Guys, I want to thank the sponsors of this episode, Honey. Join honey.com/views and the ZipRecruiter job search app. What's up guys, welcome back to Views, the podcast where Jason and I— Jason has something stuck in his teeth right now and he's smiling at me.
Oh, thank God this is only audio.
Only at the side. Oh, it looks really gross. What did you eat?
You were picking your ass next to Natalie earlier, so don't talk to me.
I wasn't picking my ass. Yes, grabbing my ass cheek.
Okay, you're playing with your balls and your ass.
I was not putting my balls sitting— Natalie, was I playing with my balls? I was not putting my balls— I was grabbing my ass.
She's nodding her head That's because she thinks I was playing with my balls.
I was grabbing my ass cheek and I was pretending it was someone else showing me affection because I recently got a divorce.
Oh my God, I know, I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I divorced Jason's mom. And I'm gonna be here for her whenever she needs me, even though we're getting divorced. Alright, roll the intro music. What's up guys, this is The Views Podcast. I'm David, that's Jason, and this is the David and Jason Show. I want to start off, Erin's here as well.
Hello, I'm here.
Hello, I'm here. Erin's one of our friends. I got to surprise her with paying off her wedding the other day, which was really fun.
Well, contributing. I wouldn't say paying off.
How much is your wedding going to be?
I— we were planning—
We gave her $50,000. How fucking expensive is a wedding?
No, for the venue and the food alone, it's $30,000. And the venue's only $5,800.
And what's the other $20,000? Where's that going to go? Well, for the blow.
Yeah.
Where are all the drugs?
What, Jay?
You guys got to the joke before I did.
Oh. Yeah, so what are you planning on doing for your wedding?
What do you mean?
I'm really nervous. I was telling— yesterday I was in the car. Yesterday I was in the car with Jeff, and we were sitting up front, and Carly was sitting in the back. And out loud, out loud I go, I just really hope Aaron doesn't cheap out and not use all that money on the wedding. And Jeff goes, well, I'm glad you said it loud, because then Carly's going to tell her this in private. And I'm like, yep, that's why I said it. I just want to make sure you use all the money I gave you on like throwing like the coolest wedding. I'm not saying like, I'm not saying like invite more people than you should. I'm saying like, I know you want like a small wedding, right? Like a smaller wedding.
We have a 180-person guest list.
Am I invited?
Yeah.
Was I invited before?
I don't want to disclose that information.
I honestly just did it just so I asked if I can, if I can sit right on the altar in like one of those iPic chairs, like a recliner lining chair on the altar so I have like front seats and I'm just watching with popcorn.
He also wants his own cake topper.
Yeah, I want to be on the top of the cake with a vlog camera right over them.
That would be so cute.
Is he gonna be able to vlog your wedding?
Oh yeah, 100%. I was gonna let him even prior to him getting proposed.
I'm so excited. What are you most looking forward to about your wedding?
Just like having a party with all our friends.
Are you regretting the decision to say yes?
No. She cut the part out when I said yes.
No, not at all.
I'm wondering what What happens if you guys decide not to get married? Do you keep the money? What do you spend the money on?
Oh, I know. I was thinking about that the other day. Like, whoa, what if we ever get divorced? I'd feel so bad that he gave me so much money.
Well, no, because then the wedding would stop. But what if the wedding never even happens?
I mean, it will. Knock on wood. I don't want to jinx myself.
David, are you trying to get the money back?
Yeah. So let's just say I was to stop this wedding.
I'm like, I know you just divorced Lorraine, but I am still getting married.
And Carly, if you like stopped driving, like what would happen to the Tesla? Would it come back to me?
I'm running out of money.
It's so funny, I tweeted, I was like, wow, like, so sweet, David must have really wanted to be invited to my wedding. And so many of the comments are like, well, yeah, he gave you $50,000. Like, yeah, that's literally a joke.
What's up? What are you scared? Are you nervous about the wedding?
Yeah, because I hate when the attention is on me. Like, I like break out in hives.
Oh, you do? You actually break out in real life?
Yeah, like I get so just like overwhelmed.
The first time you told me, I thought you were kidding, but then— no, but then you got nervous from a situation, you had hives.
It's great you're a YouTuber. Yeah, you hate the attention.
Well, it just—
weddings are so scary because you're like standing at an altar and like, you know me, I'm a baby. Like, I'm literally just gonna be crying the whole fucking time.
Oh my god. Yeah, it's gonna be fucking great.
It's— yeah.
What day is it gonna be? I'm just trying to figure out for my vlog posting schedule.
I don't want to tell people because then I don't want people to figure out where it is.
When you were growing up, what did you imagine a wedding being like?
Nothing. I've never like been the type of girl that's like had this cookie-cutter idea of like how, what wedding dress I want to wear.
Okay, this may be an intimate question. Jace, actually answer this too, because you were married. Did you have sex when in the wedding dress? Is that a thing? Do you have to do that? I mean, I know you weren't in the wedding dress.
Yeah, I put on the dress and my wife fucked me.
It's like a rite of passage?
Well, no, because I hear—
I feel like you just watch that in porn. Like, I feel like that doesn't actually happen.
No, I think I was watching like a bridesmaids movie or something, and the girls were like, you have to make sure the dress is accessible because you have to have sex in it.
