What's up guys? Welcome back to Views. We're here with Jason, Natalie, Natalie's sister Lauren. We haven't had Lauren here yet. Lauren, Lauren, say what? Lauren is another sister. It's not the zombie one. The zombie one's Bella.
Thank God. Some life in here today.
Yeah, finally.
Some energy.
A Maridueña that's normal. Dude, Lauren's panicking.
She's like, she's really nervous.
Say something. Oh my God, what the fuck? She almost puked.
Hi, everyone.
Dude, Lauren's really nervous. I don't think she's expecting this. Lauren, introduce yourself quick.
My name is Lauren and I'm a senior in high school and I'm really excited to be on the podcast.
Wow, really cool. A complete sentence, everything. Yeah, she's really like panicky right now. It's going to be okay.
I didn't know I was going to come until like 5 minutes ago.
I dragged her. She just came. She just did a college visit earlier today, which is why she's in town.
Or where are you going?
I visited Chapman, but I—
Oh, a good one.
I think that's—
I don't know.
I think I'm— or I have like— that's probably my fourth option.
Who are you? The smartest sister?
Probably. Honestly, she has the best grades out of all of us.
Really?
Like a 4.2.
4.2 in high school?
Yeah. Or is it less now? Well, it was last year.
Yeah, like something like that.
It doesn't sound like it right now. She's trying to be humble.
Sounding like a 2.8 about it to me. That's crazy. Okay. And then would you say Bella, the other one, is the dumbest? I'm just trying to put them against each other.
Natalie says she's like the smartest every time we have this discussion and the most athletic.
Hands down the most athletic by far.
You sure?
I feel like—
What? Have you seen my sister's? No, Ben's sitting right here.
Where did the smarts come from?
Yeah. Okay. Well, Natalie, you think you're the smartest. Is that just because you're older and you have a job? But other than that, I don't know. You definitely didn't have a fucking 4.2 in high school, dude. You're like a 3.6.
No, but my street smarts, just like my—
But that's because you're 30.
That's like— No, but I was like this when I was like 16.
You double your fucking youngest sister's age, dude. So it's like— It's like a very difficult comparison.
No. Yeah, you're right.
If she's a 4.2, it's— it's— there's no questions asked that you're— you're medium in the family.
Yeah. Okay, fine.
Okay. So I'm glad I can figure this out for you guys.
Thank you. I'm still most athletic.
What?
What?
Maybe most athletic, I guess. Okay. What's— do you play sports?
I dance, and obviously church league basketball is pretty intense.
So church league basketball—
she makes my poor dad go watch her church league.
No, they voluntarily come every game.
I know.
He said it's so funny. Every like Sunday or whenever they do the church league, My dad will send videos of like Lauren, you know, whatever point she gets during the game. And she's like, and he'll be like, that's our star. Like, he's so supportive and sweet. And I'm like, in my head, I'm just like, and I'll text him on the side. I'm like, I can't believe she makes you go and support these games.
Wait, what's church league basketball?
It's like you and you're like, well, it's like girls and guys are on separate teams, but like all the girls like have a team for their church or like, does it have like the different churches are competing against each other?
Yeah.
But like, I don't, I like, I play for the church my friends play at. It's like I don't even play at my church's team. But yeah. And then it's like kind of like rec, basically.
Wow. Okay. But is it like, is it like a churchy vibe? Like, is it— can you feel—
No, it's really intense. It's really intense. And if college doesn't work out, then I'm going to the G League.
So G League is the God league?
Like basketball? Like before NBA?
Like, oh, wait, hold on, you're actually— you're trying to join the WNBA?
That's the goal, obviously.
Why are you laughing?
David thinks you're serious right now. No, because she's like 6 feet tall. David thinks that she's going to the NBA.
I mean, yeah, I feel like that's just like, that's all you need, right?
Yeah.
How tall are you?
I'm like 5'11".
Really?
Yeah.
Fuck, you're probably just taller than you.
You're probably just—
no, no, she's a little bit taller than him.
You missed it by like an inch to be in the WNBA.
I mean, maybe with like basketball shoes on, I'm like 6 foot.
Wait, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Um, we were talking about this today.
