joy of the game
+BetBunny dotcom Because thats where the best competition is.
+BetBunny dotcom you know damn well why. for the tens and the commas on that check
+Don Juan Just wait til some gold diggin' hooker gets into him and steals everything, he'll be fine, coz he's living like he has nothing.
+PhosphiaEU this makes sense tbh
In a world full of excess this guy is refreshing.
Agreed.
@Banjo reacting to Porn for the first time but it's so easy to blow millions on the lifestyle that you are expected to live as a professional athlete. So many of them go broke.
@Unshaved Ballsack exactly. If I had millions. I'd live in a safe 1 bedroom apt for 1000$ a month so as long I dont got a kid n a wife.
The security of money is WAY more important than how u live
@Unshaved Ballsack so true, many are not living like this by choice
HE is a EXCELLENT example of being HUMBLE and AMISH style living pure and basics:) Young and multi millionaire, im sure is less than 1 percent of USA.
money can make you trapped, his chosen freedom....respect!
not having money makes you trapped.. what are you talking about?
*_"...You'll be living in a Van, down by the River!..."_*
Dreaded88 came from Adam Sandler song. Awesome!
Bull I'll still have millions when I lay down at night in the back of that van. Lol.
By the way... Farley will always be a legend.
Damn drill sargeants wasn’t lying
Matt Foley was onto something haha
Hahha best comment ever
For all the haters: Toronto's assistant general manager, said of Norris "He takes care of himself as well as anybody we've got. He's in great shape. He competes on the mound. If that wasn't the case, maybe we'd be more worried about some of the other stuff. But right now, the van and all that is secondary. He has great values, and they're working for him." He was also diagnosed with cancer about a year ago but is now cancer free. I think this may have given his life a lot more perspective. Keep doing your thing.
Thats incredible. He is so humble. Didn't let money get to him. Respect
People with less seam to be happier than someone who has it all and wont's to keep it for themselves.happiness comes from being humble.
Robert Still Yeah but he has the security of knowing he can live wherever he wants when he gets tired of living in a van. Donate salary to charity and then lets see.
+Robert Still amen to that brother!
Isolation is the key to self discovery
masturbation to 😛
That’s what I say but people seem to think I’m just lonely and have no friends.
Or madness
All 4 comments are correct. Great streak!
I agree. Time alone to meditate
I admire his sense of contentment and appreciation of the simpler things in life.
Nice to have the freedom to be who you are. Not a Jays fan, but I'm definitely a Norris fan.
Jay Quintana Exactly, instead of blowing his money to impress others, he is living on his terms. The money will grow and be there when he needs it. At least with that he does not need to be anyones bitch.
Jay Quintana Hell yeah man well said!!!
***** Bitch.
***** What the hell are you going on about? VIDEO made a pretty valid and relevant comment. Your a pudgy idiot
you KNOW he smokes during the off season
nah he's straight edge, he said so in another interview
Perry McIver even if he would . so what?
VadimkaMr did that offend you or something?
Perry McIver Does his smoking in his off season offend you or something?
Nazanden damn you're stupid.
good way to ward off gold diggers....
Very humble gentleman and inspiring, glad i stumbled on.
Just a man going his own way
TruthOverEverything MGTOW
logwind I suspect the pitcher is gay
he needs a movie!
+joerobwood for what? he got good at baseball. got 2 million dollars. sleeps in his van. then what?
+Rudy Farias jelious
INFJ I have no idea what "jelious" is... Unless you mean "JEALOUS" then ok, I understand now but, no I'm not jealous.. Envious of his ambition perhaps but, jealous? No.. I have my own dreams I'm working on.. I don't need to be jealous of this guy. I need to keep an eye on what I want, not what others have..
+Rudy Farias I must've been so high..
+joerobwood Strange irony that to live such a "free spirited life" as most would see it requires military regimen, he has to plan so much inorder to be organized enough - "I put $7 of gas so that i don't wonder off into an adventure"... strange irony, he is soo free yet lives like a bootcamp.
What an interesting humble human being. Daniel really inspired me this morning. Continue being you Daniel have a wonderful life!
Weed is definitely in that van lol
Its Florida I doubt it
Some weed ash can put u in prison out there lol
performance enhancing weed LOL
@@kingjames-zk7fu not true I live in Florida anything less then 28 grams is punishable by a fine smoking in public is also a fine and in both situations it's at the cops discretion to let u off with a warning or citation
@@kingjames-zk7fu did u really just write "its florida, i doubt it" ? you really just wrote that? woooooooooooooow. wtf.....Lost all credibility in 5 words. 😐
*Its Florida, I doubt it* 😅😅😅😅😅😅 . The most asinine statement of all time . I could put that on a T shirt, it would sell out .
seems like a really decent guy - very humble and grounded. Need more pro athletes like this.
