What's up guys, welcome back to Views, the podcast where everybody here hates Jason.
Jason0:05Moment view
Is that what you're gonna say? Let me read your mind. Let's see, I know every podcast starts with an insult, so I'll try to read your mind. You start the sentence and I'll finish it.
David0:12Moment view
What's up guys, welcome back to Views.
Jason0:14Moment view
Jason is one of the best people to suck dick because all he does is suck dick. Was that it?
David0:19Moment view
It's pretty fucking close.
Jason0:20Moment view
Fuck yes, I got it!
David0:22Moment view
I rolled the intro music. This is The Views Podcast. I'm David, that's Jason. Yeah, Jason.
Jason0:35Moment view
We got it right.
David0:35Moment view
This is David, I'm 22, that's Jason, he's 46. I've been calling him 45, but I realized that he is actually in fact 46.
Jason0:41Moment view
And what is that, how do you feel about that? Does that make you happier that you can make fun of me more, or?
David0:45Moment view
No, 45 sounds like more. You know some numbers sound like more, like 7.
Jason0:51Moment view
Yeah.
David0:52Moment view
Every time I used to think about followers on Vine, I would be like, Oh, 7 million sounds more than 8 million. There's something about it. I don't know, maybe if it's like 2 syllables or I don't know what it is.
Jason1:02Moment view
I can maybe see that if you were a fucking idiot.
David1:07Moment view
Well, anyway, I just hosted the Teen Choice Awards. I co-hosted with Lucy Hale. I don't know how to properly say it. I don't know if I hosted, co-hosted. I don't know what I did, but I was fucking nervous, I'll tell you that. First off, I think it's crazy that that happened, right? Like, isn't that insane? Like, a year ago this time, we were doing something completely different.
Jason1:28Moment view
Yeah. And like 3 years ago, you were just making Vines, like barely just putting out like one Vine a week.
David1:33Moment view
Yeah.
Jason1:34Moment view
And you were just David, like goofy, walking around driving that white Mercedes.
David1:38Moment view
It's so crazy how that like happened.
Jason1:40Moment view
Like, I remember tickets—
David1:42Moment view
I got the call for like the Teen Choice Awards, and it was so casual. Like, like my agent just called me, he's like, you want to host the Teen Choice Awards? I was like, What?
Jason1:49Moment view
Yeah.
David1:49Moment view
Why aren't you here with 17 fucking cakes? This is a huge deal.
Jason1:53Moment view
And you deliberated on it. You weren't going to do it, remember?
David1:55Moment view
Yeah, I was. I was very nervous because I never, like, I've never actually hosted anything.
Jason2:00Moment view
Yeah.
David2:01Moment view
Which is, which is why I was like, I guess you haven't. Yeah. I've never hosted anything in my life and I've always, I want to be a host, right? I've never, I've never actually hosted anything. So this is the first thing I hosted. They gave me the Teen Choice Awards, which is great. I feel like if you're going to start anywhere, That's the place to start. Like, yeah, like a Teen Choice Award.
Jason2:19Moment view
Were there any reviews?
David2:21Moment view
I don't know. It's so tough because like I was done and everyone was like gassing me up. Like, you even came into my dressing room, you're like, David, I mean, listen, man, that was incredible.
Jason2:31Moment view
I'm like, I said, David, come in the dressing room. I'll talk to you for a second. Yeah, yeah, no cameras.
David2:35Moment view
What'd you think?
Jason2:36Moment view
I thought you did really, really good. Yeah, I thought like, I thought like like you looked a little nervous, but that was like really winning. It was like, oh cool, like this guy's kind of new and real. And, and then as it went on, you were great.
David2:55Moment view
Sure.
Jason2:57Moment view
Well, I just, I just thought it was really good. Like, I just enjoyed, thoroughly enjoyed you watching up there. Remember we met the head of Fox?
David3:03Moment view
Yeah, we met the head of Fox.
Jason3:05Moment view
He had his daughters with him. He was great. He's like, his name was Charlie, and he like wanted to say hello to us and stuff. And I was like, oh hey, how you doing? Like, the girl, his girls watch the vlog. And then David came off stage and he was like, I was like, you're gonna meet David? He's like, yeah, yeah, we want to say hello. And then David goes, uh, hey, he's like, I'm the head of Fox, I run everything. And David goes, David goes, oh, how am I doing? And he was like, really sweet guy. He was like, He was like, you're doing great. He's like, it's awesome. We're having the best time. Keep going.
David3:40Moment view
He was really nice.
Jason3:41Moment view
He was super nice.
David3:42Moment view
He didn't seem like he was out of focus. He literally— the way he was acting, it almost felt like he snuck backstage and he got his kids there.
Jason3:49Moment view
He was kind of giddy to be there.
David3:50Moment view
He was in such a good mood.
Jason3:51Moment view
But then you have to also understand, when you have kids, that's a big thing to be able to take your kids backstage.
David3:57Moment view
Oh, sure. Yeah, that's the best.
Jason3:58Moment view
Yeah.
David3:59Moment view
And to meet people that they want to meet. There's nothing better than that. I remember I was running around backstage because they needed me to get from one point to the next point.
Jason4:07Moment view
Yeah.
David4:07Moment view
And Natalie came up to me and she goes, Jack Black just tried high-fiving you, but you ran right by him. I go, what? And I watch a video back and it's literally Jack Black. He puts his hand up and he goes, Doby.
Jason4:19Moment view
And which no one calls you that.
David4:23Moment view
No one calls me Doby.
Jason4:24Moment view
But that's what Jack Black would call you.
