David Got Rejected

What's up guys, welcome back to Views. We are back. It has been the longest weekend of our lives.

Oh my God, oh my God, that's been a long, long time.

I won't talk about super big details because some will be in the vlog, but I have had a— I've had a long week.

Tell everybody, who cares?

Well, I won't say like what bits are in everything.

What would you do?

Wait, what did I do? Okay, so I made a decision to go to Miami Art Basel, which was crazy.

Wow.

So I went last second.

Incredible.

Um, very fun, very good vibes. I landed at 10 PM.

Okay.

And went straight from the airport to my hotel. They wouldn't let me get into my room.

Oh, so you couldn't even go around and choose your room like you like to do?

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, wait, you weren't there, were you?

No, but I got the phone call.

Even worse. It'd be better that if you were there. Yeah, getting the phone call is worse than being there.

I checked in and they said we need a credit card put on file. And I know this is going to sound stupid. Oh no, I don't travel with credit cards.

He doesn't have a wallet.

I don't have a wallet.

You stupid motherfucker. You went on a plane without Natalie without your credit cards.

Really dumb.

Unbelievable.

And I'm like, okay, They're like, no credit card. I'm like, can you just charge the one that we used to book the room? They're like, no, we can't. This woman was fucking cold. She's like a 60, 70-year-old woman. She was just cold. She's like, nope, sorry. I'm like, what do I do? She's fucking— I have my bags. I'm like, okay. And I'm not the one to give attitude to the workers. So I called Natalie. Yeah.

Fucking pissed.

I'm like, Natalie, what did you do, you motherfucker?

And he landed at like midnight too. And I got a phone call. He's like, I can't get into the hotel, blah, blah, blah. So I'm frantic because I don't know how. Where he's going to sleep. He's only there for like 8 hours.

And I didn't know— I didn't see anybody at the hotel that I knew, which would have been very easy if I ran into someone. I would have been like, can I just use your credit card? I'll PayPal you.

Yeah.

But so luckily, Natalie—

what, you booked it on Hotels.com or something?

No.

Why can't you book the room with a credit card?

I have no idea.

Well, he didn't have his—

I had Apple Pay. Oh, sorry, I forgot to say that. They wouldn't accept Apple Pay. They needed the physical card. So I have Apple Pay normally. That's how I pay for things and whatever. And then Natalie negotiated something on the phone. They're like, can you just pay with cash?

I kept telling him, I was like, I'm sorry, it's midnight. You know, like we're kind of out of options here. And I called other hotels. You need a physical credit card anywhere. So I was like, you have to stay at this hotel. Like you have to figure out a way for them to let you stay.

She's like, ask to speak to the supervisor.

I was like, you gotta go Karen on this bitch. You gotta ask for a manager.

And I'm like, I'm not fucking asking somebody to speak to their supervisor. Like that is the most insane fucking thing I've ever heard.

Why not? Why can't you do that? Why? Because of who you are. Well, you don't want to give that out.

100%, I can't do that.

Because of who you are, right? You don't want to come off— you don't want someone to have a story like, well, David Dobrik was fucking asked to see my supervisor.

Yeah, I mean, that's ridiculous.

That's funny.

I wasn't really concerned about that because this woman had no idea who I was. She was, like I said, she was an older woman. True. No idea. True. So that was like a concern of mine. I just like don't like uttering those words. Like, it's like the most cliché words.

Can I see your supervisor?

I did feel like that. But I think Natalie called and asked to see the supervisor over the phone. What did you do?

Oh, I called and I was just like, well, I don't want to give away my secrets, you know? But I called and I said a couple of things.

It's his last week on earth. He needs a room to stay at.

This guy's fucking stupid as hell. Please just let him in. He'll probably fucking die if you don't let him in the hotel.

He's my abusive ex-boyfriend. I had to get him a room. Please, he'll come back to the apartment if you don't let him stay there. Could you imagine if that's what Natalie said?

No, but then I just explained. She was a very nice, rational woman. And then she was like, okay, let me go up to the front. And see if we can just figure this out.

You know, whatever.

Long story short, they figured it out. They figured it out. Luckily, I had a stack of $10,000 because luckily I owed Steve Will Do It $10,000. I don't know if we— did we talk about this on the podcast?

Yeah, maybe he was.

Okay. There was one night he called me. We were in Florida. He called me and he's like, Dave, you want to bet against this? I'm watching this high school. I'm at a high school game right now.

Yes.

Do you want to bet against them? I have one of the teams and you bet against them. And yeah, however much you want to bet. And I was like, okay. And I feel when Steve calls about money, I kind of feel indebted to him because he's gotten me a Tesla. He's gotten me a brand new watch. Like, he's gotten me a lot of stuff. So I'm like, okay, like, I'll bet $10,000. And I lost that bet over the phone. And the winning high school team ended up getting like $100,000. He met the high school team. He said at a Chili's, and he gave each of the players $10,000.

Wow.

Yeah. Which was a big deal. And he said— I asked him, I was like, were the players really excited about the money? And he's like, no, they're more excited about the Chili's. Um, which is really funny. So anyway, so I had the money to repay Steve, so luckily I got to use some of the cash. So I used $1,000 to get the room. They let me upstairs. It was $1,000, which isn't a lot.

