24 Hours in Dubai

What's up guys, welcome back to Views. We are back. Jason and I are reunited.

Oh my God, reunited and it feels so good.

How'd it feel being without me?

Oh my God, it was so lonely.

Really?

Yeah.

Do you realize what you don't have when I'm gone, really.

Yeah, yeah, you realize that you don't have—

You realize that I am 85% of your life.

Yeah.

Maybe 95.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. You realize that there's no screaming, there's no yelling. At first you're like, this is kind of nice. But now— And then later you're like, oh damn, there's no screaming or yelling.

Yeah, the screams, they fill voids.

Yeah.

And that's why I'm here.

They filled my screams.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So then you started screaming.

Yeah.

Because I wasn't here. Yeah, well, I'm glad to be back. Jason, you look good. Jason's had a little vacation from the pod.

Yeah.

Wow, you haven't potted in how long?

It's been a week.

Oh, it's not even that long.

Really?

Just a week.

Oh, good pods though.

Have you— yeah, have you enjoyed the pods more without you on them?

Yeah, I think they're a lot better without me. I think, I think so. I was, I was loving it. I was loving Ilya. I was loving Ferris.

Oh, we got really lucky. We got Ferris on.

Yeah, and he would never do it.

Ferris would sit in a lot of times when we do pods, or at least sit in room and be like, Ferris, get in here. And he'd be like, no, no, David, I can't. And he's always like, I have nothing to say.

I don't want to ruin it.

I don't want to ruin it. I'm just like, I don't know, like, what does he think? Like, does he think we're just going to be like, okay, Ferris, let's hear your top 5 best jokes? Like, you just fucking sit there.

It's also funny how people are, people are always the same way. They're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't. Come on.

And then they do it.

And then, yeah. And then by the end, they're like, they're rolling.

I don't think people understand like what it is.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's like, take me for example. I don't want to do the pod at all, ever. But then when I'm here, I'm like, hey, this isn't so bad. I'm like the number one example of it. So I feel like for the last 2 months we've been talking about this trip. Yeah, the Sydney, Philippines.

Yeah.

And tell me about it.

I didn't watch anything on Instagram. And what happened? How was the Philippines?

Well, I have to apologize.

Okay.

Because there won't be a vlog coming this week.

No.

No.

Why?

I just don't have time.

What were you busy doing?

It's just a new excuse I'm going to start using when I just want to push it a week. I'm just going to go, I don't really want to do it this week. No, I do have time. Well, here's the thing. I'd have to edit it now.

Yeah.

And I leave tomorrow again.

Oh, you're going away again?

Yeah.

Where are you going?

I leave for Madrid. Who are you? Which sounds like I'm kidding.

Who are you?

Sounds like a joke.

Oh my God, I was so excited because Natalie was like, Natalie said you were back and I was like, oh cool, he's back early. We'll be able to do the pods this week.

Yeah, yeah, no, we're gonna have to do another pod tomorrow right before my flight. My flight's at 6 PM.

What are you doing in Madrid?

I'm going just for work.

For what?

What brand? Work stuff.

What brand?

Huh?

What brand?

It's a brand that doesn't exist yet that I'm meeting with.

Oh, you guys are creating the new Prime?

It's like meetings. It's like meetings.

Oh, meetings about maybe working with a brand.

Well, let's just say It rhymes. It rhymes with sushi. No, no, it's not.

It rhymes. It's, uh, no.

Yeah, I'm going to Madrid.

You're doing something for Always Maxi Pads, or?

Yeah, it's a new brand. I'm going to be the first male spokesperson for tampons.

You'd be the guy.

I would be.

You are the guy that could do that.

100%.

And that's not even a fucking diss on you.

No.

Because I feel like when you talk, Girls are like, oh, David's got a side.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, I want to hear what he has to say about, like, and you always take our reproductive organs. Yeah.

You always take the woman's side in an argument.

I am really good at taking the woman's side.

Always take the woman's side.

Especially when it comes to bleeding.

Which probably is just, I think, a way for you to try to get laid. But let's keep going.

Well, that's a really good idea. I should definitely be a spokesperson for tampons.

I like that.

Yeah. That's really funny.

But that's not how you're meeting with.

That's really funny because, you know, it's all about how, like, representation matters. It'd be really funny if I took the one spot that was definitely a woman's job. Did you see the new tampons box? Where's David?

Um, no, it's gonna be either Caitlin Clark or David Dobrik. Who do we go with here?

Well, um, so yeah, I'm back on Sunday, but okay, so that's why I, I, I—

is Nat going with you?

Huh?

Nat going?

I'm going solo.

So I saw one post actually that you were alone in Dubai. And I love that declaration.

Yeah.

And I love how codependent you are with Natalie. That was like a big deal.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I'm alone in Dubai.

It was a really big deal because we got hired to do a talk in Dubai. Yeah. And it was supposed to be— the topic of the talk was working for your best friend. Oh, so it was very Natalie and David. So I was like, okay, we can do this. So easy. I won't even have to be nervous because Natalie will do so much of the talking. I'll chime in, make fun of her.

Yeah.

Call it a day.

Yeah, easy.

But then we got there. We went out to dinner with our friends the day before in Dubai. I've just now realized I'm starting to have, like, international friends, which is really cool. I didn't have them before. Yeah, I was kind of telling them too. I was like, you guys are my international friends. Like, shout out Tanya. Tanya's one of them. Tanya says—

shout out Waleed.

Shout out Tanya. Tanya's one especially that I see a lot of places. Okay. She says she has our notifications on for our pod.

Okay.

She says she's turned them on. She's only listened to about 2 of them. Okay. Honestly, I don't think she's listened to one of them. I think she was just being nice.

Sure.

But Tanya, this is a test to see if she's actually— she may be listening. Tanya, please text me if you listen to this. Anyway, Tanya is a person that like—

Ding!