Oh no, I never heard of that. I have heard of that, but that's not appetizing to me.
No.
All wedding white and makeup, that's not appetizing. That's not sexy to me at all.
Yeah, I mean, my dress is accessible, so.
It has like a little hole in the back, like a little pocket.
I'll leave the option open and let you know how it goes.
Well, I'm going to be there for 20— I'm going to be there for the entire—
You're going to do it now. Come on.
What are you looking forward— are you looking forward to the honeymoon?
Oh yeah, I'm so excited.
Where do you guys plan on going?
TJ has always wanted to go to Bali, which I don't really care about, but since you gave us so much money, we can like fly first class, and then I'll be like down to do that.
Oh, where would you want to go if you could decide?
Probably like Greece.
Oh, okay.
And like some parts of Italy.
You don't want to go to like a warm place?
Greece is warm.
I guess, but only in the summer. Is it warm in the winter? I don't even know.
I don't know.
Oh, I guess it is, right? Isn't Greece like nice? Yeah.
Like Santorini.
Oh yeah, you would know. I don't know anything. I could be making stuff up again. Oh yeah, Greece is 90.
Yeah, I've always— I met a woman this weekend at the meet and greet, and she goes, "What's going on with David? He's joking around when he doesn't know all that stuff, right?" And I'm like, "No, he's fucking stupid." That's fucked up.
Cut that out.
Yeah, I really want to go to like Greece, like do like a week in Greece, and then like a week in Italy. I've never been to either of those places.
Are you guys gonna have kids?
Yeah, but not for like a while.
Yeah. Well, congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you.
I'm very excited.
Thanks for helping me.
Sure.
I'm just glad I'm going to get to come. How much do I get? A plus 25? What did you say? I can bring anybody from my hometown? Is that what you said?
Yeah. Oh, I didn't even think of them. How fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like once we get back all of the people saying they're not going to come, then I can include more people.
How much is it? How much is it for people that don't know how much a wedding costs?
Oh my god, it's so much money.
What costs a lot?
It's the bar.
The bar? How much is that?
The bar costs so much. It's like $10,000.
Wow. And that's just for Zane's portion of the drinks?
Yeah, literally. Um, after we picked the date, my fiancé was like, oh, do you want to like call David and ask him if he's around that day? Like, just making sure.
What'd you say?
That you can go. And I was like, I don't think he has any plans for next April, but I'll ask him when I see him.
Ah, thank you. I appreciate that.
So where we're doing it, there's a $17,000 food and beverage minimum. So, like, you have to, no matter what, spend $17,000 just on food and alcohol.
Wow. So heavy eaters have to come.
Yeah.
Jason's invited.
Luckily, the $10,000 covers the bar, and then it kind of evens out.
Sure. Well, I'm excited to go there. Again, thanks for inviting me. Is Jason invited?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh.

The other day was our friend Stas's 22nd birthday, um, and Stas, Stas has been wanting like a Tesla for a really long time. Like, she always jokes about it, um, and her best friend's Kylie, and Kylie threw this like big extravagant party for her, like huge. So I'm like, okay, there's a really good chance like Kylie's surprising Stass with this Tesla.
Yeah.
So like, I was really excited for it and like, I was like looking forward to this and I talked to Kylie because she didn't know what to get her. And then I get a text from Kylie like the— on her birthday and it's a video of Stass like crying in this Tesla. Yeah. And I just fucking— I was just like, I was, I was so bummed out that I wasn't there to shoot it, to record it. I was like, I was like devastated. I was like, oh, I was like, I'm so happy for you. But really, I was just like broken. I'm like, I can't believe she got her the car and I wasn't there to film it. And I couldn't move for like 15 minutes because I was just like, oh my god, oh my god.
Where were you?
I was here at home. And I just couldn't believe it. And then I got a text. And then I called them and I was like, so how's the car? And they go, oh yeah, we were just fucking with you. No, we didn't get her a Tesla. And I was like, are you fucking serious? Yeah, so I got pranked. I got pranked.
They got you. That's a good prank.
Genuinely, the only thing that bothers me in life is not being able to film something that I've been wanting to film.
Sure.
And that was—
Or losing footage.
Or losing footage. And that hit me right where it hurt. I don't think I described properly how torn I was for not being able to capture that moment.
Oh, that's awesome.
So they really got me. And then when they told me that they were just fucking with me, it was literally like someone just brought a relative back from the dead. I was like, yes! It was just a fucking joke. No, but yeah, that was awesome.
That says a lot about your mental state.
That's not right. Yeah, no, I agree. I don't think I'm in the right spot. I definitely need help. We had our friend Ilya's wisdom teeth taken out the other day. Yeah, that was so funny. Ilya, Ilya's like my really close friend. It was me, Jason, and Natalie there, who was my other close friend, and we were, we were, we were waiting for him to get his like teeth done, and Jason goes, Jason texts me and he's like, we should hire a stripper. So when he's like under the influence and like 'Cause we, 'cause Ilya, Jason was like, I want him to like, ooh, at somebody. Like, I want him to like, what did you say?
Ogle.