Cash?

Yeah. And then, um, and then she's like, but we're gonna have to take the minibar out of the room. And I was like, what do you— I feel like a fucking criminal. Like, what am I, some sort of looter? So I literally went— they came, the staff came up to my room.

Sorry, you can't have any of the real gold.

Yeah, the staff came up to my room, they took away all the stickers, the Milky Way, everything. Yeah, everything from They took away the actual— they took away the physical fridge and then the chips that would sit on top of the fridge. Oh my God, I thought it was so strange. I was like, first of all, you have $1,000 from me. The minibar does not add up to that. Like, just like keep the money from me.

What'd you do for snacks?

I ordered Taco Bell. Oh wow. So at 10— okay, so I landed at like 11 PM and then there was a car outside for me at 11:15. I used that to go to Yeah, 11:15 PM. So I used that to go to a party on a boat. Alex Earl was having this like Sit Marks thing, which is really great. Yeah, big fan of Sit Marks. I have a lot of friends that like work with her. And what is that? I love Alex. I love her friends.

What is it? Margarita company?

Yeah.

Oh, okay. Like a canned margarita.

Yeah, it was on this beautiful boat. And then what's so incredible about Miami is like after we were done with that boat, one of our friends had another boat and we got on his boat and then we went to like two different house parties with the boat.

That's fun.

It's fucking insane. So you're like tipsy, but you're like, you're not stuck in a car dizzy. You're like getting the most fresh air you possibly could when you're on this boat and you pull up to house parties through the backyard. Yeah, like it's so crazy. So we pull up, we dock at the house party.

That's fun.

And then we come in and then at the end of the night, which was like 4 a.m. for me, I Ubered home. From the front of the house.

So you did Miami with no money?

I did Miami with no money.

Pretty impressive. What were you wearing? Did you wear shorts?

Oh, I met a girl.

Yeah?

I met a girl, and this was fucking crazy. We were talking about our plans, and she turned out to be a stripper. Surprise, surprise.

Classic day.

Classic day.

Do you find them, or do they find you?

I think that they see a sucker when they— or they know a sucker when they see one.

Yeah, I thought she was genuinely into me.

What was her name?

I don't want to say her name. Starshine. I thought she was genuinely into me. And then she's like, oh, I have to go to work. I'm like, oh, okay. She was leaving at like 10, or when was it? Like 10 minutes past midnight.

Get the night shift at Kroger?

I think she was going to 11. She's also my favorite place. I should've just gone with her. But she's like, I have to go to work unless you don't want me to. Wink wink. Unless you don't want me to and you can pay me $2,500 for the night. Ooh, I was like, what the fuck just happened? I genuinely thought, boom, we hit it off for like 20 minutes.

That is kind of sad.

So I went back into the cash that I had for Steve.

Yeah, shut the fuck up.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh my God.

Wow.

Wow. I drew, I drew the line there. I can't ever do that. But it was kind of crazy, and I felt really bamboozled. Like, I felt really, really bamboozled, because it's one thing to prey on me in a strip club, because I am very soft when it comes to that kind of stuff. But for it to happen without me understanding that it's a stripper and like the intentions, that was fucking crazy to me.

Listen, I'm gonna say this gently. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Did she not give off stripper vibes or were you just kind of blinded?

No, Miami strippers aren't like strippers.

Right. That's what I'm getting at. Like, yeah, you can't tell they're strippers.

No, no, no, no, not at all. And like, I don't know, like when I think of stripper in my head, I think of Grand Theft Auto, the video game, and I think of strippers in the strip club there.

Sure.

Like very like Where's strippers? But Miami, for some reason, is like, you really don't know.

You could have just paid Steve $7,500. He would have understood. He probably would have been psyched for you.

He would have given me more money.

He would have paid you more.

He probably would have been happy for you.

There was funny—

I love what you're doing.

I'm editing a blooper video right now. One of the jokes, Steve is like, he got us a room at the hotel he's staying in. And I was like, thank you so much, Steve. And Steve's like, yep, all you have to do is fuck a hooker tonight and you're good. And I'm like, uh. It's really funny.

Dave, I got you a Christmas present.

What is it?

I got you tickets on SeatGeek to see Coldplay.

What?

Yeah, and guess what?

No.

I've arranged for you to be on the jumbotron.

Wait, I can't tell if you're being serious.

Making out with Natalie, and it's all thanks to SeatGeek.

I don't want my real girlfriend to know about this.

Okay.

But there are so many artists who just announced their tours, like Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Zara Larsson. Is it Zara Larsson? I've always wondered this.

Zara or Zara? It can be either.

Thank you, Ziggy. Anyway, okay, so then got home at like 4 or 5. Taco Bell came really late, so I went to bed around 6:37. And in the morning, I woke up to meet up with Steve at around 10:00 AM. So I slept very, very little. 10:00 AM to the airport. Steve was late to the airport by an hour and a half. He's on Steve time, obviously. I should have fucking known that. I was rushing to the airport. I was like texting him, I'm so sorry, I'm 6 minutes late. And he's like, dude, we're not leaving. My house for another hour. I was like, fuck, I'm so stupid for not like computing that. And then we got into the plane. Yeah, we flew to pick up Corinna in Orlando. So he flew his plane from Miami to Orlando, and then from Orlando we flew to North Carolina because he went to go pick up another friend. And then from North Carolina we flew to Vegas. It was 2 stops from Miami to Vegas. I was on that plane for like 9, 10 hours. And then I met Natalie Zane and our filmer Ferris in Vegas. In Vegas, at like what time?