Tanya, I've only seen like really outside of the country.

Okay.

I've seen her in like 7 different countries. Where's she from? She's from India. She showed us around India. You've met her, Tanya, no?

No, I didn't go to India.

It's going to ring a bell. The nighttime was it, you know, Tanya.

If you say Tanya enough, it starts to sound weird. That's one of those words. Tanya, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya.

But yeah, I'm starting to like see people like internationally. It's really cool.

That's fun.

And the best part was Tanya has a house there in Dubai and like, I just want to go like sit on the couch there with like our other friends.

Yeah.

And sitting on a couch in somebody's home in a different country. Oh, the best fucking insane.

Insane.

It's like you're not traveling.

Yeah.

Like all your like travel thing, like, and I'm talking like a well like a well-furnished home that feels like a home. I'm not saying like an Airbnb, like no carpet under the, under the couch.

Do you have any snacks or?

Yeah, snacks. I ordered food.

Oh yeah. Watch TV?

Um, didn't watch TV, but there wasn't even need for it.

Was there chatter?

So much chatter.

Oh, what were you talking about?

Well, first I ordered food from Oporto's, I think. And I kind of, I was like, it's like a chicken place.

Okay.

So first we were talking about the food.

Okay.

And then they wanted to try the wavers. We're in Dubai now. So, okay. So we ordered the wavers to the house and I filmed them and I was like, I'm posting this on close friends, I told them. So like, I want you to look me dead in the eyes and tell me that this is disgusting if you don't like them. And they're like, of course they hit me with the, listen, David, I'm gonna be honest with you no matter what. So our friend Mimi was there and she told her boyfriend, she was like, tell him, tell him, tell him that I'm honest with everything. And he's like, she's really honest. So I'm like, great, okay, I've heard this talk before. And then of course they try the chips and they're like, I'm not kidding. These are wonderful. That's why I hate— I hate— I hate giving pro— I hate trying to—

What do you think of them?

I love them.

Okay.

Yeah, but it's just like— but I know it's not possible because even the thing I hold to the highest standard is McDonald's, right? I've talked about this before.

Right.

I love McDonald's, but there's people in the world that don't like McDonald's.

Yes, there is.

So there's no reason that everybody I've encountered should like my chips. Right? There has to be some people that it's just not their style.

It's—

and no matter how many times I—

How can you tell somebody that their product is no good? No one's gonna say that. No one.

No, I know.

And if you do, you're a fucking asshole.

You're arguing the same side as me.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No one's gonna say that.

So that's why I like—

But also, on what level would you say that they're bad? You would never— you would never—

No, it's not really possible for those chips to be bad.

Yeah, they're not possible. They're good. They're chips.

Yeah, yeah, they're chips.

Yeah.

Yeah, but it's just like, I just get tired. I just get like, I get tired of people coming to blow smoke up my ass about them.

But why don't you just compartmentalize it and be like, yeah, the chips, uh, you like them? Oh cool, you like them. You don't like them. I don't know, right? Why can't you just—

I don't know why I'm like that about these chips.

It's the only thing you're about. You're, you're, you're so passionate about everything. You like your videos. You're like, no, I love these videos.

No, because I, because I think people that come to the videos actually do enjoy them, and I think like people that come to the Chip's are faking it? No, because I think everyone— I don't know, I don't know, dude. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I just like— because like you'll see like on the internet, right? You'll be like, you'll be like, Dobrik's pizza sucks. Like someone will say that.

Yeah.

And like, whatever, you're just saying that because it's, it's either an influencer pizza or my pizza, whatever. Like you just like, you just don't like the idea of the pizza, right? Because genuinely, in my heart of hearts, if you— if I was to white label my pizza place and fucking open a new spot down the street called Frank Maselli's or some fucking really cool Italian spot. I fucking know it. I know that it would be on TikTok the next day being like the newest hot— and I'd cut it into different pieces. I'd do square pieces instead of triangles. People would go, the hottest spot just opened. They import the water straight from Italy.

We should Nathan Fielder that.

It's all— we should do that. I know that shit exists. So I think that's a two-way street. So I just like, I don't take anybody's word, whether it's good or bad.

Right.

I cannot take it for food. Well, let's say for some reason—

let's look at it this way. Like, Prime is a little too sweet for me. But if I was sitting across from Logan Paul and KSI, I'd be like, this is great. But it's like, it's a little too sweet for me, but I'm not going to tell them that. You know what I mean?

That's fair.

You know, that's fair. It's tasty.

I'll say this about Jimmy's chocolate. MrBeast chocolate. Yeah, I actually really like it.

Jimmy Chalkut is good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's try to find one we don't like. We can't be mean on any of them? Okay. Okay. Okay. I got one. Ryan Trahan's candy.

It's delicious.

So good.

And I actually love Prime.

Yeah. It's not too sweet. It's actually the perfect amount of sweetness.

Sometimes it's a little sweet for me, but yeah. Well, yeah. I don't know. So then what? So you had a convo in Dubai. Well, you wanna back up and start?

No, I do it without Natalie.

Okay, I thought Natalie Quint.

Oh yeah, yeah. So Natalie, we went out to eat before. Oh, this is when I got sidetracked here. I just really opened a new portal to a new world of conversation. Isn't that crazy? I was supposed to go this way. This is how it was supposed to go. We went out to dinner before, we all ate, and only one of us got food poisoning, and it was Natalie.

Oh no.

Yeah, we went back to the hotel, and she said an hour after she laid down, Everything started coming out of all sides. Mouth, nose, ears, ass.

What did she have, the chicken?