+Caver461 it's cause he's canadian

Every country has its idiots too.
+Liam Kuchta Dude's from Tennessee... Just plays for Toronto.
+Liam Kuchta so is Justin bebier
David Popa Yes he is
this dude is naturally baked
Im not so sure its natural
Beautiful guy. I hope he finds a nice girl deserving of all his good qualities. Hard to find these days.
I mean bro, much respect for living in the van but shit after that bonus you should at least fix the engine and deck it out
Facts. Or LS swap it lol
Honestly
@@eviltwiiin That would give more power but you would lose ability to do major repairs on the side of the road. I had a friend who pulled his Bus over a ditch and dropped the engine out to fix his transmission mounts....On the side of the road.
@@RagPunker LS engines are reliable and his car already has problems starting
@@dr3nch_g0d52 The starting problem is easy. He needs to convert it over to a 12V electrical system and switch his generator out for an alternator. Old Buses and Bugs like that sometimes struggled to start with the original 6V system. He would have to find a place to stuff a radiator where it would actually get some air to put a LS engine in it not to mention losing space inside the van.
Poor people try to look rich and rich people try to look poor. What a world we live in.
+OGKINGJAMES lol
+Paul Walker This is so true.
+Paul Walker look poor? This guy looks rich to me, look at that attitude.
+Paul Walker what gets in the way of finding oneself, to be at peace, is the insecurities of wanting to be accepted by others, otherwise feeling isolated,
meaning something must be wrong.
+Paul Walker Depends what makes you rich. Is it money? For some people being rich has nothing to do with money
I lived out of a van for 9 months. Sometimes you feel like you live in cramped quarters. Sometimes it's lonely. Lots of times people are curious about you and how you live. At night, sometimes people want to look through your windows to see what is in the van and they can't see that you are in the van looking at them because it's dark. Sometimes you have to search for and scout out a place to take a dump. Finding a place to park your van is an art form. You can't just roll up to the beach and park for the night because it's usually illegal to park there and the cops will definitely pay you a visit, usually right after you've layed down to go to sleep. They like to abruptly rap your window with their metal flash lite. I had a 8 inch black and white tv. Sometimes I'd have a party in there with co workers. My van had a stove, oven and sink. It got broken into when I visited NY city. They broke the window and stole my portable radio that was worth maybe 4$ on the street. I was lucky enough to meet and have girlfriends as I travelled. When I ran out of money I stayed in that town to work and save to keep traveling. Sometimes I talk too much.
was it worth it? really curious.
Can I hear more about this adventure?
Im also a vanlifer, id say its worth it, been doing it for about 2 years and make roughly 50k a year just travelling for work 8 months and then i have 4 months to do what ever i want
My IG is @VanGoghTravels if you want to see pictures
Great story though
I’ve always seen that van at the causeway and wondered who drove that shit lmao wow
A millionaire who doesn’t take his car to a mechanic
At least watch UA-cam and get a tool set my g
Doesn't need to worry about his van. Got a cool million incase trouble hits. Good on him tho.
I bet he was waiting for the cameras to bounce so that he could rip his bong.
knowing vice i can guarentee you they wouldn't give a shit if he did
Santiago Hernandez he was ready for them to leave so he can go to his mansion lmao
He can't he's a pro athlete he test positive for that shit he's out
The richest homeless person
AHahahahahaaa!!! Sad but True🤣🤣🤣
Nick Wright he got a home tho
Nick Wright rather, the homeless person who is prolly richer than us xD
He HAS a home. Didn’t you watch the video?
Johnny Guitar Cash nigga you can’t say nigga you ain black I black this is evil
Best thing I saw today so far. Looks like this dude knows what really matters for him and doesn't feel ashamed about it, that's rare for me.
As someone who's lived in their vehicle in the past, it definitely humbles you.. Respect
It's a good way to keep the gold diggers away too. :)
Are you kidding, it's sometimes easier to get girls. Go to club, already have afterparty in the parking lot! RSD Jeffy has a van just for that purpose 😂
LOL
bs because now they now hes still loaded if he isnt buying shit
@Mark Hanson who is and why is that a bad thing
It also keeps away girls that plan on getting a house in the future for their kids...
Keep being you brother, I know just how it is and dont let any amount of money take you away from who you are, because in the end none of it will matter. Get where you can and live how you do. You're set for life and you know life will be easy for you brother, keep being you.The simple life is the best life, that's where we know we're living.
ironik86 Amen
Shut up

What a great guy, love his slant on life , go do what you want, quite an inspirational video
This man is an inspiration to millions. Take notes.
+Workin0nit Clever.
white people LOVE this shit, a millionaire chooses to live in a van and white people automatically classify him as a likable trustworthy Guy, no if ands or buts.... white people logic.
Get your racial bigotry out of here.