Uh, like 10 PM, 9, 10.

Yeah, 9 or 10 PM. And then we went out at like what, 1? At like 1 in Vegas.

Oh my God.

And then we flew home with the Chainsmokers at about 5, 5 in the morning. And then I got, I got to my bed at like 6, but that's when the crew arrived here to set up a bit in the house.

Yeah.

So they already needed help setting up and letting in. And it was just like straight into—

That's a whirlwind.

It's been crazy.

I'm surprised you're awake.

It was a crazy 36 hours or 48, whatever.

What'd you do, Nat? Take a little rest while he was gone and then get ready for Vegas?

Yeah. I mean, the day that he went, the night he went to Miami, I went to bed. I got like a full 12 hours of sleep that night because I knew it was going to be like a crazy next 48 hours.

Nice.

I was so happy to send me off to Miami. Oh my God.

I was so happy. And I love Miami. Off. If he really tried a little harder, I probably would have gone, to be honest.

Yes, yes, yes. I did kind of feel that.

Yeah, yeah.

But I knew, like, I had to be responsible.

I have to move to Miami, by the way.

Wait, wait, when you were leaving for Miami, you could, you could sense it in that, like, she wanted a little invite, a little push? She had the itch.

What did she do?

I asked her and she didn't say no, so I was like, I could, if I wanted to, I could convince her.

Yeah.

But I was like, this is going to be such a miserable trip. Oh, we're so nice of you, Dave.

To spare her.

But I should have had her come. Why I should have had her come is for this reason, because I was filming with Steve, right? Steve is one of the funniest guys ever.

Sure.

But he doesn't know he's funny. So like when you're filming him, like when a lot of— when you're watching my vlog, most of the clips end in laughter, right? And that is not because I'm laughing at every clip. That's because I only choose the clips that I'm laughing.

But it was really difficult with Steve because Steve doesn't laugh. He says the craziest things, but he just says it under his breath.

Yeah, I've never seen him laugh.

No, he doesn't really laugh. But everything he says is fucking insane. You're like, I can't believe he just said that. He got into the funniest fight with his mom. But his mom is— it's like when you're watching a comedy on TV and no one's laughing, but it is funny. That is exactly what Steve is. And that's not what my vlog is. So I was like, I wish Natalie was here. There was someone to share in this laughter. To be like, what the fuck? Because he's really, really insane. He's a really funny guy. But yeah. And then we came back and now we're here. Oh, what I was saying, I really want to move to Miami. I want to make it—

I keep saying this to you. We should absolutely do it.

I just can't.

Why do you want to move there?

One, like taxes. Kind of a no-brainer, right? For taxes.

You really save that much?

You save at least 10% to 15%.

Yeah.

I guess when you're making as much as you are.

Yeah, it's a lot.

Well, you save 10% to 15% no matter how much you make.

Or make $100,000 a year.

That's still a relative 10 to 15%. What do you mean?

Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, but you live in California. You have the weather. You have— bro, the weather there, brother.

Jay, I love that weather.

Why is Tate shaking her head no? Let's go over to Miami.

Miami.

What'd she say?

She said, I don't know, Miami, Miami. That's not true. I really— I love the humidity. I like it when it's like a fucking sauna outside.

Oh, you like that?

That's what excites me. Yeah, that's what like gets me going. Yeah, and I'm sweating no matter what.

No, man.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

That balmy Florida.

I like it. Like going to the beach, you know?

Have you seen the Miami bugs?

Thank you, Tay. Good, good point.

That is the one thing that I won't do is Miami bugs. But have you seen the Miami girls?

I am a Miami girl.

There's no song about Miami girls. It's California girls.

True.

Will Smith has that.

Taylor's a Miami and a Cali girl.

Let's go.

Best of both worlds. Texas girl. Meow. And Texas.

I'm Miami, Texas, and California girl.

Oh, meow, meow, meow, meow. That's like 4 red flags.

It's like 4 red flags. That was 3.

Yeah, well, I don't know. I'm kind of down to figure out like a Miami situation if anybody wants to have it.

Okay, don't say that, because like I literally ask all the time.

If I was there, I would visit the nightclub Eleven too often.

I think you say that, but like you don't actually go all the time.

See, I was talking to some people there and they were— because every time I go, like, people are really convincing of, like, me moving there. And I've now started to, like, make my own friends there. And I'm actually, like, I actually really like some of the people there.

Yeah.

But yeah, a lot of them, it's 50/50 because a lot of every time I meet somebody, I'm like, I always say the same thing. I'm like, I don't want to end up going to 11:00, 3 days a week. And half of them say, well, you just get used to it. And then the other half say, like, you won't do that when you're here.

Oh, wow.

I feel like that's just you saying like, I'm not gonna go to Zouk 3 days a week while you're here.

Well, but I— Yeah. No, no, no.

Well, that's 2 different things, right?

No, no, no, no. Zouk at the club. Have you been to Eleven, Taylor?

Yes, I've been to Eleven.