I don't know what she had, because we all had almost the exact— like, we all had shared plates. So like, maybe there was an item or two that one of us didn't touch, but we all definitely had— at least one of us had another thing that she had. So I almost imagined there was something in one of the pieces of ravioli when she just— there's like 7 ravioli. And everyone grabbed one and she probably just grabbed the wrong one. What a crazy thing.

Oh, Russian roulette.

Yeah, kind of crazy.

Russian ravioli.

So then she, she was out. She couldn't do the talk.

No, she couldn't do the talks. So I did the whole day by myself. Like, I went to go to the wavers thing. We have like a new waver set up in Candylicious. Oh, wow. It's in the Dubai Mall. Dubai is fucking insane.

Oh, Natalie must have been so upset. She loves wavers.

She does love wavers.

She loves going traveling, talking about wavers.

And then, yeah, and then the talk we had to like reformat. I brought on Samir instead. Okay. From Colin and Samir.

Yeah.

He was my Natalie, my comfort animal. Oh, and then the guy walked up to me. That, um, the guy's like, what's your dream? Yeah.

Do you—

have you ever seen that guy on TikTok?

No.

The British guy, he's like, what is your dream, sir?

I haven't seen it.

No, you've definitely seen it. Okay, let's do the same thing, and then I played his voice in a second.

Okay, what's your dream? He's a guy, instead of what do you do for a living, he asks what's your dream.

Yeah, but he's like British, and then he goes, he goes like— I'll do it with you. I go, what's your dream?

I have a TV show.

So why aren't we doing that right now?

And then you answer, I don't have the money.

Well, listen, listen to me right now. There are thousands of people watching this right now. I'm doing a bad British accent.

That's pretty good.

I truly think right now we can get you a TV show. And then he actually helps the people out.

Oh, wow.

But his voice is really cool.

He's a really good guy. Does it last like more than 30 seconds or does he work on it for like a month?

Oh, he cuts and then he beats the shit out of the person.

Oh, okay.

No, no, no. There's one specifically that he's actually working on right now.

Okay, what is it?

Like, it's actually the exact same thing. He wants to be an actor.

Okay.

So he's been following this guy, I think he said for like 6 months.

Oh, wow.

And he was asking me, he's like, how do I— do I do that into like parts on YouTube or do I just make one video?

Oh, you ran into him and you were talking shop.

Yeah. Well, he came up to me. Okay, so the Dubai conference was insane because it was all creators.

Great.

The Billion Summit. And you're walking through the lobby and it's like, it'll be like 7 different creators with 7 different questions. So it'll be like, How many likes? It'll be like, how many likes?

Oh no.

How many likes to do this with you?

How many?

One guy asked me, he's like, if he could watch soccer in my house. I'm like, fuck yeah, that's easy. And another guy asked me if he's asking 100 celebrities to do push-ups.

Oh wow.

And then another guy asked me— Did you do the push-ups? Yeah, it was just one push-up. Yeah, it was great. And then another guy asked me how many likes to be in a vlog or something, or a video, any kind of video. And I said 5 million. And then another guy asked me Uh, yeah, something along the lines of, uh, oh, he was shaking everyone's hand. He was shaking 100 celebrities' hands or something. But like, it was like, it was, it was really funny. This is my first time seeing like the new version of like a VidCon work. Cause that was never like that. That, that was never, that was never happening at VidCons where like everyone was making their own content. Everybody has their own shtick at this thing. It felt like a new age VidCon. It was really cool.

Oh wow.

And MrBeast is like the king there. So like, was he there? I didn't see— I didn't run into him, but like, you'll see like his like booth set up everywhere. He has like these like kindness stations. I have no idea what happens if you— I fucking— maybe he hands you money when you go to them. They're like all over. He's very present in Dubai.

Wow.

Like, it's like he is like making his mark to be like Walt Disney. Wow. Yeah.

They opened a theme park there, right?

I don't—

or is it in Saudi Arabia? I think—

is it in Riyadh?

Yeah. Did you see they opened— they have a Harry Potter hotel coming?

Yeah, so I've been— yeah, a lot of people have been sending me this.

Someone DM'd me, they said David spoke it into existence.

Yeah, which is really weird. I spoke it into existence and like within a week it was like announced. Um, that was really strange. Uh, it's Harry Potter themed, which kind of stresses me out.

Okay.

Because I don't think you can actually— I don't think it's Harry Potter branded.

Oh.

So like, I don't, I don't think it's like, you're welcome to Hogwarts. I think, I think it just looks like a wizarding school or a wizarding castle.

Oh, that's weird.

So yeah, I don't know. I hope it is full Harry Potter, but what I've been reading is that it's just like an inspired by thing.

Oh, oh, well, even better.

But yeah, that'd be sick. Yeah. So, and then—

Okay, so then you were in Dubai, you came back last night, you slept all day, and everyone got sick in Dubai? Everyone got sick in the Philippines.

Julia and John got sick in the Philippines and then now they got sick in Dubai. Yeah, I'm trying to avoid it. I should have just stayed in Dubai because the flight to Madrid would have been way shorter. Yeah, but like, one, we need to do the pod, right? So I need to come back. And then two, there's something about just seeing my house that just like gives me energy to go.

It's nice.

I mean, it's just so nice to be here, even though I only slept in the bed for two nights. Like, I'm ready to go again.

What happened in the Philippines?

What happened?

Yeah, how was that?

It was incredible.

It was?

Yeah, it was like— it's definitely a place I'm gonna like visit more often.

Really? What did you like about it?

Uh, it just felt like— it felt like an Adam Sandler movie. I kept describing it as that. Like, it felt like true getaway. Like how Adam Sandler makes Hawaii feel?

Yeah.

Is how it felt there.

So not like Bangkok in any way?

Uh, no, no, no. Manila had moments where it felt like the city felt— Manila felt like some Asian countries from what I saw. But then the other islands are— I really wasn't in too many parts of Manila. I was literally in one area and we just went around. We went out there one night. So I didn't see much. But yeah, around the islands felt very tropical and what you would want a tropical vacation to be like.