+i like my women and subs 6&12 cool troll bro
Lmao how.
here's a guy who's got his act together. Here's a guy who's got it all figured out. Here's someone who has the answer.
Hahahahaha!

We're also hiring at Bubble Gump Company

Forrest gump when he was running. "I just felt like running."
Here's a guy who is single
True definition of Humble!!!! 👍🏽😎
I admire him very much. Very humble we need more people like that in this world.
What an inspiring guy. I'm not a sports fan, but after reading his article on ESPN, I'm now a Daniel Norris fan and I wish him the best. I have a feeling that no matter how the majors turn out for him, he's going to be just fine in life.
I'm so sad that he has cancer... Praying for him 😞
+Frank Glaser He doesn't have cancer anymore. He got it taken care of. He's "A Ok" buddy buddy...
Nice, great for him 👍🏼
he likes his freedom. thats truly an inspirational.
+semjb He's a sheep.
+Matt G. Busting your ass 40+ hours without overtime pay to make that mortgage and lease payments on that 3 series while saving up 300k for your 2.5 kids' college funds who's not even born yet meanwhile deciding between pre-tax roth-IRA or 401k to make the tax bracket is being a sheep.
He's has more freedom than anyone I know.
Yikes. You sound bitter.
+Matt G. OH THE IRONY
+Ur Papa Freedom isn't everything, otherwise most of us would be hermits. I don't think he does it for freedom as such... its the lifestyle that appeals to him.
And this guy is in the big leagues with the tigers now.. just had a decent 2020 after a tough 2019. Good for him.
Thats what you call a good ole American boy!!! I love this guy. So humbled.
Wish I had this dudes motivation and attitude.
me too.
The arm wouldn't hurt either ;)
What motivation? to not spend money and to live cheap. that's not motivation, that's just using your brain.
And money
laxfan727 seek to be like Jesus Christ, for he alone is perfect
Dude.. this .. this guy right here is living !
Razvan T how?
Nick,
however the hell he wants
Adrian Nakic I don't disagree, I just would like the concept explained
It's kinda self explanatory. But I will break it down a little bit : First of all he's young, he's a successful athlete, has allot of money but he's not interested in buying a big mansion, expensive cars, going to clubs and paying 500 bucks for a bottle of wine and so on. He lives in a van, he goes surfing. He's living the moment and he's not tied down to something material. Being able to afford this, for me at least, it's much more awesome than living in luxury. He could retire anytime and continue living like this.. he's life won't change a bit.
Coming into this I was expecting to wanna clown on this dude but honestly after watching it I respect tf outta this dude
Talking bout him driving past something and stopping to check it out is some shit I wanna start doing
I’m a truck driver I feel him when he saw he passes something interesting. I hate when that happen and I can’t stop fast or turn around smh
He live in a van down by the river! LOL
FPVREVIEWS *lives(no grammar Nazi)
big maan in a liittle van
He's going to have a ridiculous amount of money saved up when he retires.
I don't think that's what he cares about tho...
Not really he chooses a lazy life because it's stress free. He doesn't do any endorsements probably because he's lazy. Endorsements make a lot of money the players that actually are business minded will make more money.
+NYC Brownman lazy is the wrong word. He just chooses to live a carefree lifestyle.
+NYC Brownian Yeah that sounds about right. No responsibilities, nowhere else to be. It's actually quite funny because I also consider myself to live a fairly "care free" lifestyle, in other words sometimes i'm just lazy and don't feel like doing anything, but I still go to the gym everyday and go to work 5 days a week. Still lazy, but still have drive for other things.
+Pj Babbitt Lol, you're not lazy, brother.
Being carefree, and being lazy are two entirely different thing's.
A little update If anyone’s wondering: in the last 4 years his contracts have totaled over 6 million dollars he’s still doing very well playing for the tigers. Last contract was 1 year 3.5 million dollars.
But he has a 5.74 era. Not great.
It's refreshing to see someone enjoying and promoting a more humble style of living, and that success hasn't changed him.
So many times I see people complaining about their life, their circumstances, etc, etc, etc...and yet they don't see or understand the opportunities before them.
True freedom comes from shedding old habits and thoughts, humbling yourself to just your needs, and living closer to nature.
This man is living a new day everyday, instead of being stuck in a repetitive typical lifestyle that so many grow tired of.
I'm kind of surprised (because of his success) that he hasn't bought a winnebago with a full bathroom and a bit more space and comfort, but I respect him more for sticking with the van.
He was raised with good values. He listened to what his parents said. He is living a good life doing what he loves to do exploring, coaching, surfing and anything else he wants to do for a few dollars a day.
What are you talking about? He makes millions of dollars a year as a professional athlete.