7-Eleven?

7-Eleven.

But yeah.

All right, I got something to talk about.

Oh.

I posted my pilot.

Oh.

And you guys hated it and everyone liked it.

We didn't hate it.

Yes, you did. You hated it.

We didn't hate it.

Look at his smile from face.

I didn't hate it.

We had constructive criticism. There was no constructive criticism.

Wait, I sent you such a nice text.

You sent me a nice text.

What did people say about the pilot?

People really liked it. People loved it. I have 467 comments.

Wait, that's really good.

That's really good.

Is it?

467 comments?

467 comments?

Yeah, actually I have more, I think.

Wait, on Instagram or on YouTube?

No, on YouTube.

On the pilot.

Is it good?

Um, no, that is still—

no, it's really good.

The views are—

the views are not great, but it's just spam bots.

No, no, they're real people.

You need to get Amazon $50 gift card, 380 of those.

Guess— guess how many views it has?

Um, 140,000.

Okay, let's move on.

What, 140,000?

What? No, I'm not there yet.

Yeah.

Oh, okay, 75.

I'm not there yet.

50.

It's only been up for 2 days, Dave.

I would say 15 to 20.

I have 23,000. Yeah.

Oh yeah, that's pretty good.

It's fine.

But hold on, don't say it's fine like that. Now you're making me feel bad.

Well, you should feel bad. You should feel— Yeah, you overguessed me like I did with your TV.

That was not me overguessing because I get around like 1,500, 2,000 comments on like a 3 million viewed video. Right, I was doing the math there.

Oh, right.

Maybe those 23,000— like, that's crazy. The point is, comments to 23,000 views is like pretty fucking insane.

The point is, I showed it to you and you, you didn't like it.

That's not true.

And, and, and, you know, it's just like— and then I left here like, well, man, maybe it's not good. But it is good. I know it's good. And I'm getting calls and I have meetings set up with big comedy people. So there.

Okay. And And I'm supportive.

You're the executive producer. You should be fucking championing me.

Executive producer, that's a loose title.

I put your name on it. No, did you know how awkward that is? Like, you put your name on— like, we were doing the titles and I was like, the credits, and I was like, oh, we got to put Dave as executive producer. And they were like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was really nice. You really paid— like, the director's like, that's so nice.

Why do you think I didn't like it?

Because you sat on that couch and you fucking— you were sick to your stomach. I've never seen such a, such a horrible looking on someone's face.

You did. You need to work on your poker face.

You were awful.

You're the worst. And you didn't say a fucking thing, and you let Jon Castro go. Yeah, he let Jon Castro do all the dirty work. Jon Castro's like, oh, I don't know, Jay, it didn't make no sense to me. I, I was trying to find out. I was trying to understand what people were talking about. You should maybe try to make it so people can understand it more. And it's like, fuck you. And then even Alex is like, I didn't get it. I didn't like it. Like It's so fucking demoralizing to put your heart and soul into something and to be like, wow, this is my passion project, I'm finally getting to do it. And David had fucking allowed me to do it, which I'm so grateful of. And then I got over here, and this was a while ago, this was like 3 months ago, and it's been a bit of an elephant in the room. And I went over and I showed it to them on like a Saturday afternoon. Naveen was out of town. Naveen was like, I don't know, maybe she wasn't out of town, but she was like—

Bit of an elephant in the room is so funny.

And so then finally I was like, okay, I'm gonna screen it for these guys. And I said to Naveen before I left, I'm like, they're not gonna like it. She's like, what do you mean they're not gonna like it? This is your fucking passion project. This is the thing that you love like so much. It's so good. People have watched it, they like it. And then I fucking screened it here and it arrived fucking DOA in that room right there.

Dead on arrival.

Yeah.

Okay, so there's a lot to unpack here.

Okay, you go first.

No, you go first.

I mean, you didn't like it, that's okay.

Okay.

And what I've learned—

first—

and what I've learned is like comedy, it is subjective, right?

Okay. Yeah.

Like, it is.

Wait, how would you have wanted me to react?

Okay, like if you went out and you like made a movie and I watched it and I screened it, I'd be like, Dave, this was really good. This was really good. Like, I love this part. This was so good. Your acting was really good here. The writing was good. I did not like— I did not like this part. Like, I didn't get it.

It's just really tough because you showed us something that was finished. So it's like, I'm not going to be like, oh, I didn't like this, or I didn't like this.

No, I could go back and fix it. It wasn't finished.

It didn't really feel like it, right? Like, it didn't feel like there was like— I don't know. Regardless, I didn't hate it. I liked it.

You hated it.

I don't know. You're putting me in a tough spot.

You didn't like it either.

And I'll be honest with you.

You didn't like it. That's okay.

No, I didn't.

And I need to be stronger as a person to be like, okay, listen, listen, that's okay.

If you came to me, if you came to me and asked me to fund another project, Yeah, I would. I would.

Oh, that's nice.

I'd do it again.

Yeah, but that's just because you're so nice.

But it's also like, you have to be realistic. Like, oh, you know, the type of comedy or things that we enjoy watching are like, you know, there's like serious budget behind that. Like, you were putting that together with, you know, a couple thousand dollars or whatever it was you gave him. I don't remember, but like, $600,000.

I gave him $300,000.