And how was the wedding?

Oh, wedding was incredible too. Wow.

It was?

I forgot we did that. Yeah, that was the next day after we went out. We were very hungover and the wedding was crazy because it was like— you would have loved it. Yeah, you would have had a blast because a lot of people— it's, um, I've— I don't know if this is Filipino culture or if this is like this, but it's probably— it was probably this specific wedding, for sure the specific wedding. But they have an announcer that like runs you through it.

Yeah.

And the announcer straight talking for like 4 hours.

Really?

Like, and it's like, okay, now time to play a game. And like the bride and groom don't give a moment to sit there.

Really?

Like, they go from one photo op to the next to the next, and they'll like take pictures with everyone right outside the venue. Then they'll take pictures with everyone at church, then outside the church. Oh my God. Then they'll take pictures with everyone at the dinner table. So like the tables will come up to sit next to them. It is—

Oh, you're working the whole time?

It's the whole time. But I think, I think for me, I was like, this is insane. Like if Natalie made me do even a percent of this, I'd be like, are you on fucking crack?

Yeah.

Like, what are we doing here? Right. But I think It's like a big moment where maybe they don't take as many pictures. And like when the whole family's together, especially in the Philippines, it's a really big deal. So they— so everyone seemed very down to do the photos, but it was crazy. It was.

But the bride and groom must be tired and they can't even enjoy themselves.

They were exhausted.

Yeah.

And there wasn't— there wasn't a moment where it was like from this time to this time, the DJ just plays music. Yeah, it kind of just ended. And then whoever wanted to stay and dance, we all stayed and danced. But that was like part of the wedding. It's really hard to explain.

Wow.

But it was really, really fun because like especially when you got— when you started to drink, um, the guys would come around, do trivia, and it'd be like, yeah, what kind of trivia? Well, it'd be like, dude, I can't believe I got stumped on one, which is crazy. It was, what two letters spell candy?

Two letters spell candy? N and D?

No, C and Y.

C and Y?

Yeah, C and Y candy, which is fucking bullshit because all the other ones— because I raised my hand because I was like, I was like, I want to play and I want to— because I know all my fucking— I know all of my like little riddles. I'm so good at them because, okay, that's all I do. Like when we get drunk and we're like all sitting on the couch, I'm like, let's pull up riddles. And I've gotten to the point where I like really know them. And there's one specifically that people love saying, and it's like, like, let me do— let me do it to you. So it's, so a plane crashes on the, on the border. Do you know where I'm going with this?

No.

A plane crashes on the border of Mexico. Okay. And the United States. Okay.

Okay.

There's 100 people on the plane. Yeah. 50 people get off after it crashes.

Yeah.

Okay. Then another 25. Yeah. Okay. Then another 20. Yeah. Okay. And then another 5.

Yeah.

And then 10 people get back on to check on, to see what's going on in the flight. Okay. Okay. And then 5 get off.

Okay.

And then 5 get off again.

Okay.

Okay. Okay. So where do you bury the survivors?

You don't bury survivors.

Yes, that's the answer.

Oh shit, I got it the last second.

That's really good. But when that question starts, I know that that question is happening when someone goes, a plane crashes on the border of— yeah, Natalie got that question and I was so jealous. I wanted to yell, you don't just— just the— you don't bury survivors.

David, please.

David, please, please stop for you. Um, so I participate in that just hoping I get that question, but I got that I was like, "Fuckin' dumb candy one!" And this 9-year-old behind me, literally she was 9 years old, she raised her hand and apparently she knew. I don't know if she was fed from another family member or she genuinely knew that answer.

Yeah?

Yeah, so I got beat on that. Oh, on the last pod, I don't know if you heard, but we talked about—

Ilya's, um, videos?

We talked about Ilya's videos, but we also talked about the dart idea being like a repetitive thing. Yeah. What's your opinion on it first?

I mean, I love that idea. That's great.

Are you like fucking priming me right now? Are you like waivers priming me?

No, no, I don't have any skin in the game. I mean, what's wrong with that idea?

Well, nothing, but I got like a very mixed response on that idea. This is kind of the general— this is one DM.

What did they say?

But okay, after listening to the last podcast, I feel the need to say this. Your dart videos are great, don't get me wrong. "but some of your best videos are you hanging around the house with your friends making jokes, doing pranks, keeping it simple. Think local and simple. You guys are hilarious. Let that shine. I feel as if the dart videos are nearing too close to just regular YouTube travel videos. We will be thrilled with whatever you decide to make. Keep up the great work.

Love you, brother." The problem with the dart video is—

I'll tell you the problem with the fucking staying here and doing things.

It's— it's, uh, Taylor orders food around 12 o'clock and then old Dave gets full and doesn't want to do anything.

It's just the comfort here is astounding.

Is that why you like to go places? Because you—

well, everybody, like, everybody's like— even Zane's like, let's shoot. And I'm like, damn. Zane will be like, let's go shoot more stuff. Do we get enough stuff? Should we go do something?

Right.

Yeah.

When you're here or when you're—

when you're traveling?

When you're traveling.

When you're traveling, it's like everyone's like, like, we want to make a fun video. And it feels very much like we're like the old VOG.

Yeah.

Like, it's just like— but here it's like people have lives here. Like, people have like—

I guess so. I don't—

You don't subscribe to that?

But like, I mean, like, I just— I don't think— I mean, I think you and Zane think alike in that you like, you go away and now you're like, well, there's nothing else to do. Let's shoot.

Maybe.

I don't have to do my podcast.

I also like, Jonah comes over here, right? Just to hang. Yeah. My instinct isn't—

To film?

To grab the camera.