David4:26Moment view
It didn't like register. So I think I just kept walking. Like I didn't hear him because I was literally sprinting around. And then like Natalie went up to Jack Black and was like, Should I go get him? And Jack Black was like, no, no, he's doing a bit. He'll be right back. He'll be right back. His hand was still in the air waiting for me to come back. And then Natalie's like, no, no, I genuinely think he didn't see you. And then Natalie came and got me and she was like, yeah, Jack Black, you just missed his high five. I was like, oh fuck. So I ran back and dude, he was the sweetest. Did you get to talk to him?
Jason4:53Moment view
No, I didn't get to talk to him.
David4:55Moment view
Oh my God.
Jason4:55Moment view
I was too scared to talk to him.
David4:56Moment view
Did you see him?
Jason4:57Moment view
I saw him. I saw your conversation, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.
David4:59Moment view
He was the nicest.
Jason5:00Moment view
What'd he say?
David5:01Moment view
I don't even remember. He was just so— I hugged him like 3, 4 times because he was like— I remember this, like, I was like, I just liked hugging him because he had like the best energy. Yeah, he was just such a—
Jason5:10Moment view
like, he's known for being like the nicest guy.
David5:12Moment view
Yeah, it was crazy.
Jason5:13Moment view
Did you ever hear the story of Peter Jackson? He was producing King Kong. No, it was like a big movie. Like, he just came off Lord of the Rings, and they were— he was like eyeing Jack Black to maybe have this big role as the trainer. So he was on the red carpet, and he was eavesdropping on Jack Black the entire night. And apparently just to see if Jack Black was an asshole or not. And Jack Black was the nicest guy he ever heard. And then the next day he cast Jack Black in this huge part.
David5:38Moment view
Oh really?
Jason5:39Moment view
Yeah, because he knew he could do the part, but he just wanted to make sure he was like nice. This is a great story.
David5:44Moment view
No, he's, he's probably a better one later. No, that is a good story because he probably, he is probably the nicest celebrity I've ever met.
Jason5:50Moment view
Yeah.
David5:50Moment view
And it felt like I was talking to someone that like I used to hang out with.
Jason5:54Moment view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David5:56Moment view
It was bonkers. So we had trailers there at the Teen Choice Awards. And they came up to me in my trailer. I had like a smaller trailer, and it was right across, like literally right next to Robert Downey Jr.'s trailer, who's like one of my all-time favorite celebrities because he's Iron Man. I fucking love the Avengers movies. And they had, they had a trailer right across.
Jason6:19Moment view
He's done a ton of other amazing films. Sure. That you never talk about. Have you ever watched Chaplin? Yeah, he plays Charlie Chaplin.
David6:27Moment view
Yeah, but he's a superhero now. Like, he's a superhero.
Jason6:29Moment view
He's done so much, you never talk about any of his other films.
David6:33Moment view
And he's, yeah, anyway, his trailer was right across from me and I noticed this like the day of rehearsals and they were gonna give me a bigger trailer 'cause I was one of the hosts, so they're like, hey, you're a host, we can get you a bigger trailer. And Natalie went back and told them that we wanna stay in the smaller one because it was closer to Robert Downey. So they're like, okay, that's fine. So yeah, I waited, it was like the day of the show and I had Megan, my publicist, and like my agent and Jack, sitting outside my dressing room, my trailer, just waiting for him to come. And I was like fucking stressing out like a maniac in my trailer, 'cause I was like, I've never hosted anything, I'm about to go on, like I don't know how I'm gonna sound. And then I get a knock on my door and they're like, he's coming, he's coming.
Jason7:13Moment view
Came at the absolute worst time.
David7:15Moment view
Yeah, he came at the worst time, like literally the most stressed I've been in a really long time. And I see him walking right to his trailer and I come right out of the trailer and I go, literally, this is what my voice sounded like, I go, Hi! I go, hi! And he goes, hello. And I go, I'm such a big fan. And he goes, who are you? Tell me everything. And he said it in like an Iron Man way. He said, like, at this point he is Tony Stark. Like Robert Downey Jr., I mean, I don't know if Tony Stark is Robert Downey Jr. or Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark. But he's like his confident character. So he came over to me and he goes, Who are you? Tell me everything, and shook my hand. And I have never fucking frozen like this around a celebrity. I just, I didn't, I meant to ask for a picture because I knew I would never, like I would never be able to do anything else with him 'cause I'm just like so nervous. But I literally just went, I literally went, I don't know what to say. I'm so nervous. Great to meet you. And that's it. And then I went back into my trailer and I had a little freakout moment and he went to his. And that's all I saw of him. And then I, and then I, I tried to get a picture with him later, but his security said he couldn't because they were trying to get him out of the place, which sucked. I messed it up. I literally got so fucking nervous because it— because he— I didn't know he was gonna pay so much attention to me. He came right over, looked me in the eyes, and shook my hand. And dude, I literally fucking froze. I was like a 3-year-old girl. And he probably thought— he probably thought I was such a mess. And then like— and then the show started.
Jason8:43Moment view
Did you tell him you were the co-host?
David8:45Moment view
I didn't tell him I was a co-host.
Jason8:46Moment view
No, I didn't know who you were. He probably thought you were a singer or something.
David8:48Moment view
No, he probably Thought you were gonna boycott. I didn't care to tell him, 'cause it's like, he's not gonna care, who cares? But he probably thought I was some huge freaky fan that just came out of nowhere, 'cause I was so nervous to meet him. And then, it was so funny, I opened up the Teen Choice Awards, 'cause I was the co-host, and I walk on the stage and I see to my right Robert Downey Jr. clapping, 'cause it's the opening of the Teen Choice Awards. And I just couldn't imagine what he was thinking. Like, that nervous shit is the fucking host of this show? It was crazy because I knew he was looking at me because I was the first one on stage and I was like, I cannot believe I'm standing on a stage on fucking national television in front of fucking my idol right now. That was so cool.
Jason9:31Moment view
Was it hard, like reading the prompter and still like being yourself?