Ogle. Yeah. Like, I want him to be like, ooh, at a stripper or something. Like, that'd be funny for the video. And I said, no, no, don't worry. He has a crush on Natalie. And I was, I was so glad Natalie was around. And then Jason, Jason sneaks a picture of Natalie and he goes, well, the stripper's all here then. And, and dude, and it worked like fucking clockwork. He went on. Once he like got under the drugs from the wisdom teeth, I asked him in private, I was like, I was like, do you like Natalie? And he goes, yep. He like, and this is like shit he's been holding back from me for like a really, like, like he's been holding it from Natalie for a long time. Now, can you come here? Ilya's been, Ilya like a couple months ago told me about like his crush on Natalie and he's like, you think there's any chance that she likes me? And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. And then even Dima, our other friend, would call me. He's like, dude, Ilya keeps talking about fucking Natalie. Can you just please tell her that he has a crush on her? Natalie, did you know that he had a crush on you?
Not to the extent that he apparently did. Yeah, I always thought like, you know, he's a guy, I'm a girl. Why? Oh, it's not that cute. Um, no, but not as much as he did. And when Dima like stepped into the conversation, was like, dude, we can't talk about this. And I was like, whoa, this is actually real.
Oh yeah, no, it's totally real. He would bring up having a crush on you all the time.
Really?
Yeah. And I thought you guys were totally like like a thing or something, because you guys would always sleep in the same bed. So I'm like, oh, I assume they're like—
Yeah, he's like, like, it's like, it's like, you know, he's like my brother, you know.
Oh, that sucks.
I know, I feel really bad.
Poor dude. Well, is there a chance for him in the future? I mean, you don't want to say yes and you don't want to say no, but—
I mean, I can't predict the future, but I think if there was going to be a chance, you would need a haircut and a shave.
A haircut and a shave. He was so sweet. He was so, he was so nice.
He was saying the nicest things to me, like, Yeah, he was.
He said, he said, he goes, um, every time I'm around you, my mood, my mood, my mood goes up.
I was like, oh my God, my heart just melted.
My mood goes up.
He said the same thing about me though, like a minute before.
He did.
He did. Oh, fuck.
Um, no, but that, that is true. You never, you never like suspected that he had like a serious crush on you?
I never thought it was serious.
No.
It's weird. Cause he's your close friend. This is a weird situation. This is like, cause he's a really close friend of ours. So he's like breaking some friend walls.
Now it— well, now it's like— Ilya and I have always been really close. Like, when he sleeps over, he'll like sleep in my bed.
When I first met you and Ilya, you guys would lie to me and say you guys were cousins.
Yeah, we used to tell everybody that we were cousins in like the 4th grade.
He—
I've known him— I've known him way longer than I've known you. I've known him since the 3rd grade, and then he moved away, and then he came back, and we're like, oh my god, Ilya's back. He was like the greatest.
Yeah.
And then he— yeah, that's That's funny.
Maybe you guys are meant to be.
Maybe.
Everybody, everybody that saw the video was like, oh wait, so Natalie and David must not be dating.
That was it.
So I'm glad that cleared that up.
That was what needed to happen.
I get my— I get more wisdom teeth taken out, I also confess my love to Natalie. Natalie gets her wisdom teeth out, confesses her love to me. It's a love triangle.
Why would I— why you? Why wouldn't I just admit to Ilya?
Fuck yeah, I guess. Yeah, I just kind of want to be involved in this love. Do you need your wisdom teeth taken out?
No, you've asked me enough times.
Everyone I meet now is like, hey, how are your wisdom teeth? Because I can get them out. All right, thanks, Nat. How was your stand-up show?
It was great. It's really fun. Sold out. Crazy crowd.
Sold out what, the hot dogs?
Because you ate all— yes, well, everywhere I go.
You sold out the place?
Yeah.
Wow, congrats.
Yeah, but it was in your backyard. That's what Dima came backstage, uh, and he was like, He's like, yo, Jason, this is a big flex on David. I go, what do you mean? He goes, coming into his hometown like this, pull the place out, David's not even here. He's like, yo, this is a really big flex. And you know what's funny? The Iliad came out and the people went fucking crazy.
Yeah, Dima's weird too, so people probably like that, huh?
They loved it. He got— someone asked him a question and he started to like ramble and make no sense. And like anywhere else you'd be like, you'd want to cut him off, but the people knew him to be a rambler, so they thought the more he rambled, the more they liked it.
Oh wow, interesting. Normally here we just kind of shut him off and we go, please, Dima, please fucking stop. But I guess people appreciate it in different places. We're also here with Jeff and Cody. Jeff is our prison inmate friend, and Cody is Jeff's prison—
I haven't been arrested in years and you keep saying that.
Cody's also here. Cody is Jeff's friend who's now our friend. We just brought him out of prison.
Yeah, Cody's fresh out. He got out a week ago. He's still very, very institutionalized.
Cody, I want to say this real quick. When you walked in, I know you've been in prison for a while, so you don't have manners like normal people, but you do because you took off your shoes when you walked on the carpet, and that was fucking really sweet of you.
Oh yeah, I treat others how I want to be treated. Life's a two-way street, brother.
Yeah, man, prison really did change you. I remember we— You didn't know him before. No, no, but from what Jeff told me— Well, it does.
You have to apply it to yourself.
Yeah.
You have to want to change.