I guess there is something about Like, I— But the best thing about the Sweden video wasn't the dart.

No, no, no, it was just the hanging out.

It was the hanging out, yeah.

Oh, but that's what I'm saying. I also think a lot of people that message me that feel that it's not the best idea maybe don't understand what packaging means.

Yes, exactly. The dart's not important.

The dart's not important.

It's just a method to get you somewhere.

It's also a method to describe a video for something. To be like—

Yes. The Dart series.

The Dart series. Like, have you watched— like, that sentence alone weighs a lot when you're talking about people's content. Have you seen his blank series?

Yes.

Like, it differentiates— it's not anything different from the vlog, but it gives it a different brand. So I don't think people are understanding that quite— it's still the vlog. It's still exactly the vlog, but it's like, it feels like this fresh take on it.

Have you thought about doing more longer videos? 'Cause I know you were thinking about that.

Uh, no, a little bit. I don't know. I'm still 50/50. I think my brain will start processing better when I get back from Madrid.

Right. I started daily vlogging.

Excuse me?

Yeah. I've done 14 days. January— today's the 14th? Today's the 13th. I have— 14th is ready for tomorrow.

You started daily vlogging?

Yes. I've done it every day for 14 days.

Wait, what?

Just as an exercise, just to be like, I gotta get out there and try and do something. And we've done it every day.

Bro, how do you have this much energy?

I don't know. I did pretty good in Sweden, right? I would say I had good energy.

Well, I don't— but I've never been like, Jason doesn't have good energy.

Well, sometimes I don't.

I'm just confused how you're doing daily.

Yeah, we were just— David and I just go out every day.

Wait, how are they doing?

Terrible.

Terrible?

Like, no, they're good. They're good. They're, they're, they're doing fine. Like, you know what's nice is just to see people like Come back? Yeah, just to see people like, oh, this is awesome, I love this. Like, that's great. We're getting like, you know, like 50 to 100 comments every video. One video got like 300 comments.

Damn, you really are doing this.

I'm doing it every day.

12, 11.

I'm gonna do it the whole year.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I'm gonna do it the whole year and I'm gonna see where it takes me. Like, I have to do— I was like, I can't just wait for my TV show, you know.

Wait, what happened, dude?

Well, it's— it's— it's—

wait, wait, I thought you got $100,000 per episode. I didn't. And then on TikTok, I just saw you post and you're like, if anybody's out there looking to fund a creative project, and I'm like, yep, I fucking knew it.

That's not what I said. I said I was interested to hear what other people— what their experiences were.

Oh, you wanted to see if other people got burned?

Yeah, yeah, we actually got another offer. Okay, we got two offers.

Okay, so—

but you know, these things—

do you have an offer right now that you could turn the key on? And you're good to go.

But you understand like that you have to get a contract, you have to— it goes back and forth. I mean, like, you know that the audience doesn't get that, but I understand. It's like, yes, we're doing it, and then it's like, okay, well, and they're, they're getting that deal together, an offer.

Okay, so it takes a long time. Is there one that's maybe in the works?

Yes, there's two.

Okay, so, and what's the next offer? Is it better?

Uh, I don't know. I don't know what either offer is.

I would say because they're made up and you haven't had enough time.

No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not making it up at all. But I mean, like, that, that, that's what it is. So I said, all right, I gotta do something. And I was like, I don't really like—

who's editing these daily vlogs?

Me and Naveen. And then if I can get enough, like, if I can get it, make, get enough money together, I'll hire someone every day. Yeah, but it's not hard. You go to iMovie and we just like just keep, you know.

What are you recording on, your phone?

Yeah, we do phone and we do—

we do these—

we do mics. The mics are great. So like, I can be like in, in a store, like whispering, whispering and talking and like— and I don't know.

Damn, you're daily vlogging the Big 2026? Yeah, that's impressive.

I mean, what else could it— what else would I do? I don't have anything else to do. I could do stand-up, but I won't make any money at stand-up for a while. So I was like, I gotta do this, and I'm doing it, and it's, it's fun.

Well, good for you.

It's good.

I'm not like, I'm not being like, that's stupid. I just cannot believe you have the wherewithal.

I don't have a choice. I have the wherewithal and I have nothing at all.

No, wow, that's even— The problem is not that I don't have the wherewithal, it's the fact that I have nothing at all. Oh dude, that is really funny.

Yeah.

We should say that for a vlog.

Yeah, that's really good.

That's a really funny joke.

Yeah.

Jason, how do you have the wherewithal to do all this? Well, the secret is actually nothing at all. Nothing at all. I don't need the money. Oh, that's really good. Okay.

I'm making $35 a video.

We're putting that— I'm writing that down. That's honestly one of the funniest jokes I've ever heard. You're making how much?

$35. You should go daily with me.

Okay. Yeah. I'll just go fucking kill myself.

It's so fun.

You're making $35 a video?

Yeah.

Okay, let me do the math here.

30 videos a week— a month.

So like $280 a month. $280 a week.

30 times 30 is $900. Yeah, 30 a video.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So $900 a month.

It's not bad. And that's just compounding, so it'll only go up.

And then maybe a brand deal. Today I heard maybe a brand deal.

So you'll probably end up making like $3,000, $4,000 a month. Yeah, and that'll compound and— that'd be great. Wow, that's crazy. But it's daily? Are you like taking out the camera at all times?

It's more like we're gonna go out and do something. So like we went to the art fair, we went to the Smorgasbord food festival, we went to a movie premiere. It's like, okay, we're gonna go do this. And it's good because it's like I'm not like harassing people or trying to get my friends in it. It's just me and Naveen. So it's like we're It's whatever we're doing. We cook today.

Why'd you say harassing people and you looked right at me? I didn't, I looked at the sky.

No, because I usually harass people.