This is how this works. While all his teammates are driving porsches and new ferrari’s each year, this kid is stacking his money and putting it up. When his career and all his teammates careers are up, while everyone else is filing bankruptcy, taxes, divorces etc..this guy will be sitting very nice with money to last him and his kids lifetime…For his teammates, laugh now, cry later.
+Don Johnson
Well truth be told, he probably couldn't buy a Porsche right now even if he wanted to. Isn't he still just a minor league prospect?
If he gets to the major leagues I doubt he'd still be living this way. He probably won't go nuts, but I could see him getting a decently nice house...
"Daniel Norris signed a bonus worth just over $2 million to join the
Blue Jays organization out of high school." Could def buy the Porsche
Yeah because you gotta live in a 1998 van half your life or else you're definitely gonna go broke, you're a genius.
Don Johnson he's not doing it to save money. He is doing it because he can appreciate the lifestyle, he just saves money in the process.
lol you sound dumb, thats not even the point of this video and i doubt his teammates that make 6-7 figures a yr are going bankrupt anytime soon
Very refreshing. Wish more folks were like you. Thanks for sharing.
Man he’s living so free! He’s also so
Happy it seems.
I come back and watch this video every now and then.
Really HUMBLE dude. This guy is a role model for our youth.
He's a simple guy,. Down to earth.
He has the DICE on his tires. I LIKE THIS DUDE ALREADY.
He has thyroid cancer. Dam that's so sad. The world is a cold place. Hopefully he beats it.
+joe momma are you serious??
Unfortunately I am.
+joe momma :( l hope he ll get better
+joe momma Well he beat it.
Soren Z. Good to hear.
I like basics...more and more as I get older. This guy seems pretty grounded. So more power to him. XO
Don Johnson ? Who me or him?
Sit on my face.
Got mad respect for anyone who knows the value of a dollar and still stays humble... never sell your soul, its what carries you till your final breath.. thank you for this
Much love and respect from Tennessee
A good friend of mine and his brother were both lifeguards and lived out of a van. Their parents were very wealthy but they simply surfed all day and slept all night.
They're both SEALs now. Actually they've been SEALs for over 5 years now.
Thats awesome doin what the love thats it nothing more
+TheActiveAssault of course they are. SEAL team 6 right
+Blake Grice he's only been in the teams a few years. He'll need more time before he's considered for DEVGRU. His bro who knows
TheActiveAssault is he married ?! am looking for a hubby like him we gona keep the money safe .😊
If he was in the NFL he would be called Ricky Williams
***** في هذا المجال
More like Pat Tilman
Smart guy and the way he stays grounded is great for an athlete .
Man keep doing what makes You happy and stay Blessed I been living on the streets for 8 years now and when its My time to come up in life Im sure Im going to be living the same way as this Man is...
Too bad you can't do this without having money in the first place. I'd love to buy a camper and travel, but unfortunately I have to make my money at the same place 5 days a week year round.
Phil Latio Well, there is such a thing as working online.
Phil Latio How does having a five day a week job prevent you from living in a van?
Phil Latio wtf no shit, that's why you save up. You can easily work while in high school at a shitty job like McDonalds. You act like his van cost 30,000$ dollars.
***** I'm not saying it's an expensive way to live, obviously it's just the opposite. But if something doesn't work out or a disaster hits, he has a lot of money to fall back on. At any time he could buy a house or rent a hotel if he gets in an accident. It's a stress-free way of living because he has that cushion. It applies more to what I said about traveling though. I'd either have to save an enormous amount or find a way to make money on the move.
Phil Latio bust your ass off for like...6 months. save up. buy van/build it up, hit the road.
Such a cool dude, living a humble and free spirited life.
He is very clear baseball in his mind . He is sane and so down to earth ! Rarity.
Daniel is truly living a different life than many, many of us........ PLUS, he sez words like "dang it".... A word I have not incorporated into my much, much, much more "expressive" vernacular.......(please, no Derby references)
Fr tho the reason he lives in the van away from the team is cuz he be getting baked every night
NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND PRAYERS TO THIS MAN!
The paint job is so perfect
This is one athlete that won't go broke. This is brilliant and I hope he has a bright future for a long time in the game.
There's plenty of athletes that don't go broke and None of them live in a cramped van
because I live in a van down by the river!
Is that a song or something?
+Tommy Ashworth No. Chris Farley, Saturday Night Live skit. R.I.P.
+Adam Long I hope Norris has parked his van by a river at least one time so he could use that line XD
+Tommy Ashworth yes, neil young
*smokes weed once*
I remember my first blunt....
Hahahahhahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
LOLLLLL
Я тоже хочу так жить
Ive lived like this for a couple years and i can say first hand it is a liberating lifestyle...his personality reflects how free this life really is...he is richer than most athletes..
Ive followed this guy on insta for years and admire his simplicity in the pro-ball world.
"He lives in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER"