David9:36Moment view
The— yeah, it was hard reading the prompter and it was really— it's really hard. So yeah, so like everything's out of blinding.
Jason9:41Moment view
It was at the beach.
David9:41Moment view
It was at the beach. The sun was blinding and like the people around you, they're just screaming. They're like, David, David, yeah. And they're like touching your leg and stuff.
Jason9:48Moment view
And not really interested in what you're saying, just more interested in—
David9:51Moment view
Yeah, oh, 'cause the people around you can't even hear what you're saying. Like, you're like talking almost for the TV.
Jason9:56Moment view
Right.
David9:56Moment view
So like everyone around you is like really loud and they don't even know when you're talking 'cause they can't hear you. So they're not even thinking about interrupting you. But no, I mean, I don't know. That was, the whole thing was the best. And the fact that I got to meet Robert Downey was the best.
Jason10:10Moment view
I'm gonna tell our audience what I pulled you aside, what I said. I said, David, You did such a good job, and you were— you went up there and you were yourself. You did something that took me 15 years to figure out in stand-up, and you went up there and you were just you. It was great.
David10:27Moment view
Yeah, it was such a good job. Well, I appreciate it.
Jason10:29Moment view
David started crying.
David10:30Moment view
I did not start crying.
Jason10:32Moment view
He said, thank you, I really needed to hear this. I said, let's go to Buffalo Wild Wings.
David10:38Moment view
No, I don't know, it's— it's— you're just always nice, so it's hard trusting you.
Jason10:42Moment view
No, no, no, no. I mean, I'll be totally honest. My mom and I were talking about— we went home and we watched it on TV, which was— it came off really good on TV.
David10:50Moment view
You said I look sexier on TV.
Jason10:52Moment view
I don't want the— I don't want the fans to think I'm weird, but like, like, when you masturbate— let me explain. Like, when you're next to David in person, like, he's kind of— he's just kind of goofy. He's more his person. It's more like about personality than like his build.
David11:08Moment view
He's kind of almost, almost a little nerdy, but almost kind of a fucking loser.
Jason11:15Moment view
But then on TV, and you guys can attest to this if you watch the Teen Choice Awards or go walk— go back and watch it, he looked kind of studly. Like he had like a 5 o'clock shadow. A little—
David11:23Moment view
people are gonna watch you.
Jason11:24Moment view
You look tall. You look like an athlete. I was like, he's not— he looks taller than he is. Maybe—
David11:28Moment view
I don't know how tall Lucy is, but people are gonna watch me on TV and they're gonna go, wow, he looks like a fucking loser here. I can't imagine how he looks in person. Jason's— if Jason thought this was sexy—
Jason11:37Moment view
no, I mean, you're always winning, David. You always come out on top.
David11:41Moment view
I was happy I did it. I was very nervous to do it, but I'm so happy I did it, and I fucking want to do so many more hosting things. I loved it.
Jason11:48Moment view
And now you did it. You did like— oh, this was hilarious. You were standing backstage and the show had not started, and for weeks I was telling you, I was like, it's live, it's live, live. And you're like, no, no, it's live to tape. It airs— you had, you had it all wrong.
David12:01Moment view
Yeah, someone told me that it airs the next day, so I'm like, I can mess up, I can do whatever I want.
Jason12:05Moment view
So right before he goes on, someone's like, it's live, and you're like, what do you mean? And you're like, live, like what? And they're like, live, live. Like, it's going out like now. Well, it's 5:00 here and they're watching on the— and David was like, fuck.
David12:18Moment view
No, no, no. How I found out is I went on. Yeah, I opened the show, I went backstage, I checked my phone and I saw some text. Yeah. And the texts were like, you're doing great. What the fuck you mean I'm doing great? This airs tomorrow. And then I turned to a producer, I'm like, when is this airing? He's like, 10 minutes ago. I was like, oh, fuck.
Jason12:40Moment view
How did you not know that?
David12:41Moment view
I don't know.
Jason12:42Moment view
I thought the first thing I would have asked—
David12:43Moment view
I thought it was one of those shows that like you tape in front of a live audience and then they like edit it together. And then, yeah, I didn't know.
Jason12:50Moment view
It was better you didn't know.
David12:51Moment view
I had no idea. Well, I ended up knowing then. Then I knew. But like, it was too late by then.
Jason12:56Moment view
You'd already done the—
David12:57Moment view
Yeah, it was. I was so nervous like at the beginning, but at the end I was just literally just having such a blast.
Jason13:02Moment view
What did it feel like when you were just done? Done?
David13:04Moment view
I was sad. I wanted to keep going. You did? Yeah, because then when you get into a groove, you like really get into the groove, right? And yeah, it was just— it was just—
Jason13:11Moment view
and then you learn like what your co-host—
David13:13Moment view
oh, and I also won a Teen Choice Award. Thank you guys. I never even like really said thank you. That's fucking ridiculous. I was on— oh, so I was on stage and, and I had this like— I read my script so I knew what was coming next, and I had to like present— I had to present Mabel. She was singing and the prompter all of a sudden turned off. And I freaked out and I looked at Lucy, I was like, oh my God, what's going on? I got so scared. I was like, no, please don't turn off on us. And I was like, and then I was like, okay guys, looks like I just started improving. I literally just went, okay guys, looks like I'm going to start dancing for the next 35 minutes. And then everyone started fucking applauding. I'm like, wow, people really like that joke. And like, I was like, why do people like that joke? And then I looked at the prompter again and it said John Stamos. Like it said it on the prompter. I was like, wait, John Stamos? And then I turned around and John Stamos was standing behind me. That's why everyone was cheering at my lame joke, because he walked out and presented me on my own Teen Choice Award, or Teen Choice Award, which is nuts. And that was— that's so crazy. Josh Peck gave me my Kids' Choice Award.
Jason14:11Moment view
Yeah.