Why'd you say I'm not dragging people to Sweden and look right at me?

No, I love, I love traveling and I love traveling with you. It's just like, it's, it's hard to make my own content when we're like working on your video. Like, I love working on your video.

But why do you say that? I sleep for like half the time. Um, like, you could easily go—

well, if I, if I did, if we were to travel again and I, and I bring Naveen, then it would be— that would be amazing. Because you're right, I— we could go out and do what we're doing.

It's like not a lot that I actually shoot. Like, I get pretty tired really easily. I like— if I get one successful bit, yeah, I like— I have this thing where I can't actually get more than two bits in a day. Like, my body won't allow me. My body will just be like, you have enough, you're going up, you're tired.

It's weird.

Yeah, yeah, I don't think I've ever died. I don't think I've ever had like a day that's like where I've gotten too much stuff. It's always like—

What about that day we were out in Sweden? You were in a helicopter, you were on a jet ski.

Yeah, but as we were shooting that, I didn't think we were getting anything.

Really?

Yeah, but then I don't know.

It was all good.

But it was, yeah, it was one of my favorite vlogs because it was like very chill.

Yeah.

But yeah, no, so we have some trips planned. We have, we're doing—

Going to Madrid.

Rio.

Nice, for what? Carnival?

For the vlog. No, after Carnival. I don't want to go during Carnival because I think it's just gonna be like a disaster. It's gonna be so messy.

Oh yeah, you said that.

It's gonna be like— I like when it's like when just the locals are out. Yeah, I don't like going to places when everyone from everywhere is flying into that specific moment. Doesn't feel like—

Yeah, is Brazil dangerous?

I mean, is Chicago dangerous?

One area is.

Yeah, one area is.

Right.

I mean, I don't know much, and this podcast could be clipped.

Do girls have big butts there?

Of course.

Oh, they do? That's not a rumor?

That's not a rumor.

It's not?

No, no, no.

Oh, interesting.

Uh, girls in Chicago have big butts? I'll fit right in. It's a woman. Um, so we're doing that, and then we're doing Cape Town.

Oh my god.

Which is gonna be really sick. I think that's like in May, and then in April I'm gonna do Hong Kong. I really like Hong Kong, and I want to make like a full package thing from it, because I think Hong Kong is like one of the most interesting Asian cities. You know, it's the only city on the 30? Yeah, on the 30. What is called— it's the only time zone that's on like a 30. Oh, oh, oh, like it'll be 12 here, but it'll be like 6:30 there.

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.

Really fucking strange. Yeah, that's why I want to go.

What is— you've been to Hong Kong?

I've been to Rio too, but I haven't been— I haven't made like videos about them.

Why? Why all this travel? I thought you were done traveling.

Well, I just like, I'm either going to make videos or I'm not, and I'm not going to make videos here. I just can't do it.

You can't?

No, because it just feels like it just feels like the same. I don't know. It doesn't. I don't like making— I don't love making videos here. It's just that's just all it is. It's just tougher. It really is tougher. It's like, it's like when we're all hanging out and going to get drinks or something, I don't want to be filming here like this is. This is now— I have now done this thing, which is Unfortunately, I've gotten comfortable here and I've now separated my work and play.

Yeah.

And my, my play is just genuinely being at home and I don't like to like—

Maybe it's time to move.

Ooh, why?

I don't know. If you don't like being in LA working.

No, I love being in LA living. Like I've just, I've made this my home now as a like, and like an adult home.

I see.

I don't know. You know, like when people come up to like, I, you know, like when people would be like, turn off the camera and have some fun. This has nothing to do with anything, but like, I hate when people say that. I hate when people say that.

One person has said that to you in your entire life.

I know, but it just got me thinking about it.

But it is one time. It is one of the— 6 years ago, someone said turn off the camera and have some fun, and that is stuck with you more than anything that's happened to you.

But I think it's just like the craziest thing ever.

It's like— they don't understand. They don't understand that you are having fun. Yeah, like, yeah, they don't understand that is your fun.

But I'm confused, like, does it look like work from the outside? Like, does it look like I'm slaving away at this video?

Yeah, would you tell LeBron to put the ball down and chill out and have some fun? He's having a blast out there.

Yeah, right? Thank you for comparing me to LeBron. Did you tell Michelangelo to put the brush down?

Hey, you know what really fires my gourd?

What? When people say "juge." I don't know people like that.

Even on TikTok, you never say that. They say zhuzh?

No.

They'll like take your hair. They're like, hey, let me zhuzh it up. Oh, I don't like that word.

Oh yeah, I don't love that. I've actually— I've heard that too.

Yeah.

You know what I realized I don't know the other— that I don't really know the other day?

What?

There's like legends in Hollywood that I don't actually know why they're legends. Okay, so maybe you can explain it to me.

Go.

Okay, I'm going to— I have 3 from the top of my head and it's just because they just came up on my like—

Okay.

Okay. I'm not here to offend anybody. And every time they're on screen and someone goes, who's that? My immediate reaction is always, are you stupid? Yeah, she's a legend.

Yes.

And I don't even know why, I just say it.

Yes.

Wanda Sykes.

Wanda Sykes, a legend in comedy?

Yeah, but like, she's a legend.

I, I don't, uh, no.

Yeah, like when people see her, they're like, that's fucking Wanda Sykes.

I don't know if, I don't know if I would say she's a legend.

I got a bigger one. Go. This is She's funny. This is next level legendary. Everybody—

I don't think Wanda Sykes would say she's a legend.

Okay, I got another one. Another one. Joe Pesci.

Kind of a legend.

I'm not arguing whether or not they are legends, but what does he do?

Well, he's just been in—

who is he?

He's been in a lot of Scorsese films and in some legendary films and some legendary parts that hold a lot of meaning.