My favorite part was, I said this last week on the podcast, is Jeff, you were calling me out for listening to like shitty music. Like, he was like, this kid David just listens to a bunch of girly music and shit. And you're like trying to make me feel bad. And then Cody goes, nah man, I love that shit. Put on Taylor Swift. And then we listen to Taylor Swift.
Hey Dave, can I ask you something?
Yeah.
Hey, why do they make sidewalks?
Why do they make sidewalks? Why?
Because the streets ain't for everybody.
Wow, that's pretty good. There you go. That's it. That's Cody. And then here, Jeff. Jeff, so what happened today? Something happened with you. Yeah, this is real, by the way. This happened this morning.
Yeah, I don't know if it's just because Cody's back in my life now that I've been getting in a lot of sketchy activity lately. It might be bringing me back to my old roots. I don't know exactly what it is. Maybe it's just bad luck, but the cops came to my house.
What time?
Morning, 6:00 AM.
6:00 AM.
Yeah, so I had a buddy staying with me and who kind of was in a little legal trouble, but I didn't think it was a big deal because it wasn't like a serious crime and it was from a long time ago.
Sure.
And I get a bang on the door and I'm like, who the hell is this? And I look up and it's Cody's not there, so I figure it's Cody just locked himself out or something because he makes a lot of mistakes. Yeah, he's a little clumsy.
This is another, this is another prisoner friend you had staying over at your house that wasn't Cody.
Yeah, so basically my place right now is like a prison dorm. Even Nerf is dressed up in a jail costume. Yeah, yeah, my dog. So I get this knocking at the door and I think it's Cody. I see Cody's not on the couch where he usually sleeps, his bunk pretty much. Yeah, I go answer the door and it's 4 detectives.
Oh, it's 4 detectives?
4 detectives. Yeah.
Oh, get the fuck out. Okay.
Yeah, so of course they're very aggressive and mean, you know. I'm in my underwear. I just woke up to their knocking.
Are you wearing a shirt? I'm trying to paint this for the viewers, listeners.
Yeah, and for my boner. Yeah, I had my shirt on.
Okay, you had your shirt on and you had your boxers on.
Unfortunately, because if I—
David, get your hand out of your pants.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Yeah, I didn't want to scare anybody with my physique, so I had my shirt on.
I'm not gonna hurt you. Get down, he's got his shirt off! He's too ripped! The bullets won't penetrate him. Alright, and then, okay, so then what did they say?
So of course they asked me right off the bat, is, do you know this guy? And I say no.
They showed you a picture of him? Yeah. Okay.
I say no, I don't know that guy.
But you know him?
Oh, well actually no, I'm wrong. First they said, are you the name? And then I said no, that's not me. And I was like, what are you guys here for? You got the wrong house. And then they go, do you know this guy? I'm like, nah, is this here? I'm like Absolutely not. Are you crazy? And they're like, all right, this is the guy, cuff him. And I'm like, are you fucking nuts?
They accused you of being the guy they were looking for.
Yeah.
Okay.
So then I say, I'll get my ID, stay right here. They say, we don't trust you. If you leave this door right now, we're gonna shoot you. If we don't trust that, you think you're gonna get a gun. So if you leave this door right now, we're gonna bust in and we'll pull our guns out on you. So I said, "Okay, why don't you try Googling me? 'Cause I'm famous, buddy." And they said, "Well, it doesn't work like that," and they busted me.
What did you think he was gonna say? "Oh, okay. Chief, we gotta Google him.
He's a YouTuber." I love how David adapts my accent when we talk about these stories.
Well, when I think of cops, I think of New Yorkers.
I don't know why.
So they cuff me right away and sit me down on my couch. I'm in my underwear, man.
Chief, hold on a second. Let me look here.
Oh fuck, he's famous. Fucking really, he's friends with fucking Dylan Francis. Freak. Yeah, we gotta let him go.
Yeah, so I'm back in handcuffs and I'm like, first thought that goes through my head is David Dobrik is gonna have a field day when he sees this.
I'm gonna have a good— and I am right now, you're on the podcast already talking about it.
This is great content.
Or did you think it was a prank being played on you?
Oh yeah, did you ever think that it was me maybe?
No, I could tell it was the real deal, because these guys were crooked. They were, you know, they were the real deal. I've dealt with this situation before when I was arrested in Miami for my longest sentence that I spent in jail. It was an illegal search, and that's why I got off.
But so they put you in cuffs, and then they started searching your house without them having a warrant.
Yeah, so I'm screaming at them, this is illegal, you're all gonna go down for this, I'm taking all your names. Of course, the usual, you know.
Duh.
And so the kid that was there, he was asleep.
So the guy was actually hiding there, your friend was hiding there.
I mean, yeah, he was just a scared kid, you know? Yeah, like, I didn't—
he wasn't hiding, he spent the night.
Yeah, I didn't know the situation. So yeah, he's now— here's these guys bust in, and undercover cops, you don't know if they're cops, you don't know if they're gang members doing a heist. A lot of our friends growing up, they would use that as like a technique to do heists because you just say you're a cop and people would be like, OK, OK, here's my wallet. Take my— whatever. Edit around this, please.
No, I like knowing about this. All right, go.
Yeah, so the kid is hiding and they have no idea. And they're just questioning me. They run my name. They find out about my previous arrests and probation felonies and all that stuff. All that good juicy stuff, right? And then I'm about to get let off, and then the door opens, and guess who it is? My parolee friend and my parolee dog in the jail outfit that we had for the video.