Oh shit, never mind. I'll shut up. Like, you know, like, sure.

But can't you appreciate something that was made for only $6,000?

You're making it sound like we shat on you after it.

You didn't shat on me. You said nothing.

I know. And I felt really bad about it.

Oh, you did?

I did.

So then why didn't you call me and say something?

He's—

because how am I going to say, like, I didn't love it? Like, I don't know how to say that. I don't know how to say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I guess.

I mean, am I right?

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Like, yeah, I felt—

I'll actually back you up because I guess you said that. You said I didn't love it by not saying it. Like, I knew you didn't love it. I was like, oh, you didn't like it? I go up back to Navina. I was like, they hated it. She's like, what? They didn't like it? And I was like, no, they hated it. I was like, I told you. I fucking told you not to show it to them.

Huh.

Yeah.

This is so interesting.

It is so interesting.

But you also think it's good to have opinions across the board.

It is. It is. And I even felt—

I feel bad. You're making me feel bad. And I don't want to be the victim here.

You're gonna literally turn this and make it about you.

You're not the victim. I have 500 comments that say—

okay, good, good, good. I, I'm—

and a couple of them that agree with you, like a few.

I, I guess I should have been more vocal about like, uh, but it is not liking it a little bit.

So what is it? So you can't have a confrontation with somebody? Is that what it is?

Well, I think the challenging part was that it was the final edit. You made that clear when we watched it too. Like, I could have gone back and fixed it, but like, you could have fixed like the coloring. There wasn't— there was like no storyline editing could have been altered at that point, which I think was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, well, it's really hard.

I said this when I went to Noah Beck's movie premiere. Yeah, I said this on my Snap story or somewhere, or actually probably talked about it here. I was like, if I'm going to a friend's movie, yeah, like, you're gonna love that shit. I'm gonna love it.

Oh well, I guess I'm not your friend. No, but Noah Beck is your friend. Oh no, a dog. I love that shit.

No, no, that That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that like, like it's impossible to ever give, like for me to give a negative critique.

Except when it's you, Jason. Like look at me review.

Have you watched me on Snap review food?

Yeah.

There's moments I fucking, I eat stuff and I go, mm, mm, mm, and I fucking literally vomited it out later. Cause I just, cause there's a person behind that that created it. And like, I just feel really bad. And like, I don't know what to, I don't know what to say. It wasn't my cup of tea. Okay, Jay.

I hated it. Okay.

No, no, no, no. I mean, yeah, it wasn't my cup of tea, but like, why the fuck would I tell you that? Should I have not been quiet? Yes. Could I have found one rewarding thing that I liked about it?

I tried. You didn't like my acting. You didn't like any of the storylines. You didn't like any of the people that were in it. You didn't like the coloring. I thought, I thought it looked good. You could have said anything. You could have been like, oh, that's really—

Jay, if, if I said something about the color, you knew, you know that I would— if I said one positive thing you, you would have been able to tell just the same way than me not saying anything. Yeah, I feel like, Jay, the coloring and your acting was really good. Like, you'd be like, eat my ass.

Yeah, but what, but what it did was it took me in like a downward spiral. Okay, so for like 3 weeks where I was like, oh my God, this is trash. Oh, I'm sorry, this is trash. And so then I would like talk to the director and I'd be like, this is trash.

I'm so sorry.

No, no, it's not trash, it's good, it's good. And I'm like, no, it's not good. I'm like, we fucked up. Like, this is not good. My 2 best friends sat silently on the couch and a from the Philippines told me it was shit. You gotta fix, I don't know, Jay, more like tires, more like our office.

Jay, I was gonna say, I think—

I hated it too.

What did you think of the day?

I think some will like it.

I mean—

You know what, you got everybody drinking your Kool-Aid over here. That's crazy. That's not true. You haven't seen it.

I did, I was there.

Oh, you were there.

I also didn't say anything.

Oh, you were there that day?

I was. I didn't know what to say after. I was at a loss for words.

Taylor didn't like it either. You know what, Taylor? I thought for sure if you were there, you would have liked it.

No, but I was enjoying Jon's commentary, so I was just like, you know, Taylor didn't like it either.

Took the cake.

He just, you know, took it away with that.

Taylor didn't like it. David didn't like it. Natalie didn't like it. Jon didn't like it. Alex didn't like it.

Huh. This is so interesting.

There's no fucking way.

You know why? Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be brutally honest.

I know what you're gonna say.

Yeah, okay, go. And Alex hit it the best on the head.

Okay, go.

My roommate Alex. Alex goes, I am the biggest Jason Nash fan.

Yeah.

I think he's the funniest out of everybody, and I didn't like it.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

Sure.

I think that's what it was, because I think we know how, like, capable you are, right, of being— you're actually— you're very, very funny. And I've always said this about you, that you are like— you are one degree away from being a really good comedian. And I've always been so lucky that you failed at that. That, and I've gotten to film with you. Yeah, like, genuinely. And, and, and, and, sorry, Phil, that, that was like so— you know what I mean?

Keep him coming, man. I got a bottle of pills and a gun over here. No, no, sorry, sorry. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna unlist the video, guys. I'm unlisting the video.

Wait, what does that mean? Like, you're private?