David14:11Moment view
And John Stamos gave me my Teen Choice Award.
Jason14:14Moment view
Yeah.
David14:15Moment view
Some part of me thinks SpongeBob's gonna give you your Oscar. Oh, fuck, that'd be— that'd be a dream. No, but that's—
Jason14:21Moment view
hey, David.
David14:24Moment view
No, I don't know. That's like, you can't write, you can't write it any better than that. Yeah, that was like, that's the, that I really, really, really like that. I wish I could have done better presenting, but it was my first time.
Jason14:34Moment view
Great.
David14:35Moment view
No, no, I'm sorry, I'm not, I feel like I'm saying it like I want compliments, but I'm just saying, I know you're not saying it like that, but next time, next time I'll be more ready and I'm super down to do it. And big shout out to Lucy because she's, she was so great.
Jason14:48Moment view
She's really smooth.
David14:49Moment view
Yeah, she's so smooth.
Jason14:50Moment view
So good, good pairing with you.
David14:52Moment view
Yeah. So yeah, I love that. You know how I was telling you on set, like, I'm treated like some fucking prince?
Jason14:59Moment view
On the Nickelodeon show?
David15:00Moment view
On the Nickelodeon show, yeah. I was on set earlier today, and this is 100% a true story. I was sucking on a lollipop, like one of those— I thought you were gonna say something else. I was trying to get a promotion, sucking off the CEO. I was sucking on a lollipop, and one of the people working on the show comes in, And they go, is that the right flavor lollipop or should we get you a different one? And I go, are you being serious? And she goes, yeah. And I go, this is fine, I love cherry. And she goes, okay, well I didn't want to get you grape. And I go, yeah, grape would have sucked, I'm glad you got me cherry. And she's like, just let me know if you need it. I'm like, I can't tell if you're being serious. She's like, oh no, no, this is my job. So the other day, the other day Natalie was cold, so they brought her a portable heater.
Jason15:45Moment view
No.
David15:46Moment view
Into the room.
Jason15:47Moment view
Are you kidding?
David15:47Moment view
No, it's insane. I say this because I'm so grateful and just— and so fucking confused.
Jason15:53Moment view
Yeah, you know, the only problem—
David15:55Moment view
I literally, Jason, I have the best job in the world. Like, the best job.
Jason15:59Moment view
Being a YouTuber is the best.
David16:00Moment view
In the world. And it's like— and the best part about it is like the creative freedom. It's like, it's cool being on a show, or like, even— like, the problem with being on a show is you don't have that much creative freedom because it's already all written.
Jason16:13Moment view
Right, right.
David16:14Moment view
But, or even if you make a movie, like, you're working on that movie for 4 months to, you know, 3 years. Yeah, you're working on it your entire life. But like, with the videos we make, is like, it's a— we get to try something fresh every time.
Jason16:26Moment view
Uh-huh.
David16:26Moment view
You know what I mean? Like, if we want to make one video about something, I can, or if I want to make a bunch of different bits, I can. I don't know, I'm so lucky to have this job.
Jason16:35Moment view
Yeah, we had an interesting conversation with someone last week where we were talking about like acting and YouTubing, and we were talking to this actor, and she was like, she was like, she was like kind of down on acting. You said something really interesting. You were like, she was like, you're like, I get it. Like when I say I'm a YouTuber, that's easier to own than saying you are an actor.
David16:54Moment view
Oh yeah, she was like, I asked her, I was like, what do you do? And she's like, she's like, I'm an actress, right? But she's like, I hate saying that.
Jason17:01Moment view
Yeah, yeah, that's what she said.
David17:02Moment view
And I was like, yeah, it's hard to say you're an actress in LA because it's like everybody's an actress, right?
Jason17:08Moment view
Yeah. All the people that don't—
David17:09Moment view
she was like a pretty popular—
Jason17:10Moment view
she was, she was very— yeah, she was really popular.
David17:12Moment view
So it was funny to see her do it. And then I went, yeah, I get what you mean. That's a hard thing to say. But for me to say YouTuber, it's so easy for me to say it.
Jason17:20Moment view
Yeah.
David17:20Moment view
It's like it's not held to this—
Jason17:22Moment view
like, when I was— before I was doing YouTube, I would do that. Like, someone would be like, what do you do? I'm like, well, I'm an actor. But like, I wasn't acting.
David17:29Moment view
Yeah.
Jason17:29Moment view
You know what I mean?
David17:30Moment view
Yeah. It's like, it's like a weirder— it's, it's like tougher to swallow.
Jason17:33Moment view
It's like you're delusional.
David17:34Moment view
But now it is like you're delusional.
Jason17:35Moment view
Yeah.
David17:36Moment view
Even though she was a big actress and she She 100% could say she's an actress. No, it is, it's really interesting. I don't know. And I think, I think more people are coming around to the whole YouTube thing, which is especially with like the fact that I got the opportunity to host for Fox.
Jason17:53Moment view
It bummed me out.
David17:53Moment view
That's like a big—
Jason17:54Moment view
bummed me out that we ran into Jack Black. And then you were like, well, now I, now I can't surprise Jason with Jack Black. And I was like, yeah, you can.
David18:01Moment view
Yeah, I want to surprise— I've been— we've been talking to Jack.
Jason18:03Moment view
You've been trying to surprise me with A whole bunch of things.
David18:06Moment view
It's funny. There's like, there's so many things that I like just hold like inside me, like all these surprises, right?
Jason18:12Moment view
Like, so you can do—
David18:13Moment view
I have one coming up that you're going to see, and I've been holding it in for a couple of months.
Jason18:17Moment view
Really?
David18:17Moment view
Yeah. And it's, it's, it's like a couple of weeks away.
Jason18:20Moment view
I'm very excited.
David18:22Moment view
No, no, Kate Upton. It's not for you.
Jason18:23Moment view
Oh, who's it for?