Is he Blue Man Group? Not Blue Man Group. What? Who's the guys? The guys— what did you say? Who's the guys that have the sunglasses on in the middle of the night?

Phil Collins, In the Air Tonight, bro.

The guys with the sunglasses on in the middle of the night.

The guys with the sunglasses on, they're from Chicago. Cool Man Group. What the fuck are they called? I'm about to lose my mind. Joe Pesci's in it, I think, bro.

What did you eat over in Philippines? Did you get Natalie's food poisoning? What's going on?

Okay, okay, okay.

Blue Man Group? Is that the best? Slow down. Let's back up.

It's 12 o'clock. It's midnight. We have our sunglasses on. Cool. I'm gonna look it up and I'm gonna fucking cuss you out.

In Chicago?

Yes.

Are you talking about a movie?

A movie, dude.

Oh, a movie.

Chicago movie with guys in sunglasses.

Blues Brothers?

Blues Brothers? No! Dude, come on, how did you not know that?

You said Blue Man Group!

That's so close!

No, it's not!

Yes, it is!

It's one word, you said blue and blue!

And that's not Joe Pesci?

Yeah!

Oh, it's Dan Aykroyd. Oh, John Belushi. Another name.

Italian.

Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, Jay would say John Belushi is a legend.

Okay, next one. Queen Latifah. I loved her in that one movie. Where she's about to die and it's her, like, it's like her. She thinks she's about to die.

Yeah.

Lives her life to the fullest. The Holiday or something. I don't know. It's so fun.

Yeah. You think she's a legend?

For sure. She's a legend.

You think so?

Okay. When Queen Latifah is announced somewhere, it's like, I know. I'm like, oh my God.

So I guess to like, yeah, to make maybe the music community, she's a legend in the sense of she was like one of the first artists to do like rap that was female.

How are we not aligning on what our legends here? I don't know. Those three.

Additional white guy.

Those 3 are— those 3 that I listed are full-on legends in my opinion.

Yeah, you like Wanda Sykes.

Okay, let me give you another one.

You don't know Wanda Sykes.

No, but like, I know when she's on screen. Like, if Wanda Sykes asked to do my vlog, I'd be like, yo, Jason, Wanda Sykes just asked me to do my vlog. Yeah, I would think it's like a very huge deal.

Oh, okay. Okay. I didn't even think you knew who Wanda Sykes was.

No, I don't. That's the thing. I just know that she's a legend.

Okay. All right.

Give me one person. I'll tell you.

A legend?

Yeah.

A legend.

Julia Roberts.

A legend.

Why?

She's been in countless box office movies.

Okay, okay.

She's made so much money.

She's the Brad Pitt of actresses, right? Yeah.

Yeah, for a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She had a crazy run.

She's the— because I just saw she got a standing ovation at the Golden Globes. Yeah. And okay, crazy run. Definitely legend.

Yeah.

Okay, um, give me a male artist.

DiCaprio.

Well, yeah, legend.

The legend. Scorsese.

I actually don't think DiCaprio has like hit that status yet because he's not— I don't think he's old enough. I think he's like still in his— like he's still in his prime a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right. So like, I don't think he's like—

I guess, I guess that's—

he's obviously— people say he's the greatest actor of all time, but nobody like— like, I just feel like Queen Latifah has been doing it longer where it's like—

but they're probably the same age.

Really?

Yeah, I agree with you though.

Usually when you become a legend, you have to go further away from your prime.

Yeah, you got to be 70 years old to be a legend.

Yeah, usually. And I think Leo's still kind of cooking.

Yeah.

So, okay.

Did you see all the lip reading that he's faced with?

Yeah, it's really funny.

It's crazy.

Yeah. What's crazy is that he was talking like that.

Whatever. Just the fact that people will lip read you like the guy who goes out and then like someone can like say someone is saying what you're saying.

Well, on the Golden Globes website, the crazy part, I'm pretty sure you could— you could stare at any camera angle the entire time.

What do you mean? Oh, really? Oh, you can flip cameras?

Yeah. So really, you could sit on someone's table the entire time. Oh, no. Yeah.

You're kidding.

Yeah. So you're fully on camera no matter what. Oh, wow.

What a world.

Yeah. Wow. I think it's been like that for a couple of years.

Someone made this TikTok today. They were like, they were defending Leo. They were like, like, the reason you don't fucking know anything about this guy is he's an actor. He's the greatest actor of our generation. He doesn't want you to know anything about him. It was really good.

Oh, yeah. That was a really funny joke. Who said that?

Who?

Uh, there was the— it was the woman. Was it Nikki Glaser? Somebody—

yeah, Nikki Glaser. Yeah.

Somebody like went up and did a joke about him like dating 20-year-olds or something.

Yeah.

And she's like, I'm sorry, Leo. Like, I know that was cheap, but we don't know anything fucking about you. And then she quoted something. She's like, she's like, the only thing I know about you is from an interview you did in Teen Magazine 30 years ago. And she's like, do you still like pasta, pasta, and more pasta? And Leo goes, yup.

Did you see the category they had? Cinematic and Box Office. That was an award. Cinematic and Box Office Best.

Oh, interesting. So it's like—

Insiders won it. It's just like a weird category. It's like, well, which one is it? Is it—

That's really funny. So it's like, it's like an award for like, you did well, but your movie also was cheesy?

Yes. Yeah, it's a way— I guess, I guess if they just did box office, it'd be obvious who won. It would just be Right.

I think it's just like, yeah, it kind of makes sense, but I could see you putting a negative twist on it.

Oh, and we didn't win best podcast.

I saw that.

Yeah.

Who won it?

Amy Poehler.

Oh, Snoop Dogg announced that too, right?

I don't know.

I think Amy Poehler got it.

I'm not sure.

What's her podcast called?

Good Hang.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I saw that moment.

