I’m Davit — a one-legged Navy vet, DJ, magician, electrician, drummer, and grandpa who’s lived a life most people wouldn’t believe. Just Davit is where I tell the wildest, weirdest, and most unfiltered stories from a life packed with chaos, comedy, near-death moments, celebrity run-ins, and more. No scripts. No filters. Just real stories — sometimes hilarious, sometimes heavy, always honest. Whether I’m getting roasted by Travis Barker at Taco Bell, dodging fireballs on an aircraft carrier, or delivering wedding cakes with a broken leg and a bad attitude — this podcast is for anyone who loves a good story told straight, no chaser. 🎧 New episodes weekly. Subscribe for raw, ridiculous, and real storytelling from a guy who’s done it all... and still somehow lived to talk about it. #storytelling #veteranpodcast #funnylife #truestories #comedy #podcast