David18:25Moment view
I can't say. But, but yeah, it's like, it is tough holding the surprise. But yeah, no, all in all, it's—
Jason18:31Moment view
I've got a bunch of stuff too up my sleeve. That I've been holding in.
David18:34Moment view
Yeah.
Jason18:35Moment view
Yeah.
David18:35Moment view
Just candy.
Jason18:36Moment view
It's a bunch of farts.
David18:37Moment view
Reese's Pieces.
Jason18:37Moment view
Yeah.
David18:38Moment view
Snickers. No. No. Yeah, it's sick. I would— I don't know. I guess— I guess moral of the story is follow your dreams. That sounds so fucking crazy. It sounds so stupid to say follow your fucking dreams.
Jason18:52Moment view
Someone's listening to this, like, emptying garbage. They're like, fuck you, David.
David18:59Moment view
I know. I know. It sounds so cheesy. But like, what else is there? I don't know. Well, what do you say to someone that's like— what I always say to kids that wants to be a YouTuber, like, what do you say to that person?
Jason19:09Moment view
I usually— I'm usually very— like, if when I do Q&As in my stand-up show, I'm very brutally, brutally honest with them. I'm just like, if you don't have an insane passion for making videos and you're like almost— you need to be almost addicted to it, don't do it. I do not even try. Don't waste your time. But if you love it, love it, love it, then it won't matter if you make money or not. And just go do it.
David19:33Moment view
Yeah, you have to do it.
Jason19:35Moment view
But I say that with anything too, like any job. Like, what's your— whenever I talk to kids, I'm like, what's your passion? What are you passionate about? Yeah, that's basically it. Even, even when I was like broke, I was still passionate about what I was doing, you know? Like, I was like, I'm doing stand-up.
David19:53Moment view
I mean, none of us started doing this with the intention of making money from it, right?
Jason20:01Moment view
Right.
David20:01Moment view
I mean, it definitely wasn't—
Jason20:02Moment view
is that true?
David20:03Moment view
I mean, no, no, no.
Jason20:04Moment view
Like, you obviously wanted to make money.
David20:06Moment view
Well, I wanted it— I wanted it to be my job, right? But I didn't start Vine because I saw that Viners were making money, right?
Jason20:14Moment view
Right.
David20:14Moment view
Like, I wanted entertainment. I wanted the long-term goal of entertainment to be my job, right? But I never started Vine and was like, this is what's gonna make me a lot of money, or YouTube's gonna make me a lot, right? I always saw everything as like a stepping stone. And like, it was like, it was like I had to prove myself that I can do this and I can do the next thing. But it was never like, I want to get a quick buck off this and make videos. Like, right, like it was— I don't know, that's— it is, it is really hard. But it's like, but it— you almost can't teach anybody that. You almost can't tell somebody to follow their dreams. They just have to fucking do it.
Jason20:47Moment view
Like, it's, it's like, I'm always, I'm always like— and I've seen so many people in my life too that like they just don't have drive. And they're like, like, oh, like, for example, like all the kids I went to high school with, yeah, like way funnier than me. Kids I went to college with, way funnier than me. And then when I started to do stand-up, I would see them and they'd be like, wow, like you're not funny, you know what I mean?
David21:10Moment view
Yeah.
Jason21:10Moment view
And you're doing stand-up. And I'm like, well, you should do it too. Like, it's really fun. Like, I love it.
David21:13Moment view
Yeah, you said something interesting the other day about like stand-up that like, I don't know, I don't know, I think it was you, like you were talking about like how I was like, I could never do it. But you were talking about how it's all about going out there and just failing in front of people. Like, you have to be willing to, like, not get any laughs.
Jason21:31Moment view
Yeah.
David21:31Moment view
And that's why you work so well. Like, we'll, we'll, like, be— we'll be filming, we'll be filming something, and Jason will be on a crowded bus and he'll start— try to start making jokes, and none of them are landing.
Jason21:43Moment view
None of them.
David21:44Moment view
Like, nothing's— no one's laughing. Jason looks like an idiot. We look, we look like complete assholes, right?
Jason21:51Moment view
But like, but Jason doesn't stop because he's like, I don't let it get me down.
David21:56Moment view
Yeah, he doesn't let it get— and then there'll be other people in our friend group that will literally go, oh, well, now, you know, here, like this, look how embarrassing this is.
Jason22:05Moment view
Yeah.
David22:05Moment view
And like, I'll be like, why are you saying that? Like, Jason's over here fucking trying.
Jason22:08Moment view
Like, I'm trying. I think I hit like—
David22:10Moment view
that's like the—
Jason22:11Moment view
I hit 1 out of 20.
David22:13Moment view
Yeah.
Jason22:15Moment view
So for anyone out there, it's the best when Jason hits a joke.
David22:18Moment view
When Jason It's like the most rewarding thing about all this is like when someone's on a roll with jokes. Like, you know, when you like just feel it, you know, when you get like that first laugh.
Jason22:27Moment view
Yeah.
David22:28Moment view
And then you're like, and then you're like, I know I'm going to get the next and the next.
Jason22:31Moment view
Yeah.
David22:31Moment view
Like you, like you already have like everything just like in place.
Jason22:34Moment view
Right.
David22:35Moment view
That's the best.
Jason22:36Moment view
Yeah. That's pretty cool actually.
David22:38Moment view
It's like, it's like Jason. Jason is the worst when he goes, when he goes, turn the camera on, turn the camera on. So like sometimes I'll just be like, fuck you.
Jason22:47Moment view
Sometimes I nailed it. Turn your camera on about 3 weeks ago at the movie theater.
David22:51Moment view
The only time—
Jason22:52Moment view
oh, whatever, there's been tons of times Jason will go, turn the camera on, turn the camera on.