So Cody, who's recently released out of prison, walks into your apartment while the cops are in there?
Yeah, and he'll go to jail with any police contact, you know, like anything in a situation like that, they will just violate him and take him right back to prison.
So what happened?
So luckily, he was just getting Starbucks and he saw the cops. He thought it was another prank from you because you decided to prank him the second we picked him up from prison after a 4-year sentence.
Sure.
He thought it was another one of those, but how did you know, Cody, that it wasn't one of those?
Well, when I came into the house, I'm pretty well-rounded with law enforcement. I know how they look and I know how they act. And I seen their badges were tucked in, so I already knew they were corrupt and dirty to begin with. And as soon as I opened the door, the dog runs in and they were like, get the fuck out of here. And I took— no, I didn't even respond. I was like, okay, officer, no problem. And I left my friend Jeff for dead. I texted him when I was down the block to ask him if he was okay. And then I looked on the side of the building, I see two unmarked cars. One was a brand new Toyota Tacoma and the other one was a Honda Accord with tinted windows with no license plates. So I knew they were the real deal.
Yeah, yeah, you know, we knew that David Dobrik doesn't have the budget for these undercover cars, you know.
So they told him to leave, and that was a good thing because if he was there, he would have gotten in trouble. Yeah. Wow.
He had no idea, you know. This is him just coming out to stay with a friend. It's really like his only opportunity, you know. He didn't have a choice. It's not like he's gonna come out to, you know, shop around for homes up in the Hollywood Hills, you know.
100%. And then they found your friend.
Now they find my friend hiding as they're about to leave. They find him because he was scared. He was hiding behind a couch.
And your apartment's pretty small. I'm surprised that they didn't find him earlier.
Yeah, you know what? They went out on the balcony. They checked like all the hot spots, the popular hiding spots.
They checked the balcony first and they didn't notice him behind the couch.
Yeah.
Oh my god. Wow.
Yeah. Yeah, but you know what? Fuck him. This guy was a dick and what he did was illegal. So you know what? I already gave it to him in person. I was a little worried because I was in handcuffs, and every time I've been handcuffed, those handcuffs have never come off and said, "Okay, it's your lucky day." I've never experienced that up until today, so that was pretty cool. I thought for sure, I'm like, "All right, I'm gonna at least spend the night tonight," you know. But they took them off. They took my friend, and his charges weren't that serious, so he got out, you know, bailed him out right away. And yeah, things are good now and it's just another piece of content for David, you know. It's insane to me that this is what—
What's insane to me that this happened 12 hours ago.
Is it already 6?
Yeah, it's 6. It happened 12 hours ago. You had this encounter at 6 in the morning. I was napping. I was having a beautiful sleep dreaming about, I don't know what I was dreaming about, tooth fairies. And you're being—
I'm handcuffed in my underwear.
You're handcuffed in your underwear.
Dude, bye.
In your Hollywood apartment.
It's just insane that cops are so okay with this. Breaking the law like that, you know, like they just violated my rights completely. And now I'm here talking about it to how many listeners do you have?
A million.
That's insane. That's the craziest part, guys.

Cody, how— you've been out on the streets now 9 days. What's going on? What's it been like?
It's been a beautiful thing. I'm living sobriety. I'm enjoying the gym. I'm around positive people. And, um, Today was a little hectic, you know. I wasn't ready to go back to Cody.
Sounds like he's covering, like his parole officer is listening, but he's actually like— that's the real him.
And, uh, it's just a wonderful thing about good, positive, inspirational people. I'm just—
have you had any good meals or anything that's been nice? Jeff taking you to Malibu or anything?
I had Mashros in Beverly Hills.
Oh wow.
Um, I had In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A, a bunch of juices, uh, coffee.
How was Chick-fil-A?
It's bomb.
Yeah, better than— do you miss any of the prison food?
No.
No. Okay, so Chick-fil-A's better.
Well, actually, In-N-Out. I had In-N-Out in jail.
Yeah, you don't say that.
All right.
You guys been working out a lot. Who's in better shape now?
We're in different weight classes.
Okay.
He's 170, I'm 220.
This sounds like you guys argued about it before and just settled that we're in different weight classes.
Yeah.
Sounds like you guys really—
We go in there, let's just agree to disagree on this, okay?
Let me ask you a question. Why is it even close? Why does the weight classes matter? I outlift you, I outrun you.
Hey, I'm just stating facts. That's why they got featherweight and heavyweight. I'm more of a heavyweight guy.
Okay guys, let's take this outside.
I heard in the car that you run— you can run 5 miles and you run a 7-minute mile, and Jeff can't do that.
Okay, I'll handle that because we do plan on racing we've been doing runnin' and Cody's agreement makes sense. He doesn't have mountains in prison. It's all flat in there, flat walls, flat ground. And he didn't get to experience that type of training, like interval training that I do every day with Todd. So it makes sense that I smoked him on that. I almost forgot he was there. I had to think like, oh, shit, I came here with a friend. I got to go back and make sure he's all right.
Because you were going so fast.