I don't— I'm like trying to figure it out because like I have a— I'm in the— my major is political science, but I think I'm gonna change it once I get into like— well, I have like a couple things.
Would you ever study plants like Natalie did?
Um, maybe agriculture, become a farmer.
Actually, no, that's a crazy thing.
Actually, I don't know, Cal Poly is like super, like, I feel like agriculture.
Sorry, what would you change into from political science to what?
Uh, uh, I think business probably, and like go from there. I have like, I might do like sales, or maybe I'll take—
she has no idea what she's saying. These are all things we like fed her today.
Would you ever manage a YouTuber? Try to be a YouTuber?
Manage?
Oh, manage?
Sure, yeah. Okay, if you want to give me a job, then like, sure.
I mean, if you're smarter than Natalie, Yeah.
You looking to switch?
Yeah, I'm looking at someone that's actually 5'11".
Perfect.
Looking to get a new manager and a new podcast co-host.
Well, that's amazing. Thank you for joining us today.
Yes, of course.
Yes, of course.
Hey, hey, you know what this means? It's federal in there. Do kids say that where you are? Excuse me?
No.
My daughter said it to me the other day.
It's federal?
Like it's legit?
No, like we were going to go somewhere, but there were too many kids there after school. She's like, I'm not going in there, it's federal in there right now, it's federal. And I was like, what? Why can't we go there? Yeah, feral, federal, like federal prison.
Like everyone's too young.
It's bad. When I think of federal, I think of like official.
Yeah, yeah, they think that's what it means. That's why I was asking Lauren.
Okay, so she's— so that's not a good thing?
Not a good thing. No, a federal, right? It's federal right now, don't go there. You can use it too if you go to the club and you're like No, not too many young people in there. Zucca's federal right now.
That's what he's saying.
That—
no, that is what he's saying.
Federal. He's saying that it's too, like, jailhouse-y.
Uh, just maybe just too crowded.
Yeah, too crowded.
I think that's what it means.
You think his fucking 16-year-old daughter is saying it's too young in there, in a grocery store?
Like, yeah, like if she's like a senior in high school and there's a bunch of freshmen hanging out.
17. Wow.
In there, it's like, oh, that's fine.
Like, you're gonna—
you're gonna go to jail if you hang out with those young kids.
I don't know. No, bro, she's 17. She's a kid, you fucking idiot.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Okay, my bad.
Okay, anyway, so what I was— you know what I saw the other day, Jay?
What?
This is really interesting. Like, if no humans— if like there— okay, so obviously we have a bunch of different senses, right? 5. 5.
Yeah, a bunch of different—
well, I was like, it's either 5 or 6.
No, is it 5? It's 5.
I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, it's 5 senses. What's the Sixth Sense? That's a movie, right? Okay, so that would make sense cuz he has another sense. Anyway, so if you never had a sense of smell, or if humans didn't have a sense of smell, we wouldn't know that smell exists. Like, isn't that kind of crazy to think about? Therefore, how many things do we not have that we just can't interpret? Like, just think about it.
Like the sense of who's behind that door.
Yeah, we don't have that. Anything, like telepathy, or like seeing radio waves, or anything like that. It's kind of crazy that we don't have access to things that probably are prominent in this world, but we just literally do not have like the device to figure it out or find it. Isn't that crazy to think about?
Who's the most clairvoyant here?
Like, who is the closest to the Sixth Sense? Yeah, I think me.
What have you done that's—
I'm telling you, like, otherworldly. I could touch the ground, I could tell you who's in the house right now.
Shut up.
Yeah, and I could tell you where they're standing. Yeah, go. Okay, are you gonna look out the door?
Yeah.
Well, you need to grab the mic, dude. You just— I'm touching the ground right now. Okay, okay. Okay, so I'm touching the ground. Go ahead. All right, back towards the entire thing. All right, good.
Tell me where Brooke is.
Brooke is sitting in the great room on the Roachy Bubble Couch, Bubble 2 Couch, on the left side.
Okay, am I correct? Yeah. Where's John?
John? Yeah, John is sitting at the kitchen counter on his phone.
Oh my God, he's out of the kitchen counter, but he's now— he's walking to the kitchen counter.
Oh, sorry, I am a little bit ahead. He is on his phone though. He's on his wrong. He—
no, he was on his phone the whole time.