David22:56Moment view
And the worst part is, is like sometimes he won't tell me. We'll be standing around like 10 people and he'll point to him and he'll go, David, turn the camera on. And it's the worst when other people are like, whoa, why does he want the camera on? What is he about to do? And he'll like, he'll like say a joke and everyone's like waiting for this like big thing because he just made me turn the camera on. But he's like, ah, damn it, it didn't land. Um, the only time it's worked is like a couple of weeks ago, which I think was like 2 months ago now, Jason was turning the camera on and he tripped over like, like the, the, the lines, um, that they're like when you go to the movie theater, there's like ropes. Yeah. He jumped over the ropes. Yeah. The velvet ropes that divide the line. He tripped over a couple of them and knocked them over. That was the only time it's worked. But every time it's just like, it kind of just dies and you just kind of have to swallow.
Jason23:43Moment view
And then David goes, Jason, no, no. What are you doing? No. And I was like, oh, fuck, he's mad at me. But then we got inside the movie and he was like, no, no, that was fine.
David23:53Moment view
Yeah, that was funny.
Jason23:53Moment view
Hey, can people stop qualifying that they like me? They always go, for some reason I've been watching Jason Nash. Is that weird?
David24:05Moment view
Yeah, that's like— that's like when people like go, I don't know why, but I'm like weirdly attracted to David.
Jason24:12Moment view
Right, right, right.
David24:13Moment view
Just fucking— what do you mean weirdly? What's your problem? It's pretty normal. I'm an okay-looking dude. You can just say you're attracted to me. I mean, I'll be honest, that is pretty— they probably did fucking hit their head after watching your videos. Sometimes I say that. Sometimes I'll be watching your videos and Natalie will come by and go, are you okay? And I go, what? And I just kind of snap out of it and I go, I can't believe I was doing that. It's so embarrassing. So I get it.
Jason24:37Moment view
Yeah, well, I gotta move out, David, September 1st.
David24:41Moment view
They're making you?
Jason24:42Moment view
Yeah. Not making me. I can stay if I want to pay all that rent. They're more than happy to have me.
David24:49Moment view
I can stay if I fucking rob a bank.
Jason24:52Moment view
My house is very expensive.
David24:54Moment view
How much is it a month?
Jason24:55Moment view
I can't say.
David24:56Moment view
$11,000 a month.
Jason24:57Moment view
Not that much, but a bit around there.
David24:59Moment view
And it's like $9,000 a month.
Jason25:01Moment view
Yeah. And it was supposed to be the new vlog squad house, but it didn't pan out that way. No one ever came. I think I showed you the house and you were like, yes, get it. Definitely. And I was like, okay, all right. David's into it. I'm into it.
David25:16Moment view
Jason got the house because he thought people were going to go there. And I remember at first, I remember the first time I was there, he did a— he did a no shoe or no shoe rule.
Jason25:26Moment view
So you have a no shoe rule here.
David25:27Moment view
I know, I know, I know.
Jason25:28Moment view
Bullshit.
David25:29Moment view
I know, I know. But he didn't.
Jason25:30Moment view
I killed that thing at the—
David25:31Moment view
he did a no shoe rule. And then, and then he started— he was like, you know what? Not too many people are coming here. So he goes, one day we were all over, luckily. And he goes, guys, you can wear your shoes in the house now. I think it was like to, like, win us over so we come by more. And then no one ended up actually going over there ever again.
Jason25:47Moment view
No.
David25:48Moment view
Did you cancel the no-shoe rule in hopes of more people coming?
Jason25:50Moment view
Yeah, that was what I was hoping.
David25:52Moment view
That was your, like, your last stab at it. Like, I think I'm going to get people to come over.
Jason25:57Moment view
You have a no-shoe rule. So I was like, why don't I institute it too? Yeah, that's where I got it from. I always let people wear shoes in my house. Yeah, but it is hard if you have like 10 people come in the house and dragging dirt around.
David26:08Moment view
It's so funny, like in different cultures, like Some people like are like, how the fuck can you enter a house and take your shoes off? Like, to some people that's crazy.
Jason26:17Moment view
Oh, is that true?
David26:18Moment view
Yeah.
Jason26:18Moment view
Is that how it is in Slovakia?
David26:20Moment view
Well, no, in Slovakia, in Slovakia everyone takes their shoes off.
Jason26:23Moment view
Okay.
David26:24Moment view
Yeah, all the time.
Jason26:25Moment view
Okay. And in Japan I know they do.
David26:26Moment view
Yeah, that's— I don't know. But like, now I'm getting to the point where now I don't care because we have so many meetings at the house.
Jason26:32Moment view
Right.
David26:33Moment view
The worst is to ask someone that's coming like from like, you know, an executive at AT&T, hey, can you take your shoes off? You know, that's weird. So now I, now I don't do it as much. But if you're coming to hang out here like all day, then take your shoes off. But if you're coming just like party or pregame, you can keep them on. This next segment of the podcast called Joe's Podcast. It's where we give our editor friend 25 seconds to say and do whatever he wants. Starting in 3, 2, go.
Jason27:06Moment view
Weenies, it's the best part of the podcast, the JTWP. Today we have a special guest. It's a popcorn eating contest. Jason, are you ready to participate? I'm ready, Joe. There's a lot of popcorn here. I'm ready to have fun. And 3, 2, 1, go! Slow down, man. Jason's choking.
David27:27Moment view
Oh my God, that's it. That's the time.
Jason27:30Moment view
Why would you do this to me?
David27:32Moment view
Jay, check the ratings. How many listeners did we lose?
Jason27:35Moment view
Okay, the Nielsens are in, and oh my God, we just lost $100,000 on that.
David27:41Moment view
Fuck. Well, Joe, looks like you've successfully knocked it down a couple points down the chart. Thank you again.
Jason27:48Moment view
Hey, but come on, David, a popcorn eating contest is a tough thing.