I was going so fast, yeah. I just completely forgot that he was there. He disappeared. He was out of my sight. But you know what? It is nice having him around. He's extremely positive and motivating. He's sober like me. And it's good to hang out with other sober people like you. I love going on trips with you guys because we could go to Vegas and nobody is going to go sit at the tables and drink whiskey all night. And that will kind of— it won't trigger me. I don't crave it anymore. But it's not a good influence to be around. So it's nice.
Well, Jeff, I am glad that you I didn't get arrested. I appreciate that you came on The Views podcast.
I don't give a shit. I wish I did so I don't have to be here.
Thank you, Jeff. Bye. All right, guys, this next segment of the podcast is called Joe CineWee Podcast. It's where we give our editor friend Joe 25 seconds to say and do whatever he does in return for editing our podcast. And we're live in 3, 2, 1. Oh my God, so many people showed up tonight. Thank you guys so much for coming out to Madison Square Garden. Unbelievable.
You guys sold this place out in 25 seconds.
Do you want me to talk during these, or do you just want me to give you your time?
David, we're in the middle of a live podcast in New York. Can you please pipe down?
Guys, that was David Dobrik.
That's weird, bro.
You waste your fucking time, Joe. You waste your time with this. Well, that's all we have for today. Thank you guys for coming out. All right, that's all. Sorry, that was Joe. He's not coming back next week. Again, big waste of time. I do have some bad news, and I know you guys are probably like, what can be worse than that fucking teeny weeny podcast? Well, it's my friend Jason had to run, so instead I replaced him with a new co-host for the time, and it's celebrity DJ Dylan Francis. Dylan, say hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
That's good. Give them something that they could know you by.
Like, oh, bam, bam, get low when the whistle go, bam, ba-da-na-na-na-na-na-na.
Kill 'Em Francis. That's the guy. First of all, that song is huge. That's your song.
Yes.
You made that song with DJ Snake, but you take 100% of the credit, right?
No, no, 50%.
I'm kidding.
We both, we both put in our 50%.
So how does it— explain to me. I have so many questions about— first of all, my assistant told me to ask, how are you as a DJ? How long have you been DJing?
10 years now.
10 years?
Yeah.
When did you like— when did it When did you realize that was like, oh, this is your thing now? Like, this is my new job.
Once I was able to buy— or not buy— I was able to like lease my own apartment downtown.
Oh, okay.
But it took a while.
Yeah. And now you're making— you don't like talking about how much money you make. No, but I guessed I make it.
I make a fantastic living and I really appreciate everyone that listens to my music.
What is it?
Look, I just hate when people talk about money.
He makes $75 million a month. No, he makes good money. My assistant was wondering, what are your DMs like? What are DJs' DMs like?
I don't look at them anymore.
You don't look at them?
No.
No. What was it like before when you did look at them?
When I did look at them, there was some that were really, really funny, and then, you know, there's some interesting ones.
Was it a lot of people throwing themselves at you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How does that— how do you respond to that?
You know. You know.
Sure.
Okay. I know. Where's your favorite? Okay. What was your first big hit song?
My first big hit song was a song called IDGAFOS.
I Don't Give a Fuck.
Or Shit. And it was the reason it was so big was because Avicii, when he was alive, rest in peace, he had a radio show and he played it on this radio show and that's like how Oh, so Avicii gave you kind of your, your start to the whole thing? I would say Diplo did, but Avicii helped me like break into more of the European—
Oh, that's crazy. You've been doing this for that long and Diplo and Avicii have both been, both been around longer than you have. I'm not, I'm not saying that like to rub it in, but that's crazy because 10 years is long. How long has Diplo been doing it?
Diplo's been doing it for, oh my god, a long time.
Yeah. Who do you think's a better DJ, you or Diplo?
Diplo.
For sure. And when you're standing next to him and you guys are both pressing buttons simultaneously, can you— does he push them harder than you, faster than you?
Way harder and way better and faster and stronger.
So I'm assuming he's a better DJ because you think he's— he makes better music.
Oh no, he's a better DJ because his song selection and collection is incredible.
What makes a good DJ? Is it— is it the original songs you create or how you remix an older song?
Uh, I think, I think you're asking the wrong question.
Okay, tell me what I should ask.
I think you're asking what makes a better producer, because for DJing I think it's different, because like you don't, you don't really necessarily have to make originals to be able to be a really good DJ. If you can read a crowd really well and have a really good collection of songs where you're like, oh, I know what to play right now, that's going to make this, you know, go.
Oh, interesting. But then, but then I feel like if you're only remixing songs then you can't like build your own name, right? Because then you don't have like your own music that's coming out.
Yeah, you definitely need to have originals.
Do you do more originals or do you mix more?
I mean, I do both.
You do both? What do you like more?
I love both.
Is DJing— is DJing— paint me a picture because I've never DJ'd.
Yes.
Is DJing easy, difficult? Is it time-consuming? Is it relaxing?
It's time-consuming. You have to keep making edits, keep looking for new edits of songs.
What's your favorite song right now?
Probably Campfire by Aminé.
Okay, cool.
Or Blackjack by Aminé.
You don't like ABBA?
I love that. I love ABBA.
ABBA or ABBA?
ABBA. I'm saying it the way that you said it.