Hold on, hold on. There is someone sitting at the kitchen counter.
No. Okay, I mean, that's all I could see. Let me go see what else is on.
Wait, wait, wait. Taylor's opening a package. Taylor's opening email. Saying—
don't look, don't look.
Okay, okay. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Where's Alex? Alex?
Yeah, Alex would be—
see there?
Alex is on the cloud couch, uh, closest to the pickleball court.
Oh my God.
Where is he? Tell me where he is.
He's on the cloud couch closest to the pickleball court.
Telling you, I just feel things.
Okay, we got one more person in the kitchen.
Someone who just walked in. Yeah, I think it's—
they just walked in while John's on the phone at the counter.
So you're— you think it's— I think it's Frank.
Oh my God, actually. What the fuck?
Yeah, look. Yeah, I told you. You see that?
That's really good.
Yeah, I just have like a— I have like another gut feeling.
I got one last one, then we can move on.
Also, Frank's like never here.
Where's Taylor?
Taylor right now.
And I'm gonna call her.
Okay, call her. You're calling her?
Okay, where is she?
Okay, she's—
before she picks up—
she's in the first living room on the couch.
Where are you, Tay?
Tay, where are you exactly?
Yeah, in the first living room on the couch.
Oh my God, I told you. Jesus Christ, I told you. And it's—
and what is that?
I don't know. I have no idea where I get it from. It's a curse and a blessing.
Have you always had this?
No, not until recently. Wow. You know who used to own this house? Have we talked about this?
No, but you've managed to tell literally every person we know this weekend. Every time we're like, David just brings this up everywhere we go.
Well, well, wait, I think I have said this on the podcast. Walt Disney's brother.
Okay. Oh, no kidding.
Roy Disney used to own this lot. Wow. No one ever built a house on here, but then they built this. This is the first thing to build on his lot.
How random.
Kind of cool. Yeah. I've done like 2 house tours this week because like, you know, you know, like, you know how like those people that like come up to you on the street and they're like, if I had a million likes, could I hang out with you? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So 2 of those people came and visited me. And each of them wanted a house tour. And I literally felt like I was working on a museum because I was making the same exact jokes and I was like walking by the same things and I'd be like, this is the Kids' Choice Award. Did you know it's also a kaleidoscope? And then I'd walk by like my picture with Tom Cruise and I was like, this is my best friend Tom. I'd make the joke. And then I just, I was like, I hope these videos aren't edited the same way because it's literally me doing the same thing in different outfits. But yeah, I think it's kind of—
we all have our house jokes.
Yeah.
You know what I was thinking about? I was thinking about—
I thought I smelled wood burning. Am I right, Jay? All right, sorry, girl.
Okay, um, I was thinking about how, like— oh my God, it wasn't that funny.
I think we said it on the pod the other day.
No, the fact that he called it back. I thought I spelled it Britney.
Like, do you think an artist, a musician, a singer is like— they remember every song? Like, I'm just thinking about all the albums that some of these artists have put out, and it's like, let's say you like get called up on stage because you had a— you had a collab with The Chainsmokers or whatever. Now you're in Vegas and they want to like, they want to perform that song that you guys had together.
Well, okay, here's the thing.
Do you actually, do they actually remember all these fucking songs?
I think the answer is yes and no. Like Lil Wayne, have you seen, I've seen interviews of him where someone will read back a verse to him and he'll be like, who wrote that? And they'll be like, you did.
All right.
Oh, what the fuck?
Lil Wayne doesn't write anything down either.
Oh yeah, yeah, he's from the dome and he's made like over 1,000 songs, right? He's just like, he goes to the recording studio and records like 100 songs in one moment. Yeah. So he has no idea that he's written things. But even what's crazier to me, other than artists remembering their songs or not, I've seen videos of people forgetting their own lyrics. But what's crazier to me is like when an artist plays another person's song on stage.
Yeah.
Like, I don't get that. Like, there's not a song in my life that I know front to back. Without fail. I know the beats, especially because they're making the music. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you'll have like Shawn Mendes go on stage.
Yeah.