I'm just taking it off. Yeah, I'm gonna private the video. Here goes the 22,000 views we had. Everything is fine, guys. It was up for a couple days.

Wait, that's crazy.

David I didn't like it. Sorry, go ahead, finish what you're saying.

No, but I, I always like pay you, like pay you a compliment that like I'm very lucky that I get to film with you because you're like so many levels above us in comedy. You're just really, really funny.

Oh, thanks.

And I think that's why—

and you guys didn't see that version of you, so we got—

I think we got thrown.

What don't you see about it? It's literally a guy, dude. I'm living my life. Like, I just don't understand.

I don't know. I don't know.

What did Alex—

Alex didn't get it. He didn't like it.

Should we bring him in?

Yeah, because I than screaming.

Okay, you're more funnier than just scream. I can't wait to bring Alex in. Wait, this is a conversation for everyone, guys.

If you want to go check out the pilot, you can. This is just— and you can leave a comment that David and Natalie did not like it. You can leave a comment there and just— everyone's entitled to their opinion. And I am not— I am not deleting bad comments on this. The next time you show me a vlog, Dave, I'm just gonna be like, okay, that's different. Why is it different?

Because you make them with me and you're making— you're like there making them.

But I wish you would make this with me.

I just like— I'm so not into that.

Why? Why aren't you into acting and like doing like a script?

Because I can't see—

even if you directed—

because I can't see a world where I make a good script or I make a good like show. So my brother, I don't like it.

It's where you should be. What, what, what are you talking about?

You sound— you literally sound like—

I saw the agent.

Yeah, you sound like an agent.

Hey man, you really got to get on the Hollywood train. Yeah, we've got meetings set up all over town, man.

You're the hot You need to advance yourself from the internet. You're more than that.

You are more than that. You're a star.

No, I'm just like, that's just not my world. Also, that's why it's really not my world to comment on whether what's good and what's not.

But why wouldn't you want to like direct something and like do something scripted? I think you'd be so good at it, and it's so fun.

I just don't think I'd be good at it. Like, if I had an idea, I would immediately jump on it.

I think he's just scared.

Oh, he's scared, right? I get it.

That makes sense.

Oh, he's a pussy. Okay.

There's an update on Natalie's guy that she likes.

Oh, what's the story?

She thinks he's a— what do you think?

Well, I had a little birdie tell me that he may or may not be a fuckboy.

And then I've been saying that he's obviously a fuckboy. And also, who cares that he's a fuckboy?

What's the definition of a fuckboy? Like, hard definition. Go.

See, I feel like my definition of a fuckboy is not just that you fuck. Like, I think there's like an attitude and persona that comes with it. You're like douchey. As well.

It's like, yeah, I think—

and he obviously, he obviously fucks. Like, that's without a doubt.

Okay, what about like a charming— okay, let's say Harry Styles. Yeah, having a lot of sex.

Yeah, like, is he a fuckboy?

I consider him very charming. Yeah, and I could— and I would assume that he hooks up with a lot of people.

Sure.

Was that considered a fuckboy?

I don't think so, no.

Okay, so if a guy is—

I see that. I see that.

If a guy is famous and really successful and then he can fuck as many people as he wants and not get the moniker of a fuckboy?

Well, I think a fuckboy is like, you're a fucking douche.

No, I think when I think fuckboy, I think it's a boy that's like gonna fuck you over, like doesn't give a shit about you. It's like you're like, you're rude, right? Oh, I don't, I don't consider it as somebody that like, a fuckboy is not just somebody that has a lot of sex. Like, I think that a fuckboy is somebody that's—

so having a lot of sex also doesn't necessarily mean that you're like so Scotch— is it Scott or Scotch? Scotch.

Scotch-free. Yeah.

So is it— so you're so Scotch-free of like not hurting girls by doing that, right? Like you could still be like a gentle love bombing fuckboy that like still like leads maybe girls on.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean? There's still like versions of that, that kind of fuckery to, to be going on with. So that's what you found out, that that's what your boy's like, because he is sweet.

But I also don't know if that's what he's like. This person doesn't know either. But there's a— this friend of mine, it was so funny. It was like midnight here, so it's like 3 AM in Miami, and I think they were staying at the same hotel, and he sent me a video of the guy that I have a crush on. Like, he just coincidentally happened to be in like the hotel valet somewhere at the same time as him.

Oh my God.

And sent me like— it's like sniped a video of him. Walking. He was with like 2 of my friends and then like some other girls.

Girls?

Yeah, all girls. All girls.

Yeah. The guy I know, did that hurt your heart?

No, no, not at all.

I mean, he's walking with a bunch of girls in Miami.

Yeah, he was walking like through the hotel. They're probably going back to like—

or something. No, no. Um, you guys live in such a strange time. No, you know, that's where you can like, you know, film somebody and send it to your friend and Like, used to be fucking— you do whatever the fuck you want. No one knew.

You made that sound like it's like so common, film someone and send it to your friend.

It is pretty common, Dave.

But what do you mean film someone and send it to your friend?

What are you talking about?

I think what's crazy—

what do you think I'm saying?

It's just like, it's like a very specific thing.

No wonder you didn't like my pilot. You're dumb. What are you talking about? I'm just saying, you know exactly, you know exactly what I'm saying.

After watching the pilot, I can't really—

oh my God.