David27:50Moment view
You know, I like when Joe comes into the podcast because he makes everything else sound a lot better. Our podcast can be pretty lame, but then when you hear Joe's portion, you go, hey, that wasn't so bad. I kinda miss the old podcast. You know what I love about Joe's podcast?
Jason28:07Moment view
What's that?
David28:07Moment view
Is our podcast can be maybe like boring or subpar, but then you hear Joe's teeny weeny, right? And you go, holy shit, the stuff I was listening to before was really good. And I regret— I regret not being grateful for that because I miss it. So thank you, Joe, for making people realize how much better our podcast is. Well, you've lived a long life. Have you ever had a threesome?
Jason28:31Moment view
Yes. Yes, I have. I have one.
David28:33Moment view
Are you being serious?
Jason28:35Moment view
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm being— yeah. You know what's funny?
David28:39Moment view
What were the dudes' names? David and Tom.
Jason28:43Moment view
Joe. David and Joe. And Joe's teeny weeny.
David28:46Moment view
Um, no, you did?
Jason28:47Moment view
Yeah, I did. Yeah, threesomes are not— they're not what you think.
David28:52Moment view
What?
Jason28:53Moment view
I mean, it's like a big movie that you're excited about. Remember that movie you were excited about, about the Beatles? Yeah, and then everyone said it sucked. Yeah, yesterday. Yeah, I didn't see it. Did you see it?
David29:02Moment view
I haven't seen it, but yeah, but it's kind of like that.
Jason29:04Moment view
It's kind of like, oh, I thought this would be better.
David29:07Moment view
Oh, what happened?
Jason29:08Moment view
It's too much.
David29:10Moment view
I want to know how it even— how you— were you— were you— how old were you?
Jason29:15Moment view
I was like 28, a long time ago.
David29:17Moment view
Oh, so you're about 50s. How did it happen?
Jason29:22Moment view
I was seeing this girl.
David29:23Moment view
Yeah.
Jason29:24Moment view
And she was like, you know, she's like, she's like, hey, this is weird. It's like, I'm really embarrassed, kind of embarrassed to say this, but like, would you ever be down to have like a threesome? And I was like, yeah. I was like, fuck yeah. And she was like, oh, okay, okay. And then she like showed me a picture of your friend, her friend. And I was like, holy shit. I was like, yes, this is fucking— are you kidding?
David29:52Moment view
Sure.
Jason29:52Moment view
And I was like, I hit the jackpot. Yeah, because I figured like that, to me, what I thought was like, well, that'll be the best thing ever. Like if you had like a wife or a girlfriend that was into girls.
David30:00Moment view
Yeah.
Jason30:01Moment view
And then that'd be like, well, then that would be great. That would be the best of both worlds.
David30:04Moment view
Did you think she was fucking with you at first?
Jason30:07Moment view
No, because she was like a New York girl. She was like really— she was New Yorky. Oh, a lot of people have threesomes, you know, people in New York, they're fucking crazy.
David30:14Moment view
So, okay, and then, and then how did it— so, so a friend came by? What happened? You guys get to the sex right away?
Jason30:19Moment view
Frank came by.
David30:23Moment view
The girls decided to take a bath and they went in the bath and then they were like, hey, you should probably take a shower too, you fucking disgusting fuck. What happened?
Jason30:36Moment view
I'm sorry, that was just a hint.
David30:38Moment view
Wait, they went— they went to take a bath by themselves?
Jason30:41Moment view
Yeah. They were like, we're going to go take a bath. Like, we were watching TV and then I was like, oh, okay. And I was like, well, should I come? And they were like, yeah, yeah, you should come in. Of course. Yeah, come on in. And I was like, oh, okay, okay. So then like, then like, you know, like they got down to like their, their panties and, but, and no, and no tops, you know?
David31:02Moment view
Yeah.
Jason31:03Moment view
So they're in the bath and like, and then I got down to my boxers and I jumped out of the bath.
David31:11Moment view
They got water everywhere.
Jason31:12Moment view
They ran home and then I got out of my boxers and then What's really funny about the three-way is like, it's like, it's, it needs to start. It has to start at some point. Sure. And then I remember like being in the bathtub for a while, like being like, hey, we're all taking a bath. But that's not what was going down at all. Yeah, it was like, it was time for me to like make the move on somebody.
David31:38Moment view
Yeah.
Jason31:39Moment view
But then we spent, I spent a lot of time on the sidelines just kind of like talking and like having some beer.
David31:46Moment view
Were you making jokes?
Jason31:48Moment view
Yeah, I was probably making jokes.
David31:49Moment view
And then, and then at one point, you like, when you're like in a sexual setting, are you like a funny guy? You seem like a guy who just loses all funny when he's in a sexual setting.
Jason31:59Moment view
Yeah, I don't, I don't try to make jokes. I get very like, you know, hey, we're having sex. I don't, I don't fucking tell jokes.
David32:06Moment view
No, not joking.
Jason32:07Moment view
Somebody like, you just seem like you just like, you just get like, hey, how about airplanes? Fucking, what's this with the size of the peanuts, huh?
David32:16Moment view
No, you just seem like you're like, like you, when you, when you're like in like the zone, you get like really focused in on it and everything else just doesn't exist. I don't know why. Yeah, I do.
Jason32:25Moment view
I do. I don't know. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm not funny at all.
David32:29Moment view
Yeah.
Jason32:29Moment view
And I'm like really into having sex and blowing my load.
David32:33Moment view
Fucking Christ, bro.
Jason32:35Moment view
I mean, what? We have kids listening, Jason. You're kidding. Some kid was listening to his parent right there and was like, oh, it got really awkward right about now.
David32:46Moment view
Kids on his road trip and was like, please, Mom, you gotta listen to these guys, they're so funny.