And you do— you include like throwback songs a lot? Do you mess with— do you fuck with the crowd? I've seen DJs do like—
Yes. Yeah, there's a video of me playing Turn Down for What, and right when it says Turn Down for What, I held the record so everyone's like, and then it goes—
what's your— what's your— what other gags have you done?
I've played Dancing Queen, which I told you. Yeah, I'll try to find a video of me playing it, but I have—
I don't get why people don't play that. Every time I throw that on at a party, people fucking lose it. Yeah, it's like— it's— I feel like a DJ.
I love that song.
When you have— do you— let's say you're on a long car ride. Yeah, I'm curious about this. And someone's just Do people automatically hand you the aux cord?
Yes. I say no, it's a bad idea.
Is that always your responsibility? Like, oh, Dylan knows what song to play.
Oh no, no, I won't take that on. I already take that on every night. I don't want to do it in a car.
That's the worst kind of fucking pressure.
Yeah.
Like when you play a song and then you're— especially when you look around. Yeah. When you're in, when you're in the front seat of a car and there's like a bunch of people behind you and you hit play and all you're doing is just listening to see if people go, yes, David. That's the fucking best. Every time, every time it happens in my Tesla, it's always with my friend Todd. My friend Todd, like, he really hypes me up. And like, when there's new people that come in my car, he goes, yo, wait till you go for this car ride. David plays the best music. He says that every time.
Really?
Every time we get in the car, he says that. And it puts so much—
sets a precedent.
He puts so much fucking pressure on me because now I'm sitting up front. I'm like, what the fuck do I open with?
But I'm like a DJ for your car.
Yeah, but Todd has like a really weak spot for Leanna Lewis, Bleeding Love. So I always start with that, and then he's just in a good mood.
He's— you've— I mean, that you basically are doing what a DJ would do. Yeah, you get on the crowd's side. Yeah, because once the crowd has heard a bunch of songs that they want to hear, that they're like, man, I like this guy now, he's playing a bunch of records I like, you can go anywhere with it because they're on your side.
Oh, interesting. Is that how you start off?
You legitimately just did what every DJ is supposed to do.
Oh, that totally makes sense.
Okay, so start off with songs that Get them on your side, because then you can take them anywhere. You could play the weirdest, stupidest song, but since they were like, well, he was playing amazing songs before.
Like, what song is always a hit for you? Like, what song is like this? I know this is gonna work. I just got to think about the rest of the music.
Always a hit is like Lemonade, or is that— yeah, that's what it's called, right?
Lemonade.
It's Lemon.
Beyoncé?
No, no, Lemon. It's Lemon. Sorry.
What is it?
It's the one with What's it called? Rihanna.
Um, put a pin in a lemon, not to make a man. Oh really?
That song, it like is a guaranteed every single person's gonna be like, oh yeah, okay, let's do it.
Have you ever been booed off stage?
Um, yeah, I, there was a fuck out. There was, I mean, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't leave the stage, so fuck them.
Oh really?
I stayed. It was a, I'll give you, I'll paint you the picture. It was this festival in Seattle and it was, uh, there, there are these type of people called wooks.
Okay. They're like the really super hardcore dance fans, like, like really crusty, like people, the guys that like, um, that make all the dancing videos at like festivals, like that, like they have cool dance moves or no, not like that.
Well, yeah. I mean, you know, there's probably some of them, but it's like, it was, it's very, it's very like heady music. Quote unquote, where it's like they don't want to listen to any pop music. If you play pop—
Oh, it's just like rhythm and beats. Yeah. Right. And like electronic shit.
Exactly.
Oh, interesting.
So I played We Found Love in a Hopeless Place because I thought it was really funny because we were in like the depths of Seattle. Like we weren't, we weren't in the city. We were out like 3 hours outside in a forest.
Yeah.
So that was pretty funny. And it was, it was actually really funny too. I still laughed on stage, but I remember like the song Hits out and everyone goes, oh no, get the fuck out. God, swear to God.
And that was the first song you played that was by a popular, like, DJ?
Yeah, they did not like Calvin Harris there at all.
Wow.
Yeah. And then I think I got a—
and then what'd you do? How'd you win them over?
You probably went into another song.
You played Lemon?
Yeah, before it came out. You guys are gonna love this record.
And okay, so you, and you just played another song and I played another song and that was it.
Yeah.
You've never been booed offstage. I saw someone, someone threw something at you.
Yeah. Someone threw a can, a full RC Cola can at my face at a festival and I had to get stitches.
Was it out of anger or was it out of support?
I think that they, that they were definitely like, yes, I love Lemon. Exactly.
Sure.
And then they were probably like, oh no.
Oh, did you have to get off stage then?
I know I kept playing and then the production guy was like, hey man, you're bleeding from your face.
Yeah.
Should go to the hospital.
You go to hospital after?
Yeah.
Okay. Stitches.
Stitches.
Oh fuck. I'm always, I'm also always curious about this. Cause I know like when singers or actors, like when they're sick, it's hard for them to perform. But since you don't have to sing, is it when you're sick, you have to play when I'm sick? Yeah. So you just go out, right? And does it suck or is it—
No, there's, there's like the adrenaline rush that you get from playing.
Forget about being sick.
Yeah, I don't have to sing or anything. I mean, my voice will crack for sure when I'm sick.
Yeah. Yeah. Do you sing? You don't make— No, no, you don't sing at all.
I don't sing.