Oh, another comment came in. Jason, you were born to do this. Fuck David and Natalie.

People are listening to this live.

Yeah, I'm live streaming this podcast, actually.

How are they leaving those comments?

We're at 23,000 views. There we go.

No, can I read some of the comments? Sure. This was really good, Jason. Congrats. The lighting's really nice. No way. Wait, that's really funny.

That's like, that's the first one you read.

That's really funny. Two days ago, six likes. Six likes. The lighting's really nice, period. Well, for me, like someone was actually trying to be— it's like, that's literally a comment that you would hear after the pod. That's really funny.

No, because they're reacting to like the quality of it on the channel is way higher quality than the vlogs or whatever I post.

Okay. Naveen stole the show. She killed it. Good stuff, G. This filming reminds me of the early HBO days. Like Entourage. I'm only 45 seconds in. I'm killing myself. No, I'm kidding. They said love it already. Yeah, these are great. Someone said incredible. Wow, this is really cool. Someone said I need 200 episodes of this. Is Naveen buying these comments?

No, she had that, like, good scene with the wind blowing in her hair.

Yeah, she had that good scene. And I know, I know too, like, a YouTube channel is like, you know, they— those people want me to win. Yeah. So what you have to do is, you know, make the next one better so it, like, you just get new people watching.

Wait, no, I mean, I will say the fact that you have so many comments is like, that means people are really engaged with that. 22,000 views and 460 comments is fucking crazy.

That's good.

So it's good. It's doing really well.

So we'll keep going.

Yeah, maybe you were right.

Maybe I'm right. Okay, David, are you ready? The Golden Globe list for best podcast came out.

Shut up.

What?

Yeah.

Oh my God.

And somebody was omitted.

Oh, okay, let me guess. Theo Von.

Theo Von did not make the pot. What?

Yeah, really?

Oh, that's okay. So that's bullshit. No, I'm not even a Theo Von listener.

Yes, guess, guess what I think he should be on there. Guess who got nominated.

Okay, here we go. Who I think is on it? Yeah, I don't actually know podcasters other than Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan was omitted from this list.

Really?

NPR.

Yes, yes. Up First from NPR. That's the show Up First, which is an NPR show.

What about Jay Shetty?

Jay Shetty? Not there. No, no, no.

Okay, so are these— they're not really people, it's like broadcasted channel types.

Think, think people in the—

oh, Dax Shepard.

Dax Shepard is there. Oh, very good, David.

Oh, okay, okay. Um, Ben Stiller.

Ben Stiller doesn't have a podcast.

Okay, I thought maybe he would. He seems like a guy that would.

Uh, we're talking to the wrong person about podcasts.

What's the podcast The three guys, Jason Bateman and—

Yes, Natalie nailing Smartless.

That's actually what I was trying to—

Very good, Natalie. Very good. That's two for Dave, one for Natalie.

What about Amy Poehler's podcast?

Oh, Natalie, it's 2-2.

Tina Fey's podcast?

No, Tina Fey does not have a podcast. Okay guys, you've— there are six nominations. Natalie has two, David has two. There's two more podcasts. Oh my God, who can get the last two?

I mean, it's called—

Natalie nailing it!

3-2. Call her daddy.

Call her daddy.

Wow, she's gonna win. If she wins a Golden Globe, that's why I can Crazy.

And there's no way you'll get the last one.

Okay. Okay. Is it a celebrity?

Yes, but only in the podcast world.

Oh, okay. First name. Give me first name.

Mel.

Oh, Mel Robbins.

Mel's Diner.

Oh, Natalie nailing it.

Mel who?

Mel Robbins.

Mel's Diner.

Mel Robbins.

It's the Mel's Diner podcast. Welcome back to the Mel's Diner podcast.

Fuck. No, you sure? Refresh it. No views podcast.

Okay, let me refresh it. Oh, wait a minute. There's a change. But the big story is that they're not doing right-wing podcasts.

And we're right-wing?

No.

Oh, brother.

That must be it.

Well, I guess we're right-wing. Goddamn it. That must be the only reason.

Okay, we can move on to Alex now.

All right, Al. Alex is here now. Thank you for joining us. Do you want to ask or should I ask?

Yeah, go ahead.

No, no, no, Jason should ask.

Okay, you didn't like my pilot.

Oh, no.

4,67 people like it on my channel. 22,000 views.

Good.

I mean, I think we're a tough audience.

Why didn't you like it?

Well, I mean, first of all, yeah, we're a tough audience because it's hard to take who I know out of it, right? I don't remember.

That was a while ago.

But do you think it's because you're stupid?

I have no sense of humor.

Taste.

Um, because that's what I think it is with Dave, because we loved it. Me and Natalie loved it.

Yeah, you were pranking me a month ago to set up for this.

He's looking at me like, what?

How many texts behind my back did you send? Boy, that was awful.

No, none.

None.

Okay, we said it out loud.

Uh, it was just one of those things where like it's already done, set in stone.

Like, no, I could—

this is what we said.

I could have fixed it. I could have gone back.

I think there's a lot to He didn't like it.

What didn't you like about it? No, this will help me because I'm not gonna stop. I'm gonna make another one. Okay, so, and also I have another concept I'm working on, so let me see if I can make it better.