And like do a cappella, but like he'll do it so perfectly and he's doing all the music behind it. Like, are musicians just— is that just like another language to them? Well, like, how do they remember everything front to back? Like, and the melodies and the chorus and they're getting it right with the band that they're with. Like, how do they have to rehearse that for like a full 2 weeks?
Well, that I think for like for a tour. Yes, they're rehearsing. They're rehearsing whatever covers they're doing and stuff.
Are you sure? Because I feel like I see like artists like sometimes get on stage and then someone like from the audience will shout, can you please play a little bit of like Benson Boone? And then the person would be like, a cheerer would be like, does it go like— and then he finds it and then he like sings the whole song. Yeah, like how, how is that possible if he has— how can he pull from his memory like that if it's not playing? He's playing it.
I think that is like a super— some artists I think do have that like superpower where they can do something like that.
So similar to me touching the ground, And being able to know what's in the room, they can kind of tap into it.
Even just a slight step above your talents, I think.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know, I could, I could touch the ground, I could feel who the biggest bitch is in the entire room.
Oh shit, Lauren, watch out.
Back corner couch, movie room. I have to go to the dentist today.
Yeah, what's going on?
I'm really scared about— do you remember when I went to the dentist 2 months ago on the pod?
Yeah.
So I went to the dentist they had to— I got a root canal and they had to shave off 2 of my teeth in the back. So 2 of my teeth in the back are down to my gums. They don't exist. And I was supposed to go back the following week to put the top of my tooth back on. So it'd be even with the rest of my mouth, but it's been 2 months and I'm too scared to go back to the dentist that I've just not had teeth on my left side of my mouth. I've just like been chewing on my right side. 'Cause my teeth don't connect on my left.
Crazy.
So today I have to go back for the first time. But yeah, so it's going to be painful. Yeah, it's going to be really painful. I'm really nervous for it.
Goddamn. What's going on with your teeth?
Well, nothing. It's just the same thing that I've been battling with.
Hey, isn't it funny when you go to buy something and then the tip portion comes up and the person goes, it's just going to ask you some questions.
Yeah, it's funny.
I hate that. I didn't do anything wrong.
That's really funny.
It's going to interrogate you real quick.
It's always so awkward.
Yeah.
Yeah. No, the other day I got an Uber.
Yeah.
And then the last second I decided I'm not going to take it. I'm just going to have my friend who is sober drive my car back.
Yeah.
And, and he was like, I'm just going to cancel. I'm like, no, no, no, go do the ride and I'll tip you like 50% for the inconvenience.
Oh, wow.
So he just drove to my house on his own.
Wow.
While my car drove home. Like, you have to do that. She's like, I don't know. It's like, it's very difficult.
You could have just canceled. He gets paid anyway.
Uh, yeah, but he's probably looking forward to driving, you know, to the valley. So I was just like, just take it.
So you texted him, drive to my house?
No, I was in his car.
Oh, you already?
And then I asked in the car, I was like, is anybody in here sober? And one person was like, I'm sober. I'm like, oh great, can you just drive my car? And then I was like, I'm so sorry, we're gonna hop out right here, my car's here. And, um, yeah, he was like, it's no big deal.
But yeah, where were you Friday night?
I went to— was this Valentine's Day?
No, Valentine's Day.
Friday was not—
it was—
oh, well, so— well, but we did go to a Valentine's Day party. Yeah, we did. So our buddy has this like nightclub.
Is it hot in here?
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay, you want me to touch the ground and change the temperature?
Please, whatever you—
whatever you can do.
Our buddy has a like a club in his basement.
Oh, I've heard.
It's not even in his basement. What is it?
It's like—
it's like a guest house.
It's like he has in the ground.
This is where Natalie throws the money.
Yes. So he has like a strip club in there, a bar, like a public bathroom dance floor. The urinals are lips.
Wow.
Kind of cool.
Okay.
Like a mouth.
How many people?
Weird if you're describing it. It's more cute than it is like weird.
Yeah.
It's like a '70s retro toilet looking thing.
Yeah. And then the whole club feels very like '70s.
What time are you there at?
I like to get there really early. I'm always just like, this door is going to be impossible in about 2 hours. I picked up Natalie and her girlfriends at around like 11. I was like, can we go now? And And they're like, obviously, like, Natalie's friends are all really hot, so they're like, can stroll in at like 3 AM. But I'm just like, listen, I don't want to risk anything at the door, so can we just be there first?