Jason32:51Moment view
Some kids on his way to college.
David32:53Moment view
And you know, it was going so great because we were talking about like— 3-way? No, because it was going great because we were talking about like following your dreams. And you know, the mom was like, okay, okay, Stuart, Adam, I understand why you watch this, why you listen to this now. These guys are good, and if they're doing great stuff in Hollywood, I'm happy for it.
Jason33:14Moment view
And then we fucked it up by you talking about blowing your load in a If you're on your way looking at colleges and you're in the passenger seat and your mom is driving—
David33:23Moment view
yeah, if you're watching this with your parents, like, have the discussion right now. Yeah, look to your parents and go, hey, listen, I fucking— I watch porn. You know, just turn to your parents and go, I've watched porn. And parents, if you're watching with your kids, turn to your kids and just ask them right now, straight up ask them, do you jerk off? Ask your son that right now and start the conversation, and maybe you guys will be closer.
Jason33:48Moment view
Get this tour of Colgate started. Started in the right way.
David33:52Moment view
Yeah. Okay.
Jason33:53Moment view
We're going to give you a moment of silence now.
David33:55Moment view
Every time, every time I think of like parents listening to this podcast, it's because they're about to go tour a college of some sort.
Jason34:00Moment view
Yeah, we've heard that quite a bit.
David34:01Moment view
Yeah. Every time we're going to look for colleges, we're listening to your podcast.
Jason34:05Moment view
Oh, what a shit show that must be.
David34:06Moment view
Yeah, whatever. I don't know.
Jason34:09Moment view
Anyways, anyways, the thing, the thing that struck me as funny was that like, you know, you're like, oh, they have their tops off, they're in their panties. This is go time, you know what I mean? Like, they wouldn't have done that if they weren't ready.
David34:22Moment view
Sure.
Jason34:22Moment view
So anyways, so then, you know, you start doing whatever and you start making out with one, and obviously you like one more than the other, right?
David34:29Moment view
Yeah.
Jason34:30Moment view
The girl I'm seeing, like, I like—
David34:31Moment view
oh, you liked her more? Yeah.
Jason34:33Moment view
Well, yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't— the other one's hot, but I don't—
David34:36Moment view
yeah, you're not—
Jason34:36Moment view
I don't know her.
David34:37Moment view
Yeah.
Jason34:38Moment view
You know, and so, so, you know, it's like, you, you know, when you like make out with your girlfriend, you're like really into it. So then you like make out with your girlfriend and then you start making out with the other one and then you start making out and it just—
David34:50Moment view
was she your girlfriend at the time?
Jason34:53Moment view
Yeah.
David34:53Moment view
Okay.
Jason34:54Moment view
And so then it's just like you just kind of end up— I don't know, it's just too much.
David34:59Moment view
Yeah.
Jason35:00Moment view
You end up, you end up not connected with your girlfriend and then you're just having this like crazy—
David35:05Moment view
it's just too many bodies being thrown at each other.
Jason35:07Moment view
Yeah. And you just have this crazy sexual thing with like a one-night stand, but you're not connected with your girlfriend. So then it's just kind of like, eh. Yeah, you lose— you lose the intimacy.
David35:15Moment view
So, so I guess it didn't work out the best.
Jason35:17Moment view
I couldn't get hard either.
David35:18Moment view
Yeah, that makes sense. Do you— did you talk to your parents a lot about sex?
Jason35:22Moment view
No, we never talked about sex. I— it was really, really hard for me. I was like, never spoken about, and I was like really awkward about it. And then my dad would always like— he would always like, if they're like a girl with like big boobs walk by, he'd be like, hey, what do you think of that? And that would make me really uncomfortable.
David35:42Moment view
Oh my God. How the fuck do you respond to that?
Jason35:44Moment view
I don't know. Did your dad do that?
David35:46Moment view
Fuck no.
Jason35:46Moment view
He never like nudged him and like, oh, look at this.
David35:49Moment view
Never.
Jason35:50Moment view
Yeah, it was really awkward.
David35:51Moment view
I don't think my dad, to my knowledge, ever looked at another woman like that in his life.
Jason35:55Moment view
Oh, really?
David35:56Moment view
Yeah. Like, I mean, if he did, I would, I would have absolutely no idea.
Jason36:01Moment view
Yeah.
David36:01Moment view
If my dad did that to me and was like, look at that ass, I'd be like, what the fuck is wrong with you? That's like No.
Jason36:09Moment view
That's funny. Did your parents talk to you about sex?
David36:12Moment view
No, I've told the story before. They, they like referenced one of my Vines and that's how they told me about what sex was.
Jason36:19Moment view
You didn't know about sex until you were making Vines?
David36:22Moment view
Well, my dad never had the sex talk with me and I was a pretty fucking like geek, like pretty big geek. So they were probably like, we don't have to have this conversation for another fucking 15 years. So like they never brought it up.
Jason36:33Moment view
There's no way any girl is interested in him anyways.
David36:37Moment view
Here is sex talk. If you're ever lucky, do it, but there's no fucking way. And that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you for listening. Jason's going on a tour to like 15 different cities.
Jason36:48Moment view
I added 6 more, 20 cities this fall.
David36:50Moment view
Are you serious?
Jason36:51Moment view
Charlotte, Oregon, Texas, what am I— Miami.
David36:54Moment view
Do you think about me?
Jason36:55Moment view
I'm worried about it. I was on the phone with William Morris today and I was like, what about David? And they're like, David will be fine, he does not need you. Why do you think you're so— why do you think you're so important, play such an important role in David's life? I was like, yeah, I know, but like We're doing a thing. We're like a duo in a way. And they were like, no, David just tells you what to do. And I was like, hey guys, that's not exactly how I see it. I think I'm going to hang up the call. And, and no, I am worried about it. But then the good news is I've already bought you tickets to come with me.