What didn't you like?

Yeah, what didn't you like?

Dude, that was so long ago. I don't remember.

That's a good excuse. I should have used that one.

And even Taylor didn't like it. That one hurt the most.

I don't think that's Tay's humor.

She gave it 2 out of 10 meows. On the meow scale.

I give it 2 out of 10 DJ Scratch.

2 out of 10 DJ scratches. If you were— yeah, what you don't remember, just, you just didn't like it.

What did you like, Al?

Uh, I felt like the humor was—

I liked Gary.

Was that his name?

The neighbor?

You like the neighbor?

Okay.

Yeah, that's good.

That stuck with me for a month, so he must have been really damn good.

No, you— if you remember Gary, you fucking remember the whole fucking show.

Gary's a groundling. He's great. Elliott Schwartz, incredible.

Okay, good job, Elliott.

Good job, Elliott. What else?

I also think it's like, I just know you so well. I feel like this is like almost like a cop-out answer.

Though.

But like, it does feel like I just know you so much, so well, that I can't like take you out. I wonder how that is for like people that like date.

Well, you went to Noah Beck's movie and loved it.

I was blown away by his character. I was like, I don't know who this guy is. I was like, I don't know this guy. No, no, no, no, no. What?

Well, yeah, it's also— it's not just that knee-deep in Jay, but like it's in your house. Like it's just so many familiar things to Oh, that— like, I think it's— I think that's one thing it should have been.

Oh, somewhere else. Maybe that is it too.

It's in the house.

It's in the house. That's a good note. Good note.

Now, to piggyback what Alex said— yeah, off of what Alex said, I, I do feel like when I think of your house and I see like some— a video in your house— yeah, I do think of like your vlogs or like the old vlogs.

Oh, okay. All right, well then maybe that was a mistake to film there, but I didn't have any fucking money, Taylor. I was just kidding.

I thought David gave you some.

Not enough, apparently. Not enough to make a good pilot.

Not enough.

No, no, I'm kidding. All right, how about this? Everyone go and check out the pilot. Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear honest feedback, and we're gonna rate some of your reviews.

Yes, we'll read some of your—

we'll read some of your reviews. Go check out Jason Ash's channel. But Jay, we're really proud of you. I'm glad you you—

I mean, I'm glad we squashed the beef, you know. I'm glad it's all out there. It was, it was a little bit of like an elephant in the room.

How did this get brought up?

Well, Jason literally just said that there was an elephant in the room, and he was like, you think my, my pilot sucked? And I literally went, whoa, how did you not read that before? No, he did. He just—

oh, I read it. I got it loud and clear when I went home and cried for 2 weeks.

Make it obvious enough when we watch.

What took you a I feel like an asshole, dude.

You all should. Really? Yeah, you all should feel like assholes because the pilot's good.

Okay, good. I like this synergy. Good for you. It is good. I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Yeah, I just— I feel bad now, Jay.

Oh, Jay, Jay, don't feel bad.

I hope it does really well, and I support you.

Oh, Jay, don't feel bad. I was— I'm literally—

if I did something and you guys didn't like it, I would like— I would like to know before I put it out there.

Oh, believe me, we tell you every day.

That's actually interesting you bring that up. That up. Oh God, we've had this argument before. No, no, I don't have a thing. Okay, but what Jason is creating is very like personal, or it's very hard to do that. Like if you dress up and you're like wearing something, I don't like your outfit, that's easy as fuck. But Jason talked about this pilot and it was like a very important thing to him. It's very like— it's not— but even worse, TikTok, he showed me. No, he was so proud.

Yeah, this isn't—

I think he was so proud of something. I can give you like X, Y, and Z feedback and then you can fix it. It's like—

and it was like an— it was like an art. Like I don't think you have thing that you like. Like, you, you don't have like a creative job like that that like we would be able to critique you on.

I know, I love when you say this. I have no passion in life and I don't actually care about anything. It's very strange.

No, that's all I'm saying.

She makes your TikToks.

Um, yeah, I love my TikToks. No, but I'm saying like, even like, like if, if waivers sucked, I would want you guys to tell me, right? So that I could change the recipe and figure it out.

That's fair.

Like, that is— that's my passion is our fucking whatever.

Fuck you, David. It's, it's good. It's good for me to, to have this, you You know, it's good to have a bunch of people tell me no, because when I go again, like, I actually heard like your notes and I was like, oh, Natalie's right, like, it shouldn't be so safe. Like, let me try to make it like a little better in that regard.

Okay, take it out of the house is a good note. Next time you show me a pilot, yeah, just— it's easy, it's so easy. Yeah, just say deadass, what do you think? Just say deadass, don't say the this one, don't say this one because I just gave you the idea.

Okay.

But for the next one, I already know what you think. Just deadass me.

I'll deadass you.

Okay. And then you'll be good. If that's really truly what you want to hear.

Right.

Okay. And don't take my opinion or any of our opinion as gospel. We're just really close to you. And honestly, if anything, if anything, if this has proven anything, it's you should listen to us less if the comments are so positive.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So there's your lesson. All right, guys. Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Pod.

Thanks for everyone that joined us. Alex, Natalie, Jason, Ash, go listen, go watch the pilot, and we'll see you guys.

Everything is fine.

We'll see you later.