Did you see the—

That's bullshit. We got snubbed. That's bullshit.

Yeah, she does video though.

Do you think if we did video—

You think Go-Go Ghosts would nominate an audio podcast?

Do you think— what if we do one-year video and we do the entire theme is Golden Globes? Yeah, we just cater to them all year.

Yeah, each episode is each foreign press reporter that votes, because you know that's who votes. It's the Hollywood foreign press.

That's really the only people who vote. So each episode we schmooze, we bring on these people, we highlight them.

Yeah, well, that's what the movies do, you know. They'll bring the Hollywood foreign press in and they give them all these bags.

And so I'll let them use my sauna and pickleball court.

Yes, yes. And you'll probably get nominated. We'll probably get nominated.

Okay, so what's— let's brainstorm this. So we have a video podcast. Does it have to be Golden Globes themed? Or in every episode we have a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press? Are they all foreigners? Yeah. Nobody's first language is English?

Uh, some are. They could be from Europe, they could be from England, and their first— like, their first language is English.

That's interesting.

Okay. Yeah, you've just got to get—

all we have to do is get like 5 of them on, and I think it's going to snowball into something beautiful. Yeah.

You know what's really funny was we were at this movie premiere and we ended up talking to this guy who was like 85 years old, and he's done sound his whole life on movies. He's a really cool guy. And I asked him, I was like, oh, he's like, I'm in the Academy. I'm going to vote. And he's like, 85? And I was like, oh, are you going to vote for Timmy? Timothée Chalamet? Or are you going to vote for Leo, like for Best Actor? And he's like, Well, I don't know. I don't know much about Timmy, and I'm not sure— I hadn't seen Leo's movie yet either. Like, no idea. No idea.

It's funny.

Like, not— not— he doesn't watch TikTok, and he's voting. So like, you just don't know who's gonna win.

Timmy's gonna win. I have become a serious Timothée Chalamet stan.

Oh, he's the best.

In the last couple years.

He's the best.

He's really won me over.

Someone made the best point, which was if you watch the Bob Dylan movie and you watch the Marty Supreme movie, it's two completely different characters. Yeah, it's like, wow. And they're both great, but you're like, wow, I just like that he's funny. You like that he's funny?

Yeah, I think like funny is like, I think if you're a funny actor and you're a good actor, I think it's just like you're fucking, you're golden.

He did so much great press for the movie too. Oh yeah, yeah, he's working. Yeah, he's like, he's on top of the sphere, he's doing a prank Zoom call, he's like really trying.

He's doing it like they didn't used to have to do that. He's doing it like, like you should be doing it. Yeah, yeah. So shout out to him. You know what, it's fine that we didn't win as long as Timothy won.

Did you see the bit with, uh, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes?

No. Are they the podcasters?

Yeah, they came out and they were like And here they are, the hosts of Smartless, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, and a guy I didn't never really cared for, a guy who was never really my thing, Jason Bateman.

The announcer said that?

Yeah, the announcer said that. And so Bateman starts looking around like, what the fuck?

That's really funny.

And then the other guys are so good at comedy, they go right in. Sean Hayes is like deadpan. He's like, and the nominees are— and then Jason Bateman's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Did you hear that? And then Will Arnett's like, way to go. Make it about you, Jason. It was really good. That's really fucking killer.

Do you think it was scripted or they went off the cuff?

No, no, it was all scripted.

Oh, okay.

But they did it in a way that was like really fresh.

Wow. That's a really funny joke. I've never seen the announcer make a joke. Me neither. That's crazy.

But it was a very like vibey Golden Globes. Like they were even when now when people walk to the stage, an announcer comes on and like fills the space.

Really? Yeah. No, this Golden Globes felt like Old Hollywood. Did you not get that vibe? Uh, like, did you see— yeah, paparazzi outside of the chateau. No. Oh, like, people are getting paparazzi'd like it was like, like Paris Hilton back in the day. Really? Oh yeah, yeah, like, it felt like, it felt like Los— it was like Los Angeles was Los Angeles-ing, right? I didn't see anything of it because I was in Dubai, and then I landed and I was like catching up on everything. I was like, interesting, what the fuck happened here? It literally feels like Hollywood was like reawoken. I think you need more people like Timmy. I think that'd be so cool.

I was just going to say that. I think it is because Timmy had a movie. Young? We're calling him Timmy.

Young? Well, I think Timothy is— what's his real name? Timothy. Timothy? But we can call him Timmy. Timmy's fine.

I'm sure people call him Timmy.

Yeah, I think Timmy's the way to do it.

No?

Yeah. Timmy's so cute. I think he's very interesting because why I like him so much is because he doesn't— he is without an ego, but he is confident. Do you know what I mean? Like, he does both very well. Like, I know— yeah, like, you could tell that he's like, he knows that he's doing a good job and he's trying really hard. And I'm not even referencing his one interview where he said, I want to be the best, or whatever. I'm like, just like, his general, like, aura is like, he put— he's very down to earth, but he's also like, you could tell he's fucking driven. And a lot of actors, I feel like, nowadays, especially young ones, are one or the other. Are like either like too goofy or like just way too artistic where it just fucking annoys the living shit out of me.

Oh yeah.

Like, I think he does both really. He reminds me of like Natalie Portman. You know how Natalie Portman does classy really well, but she's also just like fucking like a goof, it seems like? Yeah. That's, I don't know, that's kind of the vibe he gives. I could be wrong. I could be blowing too much smoke up it, but I really like him. All right guys, that's all the time we have for today's pod. I got to go shower, get ready for tomorrow. And I'm off again. Well, actually, I'll do one more Pow Wow before I go.

What time do you leave tomorrow?

6 PM. Perfect. Thank you guys for joining us, listening to this podcast, and we'll see you for the next one.