Do you— How often do you have a show?
Every weekend in Vegas. Invite you every single time and you never want to come.
That is not true.
I have invited you to every single Vegas show and you're always like, oh man, well, LA is really nice right now. I don't know if I want to leave.
I'm in Vegas a lot. You play every weekend. You're playing in Vegas.
No, the weekend that you went went to Vegas, I think I wasn't there.
Okay, well, I'll go. When's the next show?
I go tomorrow and Saturday.
Oh dude, it's gonna be 75 here tomorrow. I knew it! What hotel do you play at? Give yourself a plug.
I win at the Encore. I play Encore Beach Club and XS.
Okay, and do you— you don't even need to worry about ticket sales?
No.
That's so fucking crazy. You know, I do, but But like, I'm just saying that. Not sure. No, no, I don't have to worry about it.
Please come to the show.
Um, and do you, do you enjoy it? I love it.
I mean, that's why I do it.
If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing?
Probably hanging out at this house more often, hopefully getting in some YouTube videos going.
Did you like the YouTube video we made?
Yeah.
Did you?
Yeah.
Or did you just say you liked it?
No, I loved it because you didn't show how bad Jeff and I did. I'm glad that you didn't show how bad we did.
For— in what? Oh, in tennis. Yeah. Oh yeah, I only showed that.
You just showed how good you are.
I just showed—
I was the good—
yeah, thank God.
Yeah, you were horrible. Dylan and I played. Dylan, actually, this was your idea.
I know.
Dylan challenged me to a game of tennis for $10,000, which is ridiculous, but I thought, whatever else, I'll take money from a DJ. I feel like that's fine. I feel like that's completely fine. So, so we did it. Dylan was maybe the worst tennis player I've ever seen.
Yeah.
And not only that, but he fucking smashed his racket.
Like, not even a set in.
Not even a set in. So we had to— so Dylan gave me the racket to play with, so I played with it for a little bit.
Still beat us.
And then Natalie had to go run and get a new racket.
Jason was the ringer. I didn't know.
Yeah.
Jason was great.
Yeah, Jason was good. Jason's not here right now, unfortunately. He's actually the co-host of this podcast.
I know, and now I had to fill in for him.
Yeah, he's out in Vegas. He's doing a show.
Goddamn it. I do— he's like, he said, man, what, LA is gonna be really nice.
He'll be back right before your show. Who's the most respected DJ in the space?
Probably Diplo and Calvin Harris.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Diplo. Okay, so I have a question. What is Major Lazer?
It's Diplo.
Diplo is also in Major Lazer? Yes. So he just didn't— he couldn't— he couldn't have enough with just being Diplo. He needed something else.
Yeah, it's just like you. You got a podcast?
I got a podcast, YouTube channel. I'm exactly like fucking Diplo.
Yeah, you are Diplo.
I'm going to be at Omnia this weekend.
Yes.
And I'm going to be performing with Jason on stage for 4 hours. Yeah, 4 hours just dancing. That's the only song I know.
Dylan, hit Dancing Queen.
Dylan's really good when I say Dylan, hit Dancing Queen.
I want to just— I want to have that in, in all your vlogs where you can say that at the end. And then somehow I'm exactly where I need to be and press play.
If I come to one of your shows in Vegas, can we somehow plan it where you play Dancing Queen?
I can make this song stop and go, uh-oh guys, the song stopped, and then David goes, hit Dancing Queen!
Oh my God, when's your next show?
Uh, this weekend. Don't worry, I'm gonna be there next weekend too, but what— in the weekend after that.
When this weekend? Friday?
Friday and Saturday.
Friday night?
Saturday? Friday afternoon? Saturday night afternoon?
Like at a pool party, man?
I'm just like Diplo, okay? I can't get enough.
Wait, can we, can we actually try that? Are you just saying that to be nice?
You can come.
Yeah, can we try the thing where— oh my God, the music stopped.
Yes.
Okay, that's easy.
Come on, I love fucking with the crowd.
Hit Dancing Queen. Yes, I'm so fucking pumped. Okay, Friday.
Yeah, okay, that's tomorrow, right?
Yeah, I'll be— I'll go to Vegas for it for sure. Okay, you promise?
Promise.
Okay, I'll see you there.
All right, perfect. I'll see you there.
Bye.
All right, bye.
All right, well, that's all the time we have for celebrity DJ Dylan Francis. Thank you for joining us today.
Thanks for having me.
It's been wild, it's been crazy. What are your social medias? Where should people find you? What songs should they listen to?
@DylanFrancis on everything. D-I-L-L-O-N-F-R-A-N-C-I-S, not with an E-S, okay? Please don't make a A lot of people make that mistake. I think so.
Hey, I have a question. You can tell me the inside scoop. Marshmello.
Yes.
Right. Why doesn't he perform at like 7 different places at once and just collect checks?
That's true. I also got another question for you. Why is he allowed to speak when he's DJing, but he can't speak when he's anywhere else in interviews or anything?
Oh, is that— is that the rule?
There's a challenge. Yeah, he can say 1, 2, 3, get your fucking hands up, but he can't talk to anybody when they interview him. Mic drop.
Mic drop. Thank you, Dylan Francis. My name is Jeff. I'll see you guys later. This is my Views podcast.
Bye.