All like us girls were in the back seat and David and Zane were in the front seat driving, picking us up, obviously.
Yeah.
And he was like complaining about like wanting to go now. And my friends were like, why would we go now? Nobody's there. And then David and Zane like realized that they were like— they were begging so hard.
We were like the ugly guys that are like worried about getting in the party. We need to get first. So like, it's—
yeah, but you show up with them, you're going to get in.
Uh, he also would get in just fine. Like, he just like panics for no reason.
It's not that. I don't like the— it's not not getting in. I don't like when there's a crowd outside the door and you're going to the security. Hey, yeah, I fucking hate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You skip a bunch of people, you skip a bunch of people.
Not only skipping a bunch of people, it's LA, so we know 80% of the people in line. Yeah. So it's like, David, Yo, pull me in.
Yeah.
And then I'm like, I look at them and I'm like, okay, let me see what I can do. And then I'm like pretending I'm seeing what I can do because I can't actually do anything. So I'm just standing by the door for like, like paying my respects to this person that can't get into the party for like 10 minutes. Just like being like, I'm here with you, brother, for 10 minutes. So on the other side of the fence, from the other side of the fence. So like, I hate that. I'd rather like get to the party an hour early, right? Not deal with anything and wait for people to show up. Than like—
So what happened? What time did you go?
We got there at like 11:40.
Okay, yeah, so on the earlier side.
On the earlier side, yeah.
And were you the only ones in there?
Um, no, actually it was probably the perfect time to arrive.
No, it was like literally the perfect time.
Oh, hell yeah.
No, and we were only there for like 2 hours.
We went to get drinks before at, um, The Addition.
Oh, nice.
And I had no idea about my license plate the entire time as I was driving to West Hollywood and from had "Eat my ass." So if you saw my last vlog, I got this like funny gadget on my car that if you hit it, it covers your license plate and you could put anything that's written over your license plate. So it covers it so you can like illegally go through like toll roads and stuff like that so they can't take a picture of your plate. It's super illegal. I would totally go to jail. And I had no idea, but it was down the entire time. So my entire plate had "Eat my ass" on it. Wow. And we were pulled over in West Hollywood waiting for them to leave the hotel, Natalie and her friends.. And so many people were pulling up to me like, David! And I was like, what's going on? Like, I'm like, people are really like saying hello to me today. Like, I don't know why I'm so recognizable. What's going on? And I realized that my plate was set to Eat My Ass the entire time. Yeah, I was really fucked.
Like, you could have got pulled over in West Hollywood too. That's like 100%.
It was.
And it would— and then it would have been kind of a difficult thing to explain. Not only that, but the plate under Eat My Ass, like the real plate, yeah, didn't actually match my car. It was my mom's Volkswagen because I didn't want it to be tied back to my car, so I used the fake license plate. Oh my God. So I would have gotten caught on multiple things. Oh my God. Um, so thank God I avoided that. But yeah, it was a good night. Went to the audition. We saw, um, this girl there who's like a really talented singer. I didn't know it was her. We thought it was her. No, Lola Tong.
Young.
Oh, oh, oh, that's from the fucking show.
Yeah, that's what— that's— you said that in person too, and I was like, oh, Lola Tong is here. And she wasn't, and I was so confused, but I just like let it go because it's Lil Young.
Yeah, the girl that was on the Grammys. That was so incredible.
Wait, what? Lil Young was there?
Where? That's what I said. Well, she walked by, I was like, that looks like that girl from the Grammys. And then we walked back around, I was like, oh wait, it was the girl from the Grammys. Wow, she was great. She crushed it. She sang at the Grammys?
No, she sang at the party.
No, no, no, she was at the party. She was just at the hotel. She was, she was at valet singing. Oh, she's like, I'm too messy. Whoa. Oh my God. It is you. No. Yeah, she was incredible. I think she's going to be like— no pressure to her. I think she's going to be like crazy big. Yeah. Because like the song's really, really, really incredible. But then watching her perform at the Grammys was like fucking next level. Yeah. She gave like the most like, like memorable performance. Yeah. Like it was like coming from her. It was fucking sick. So yeah.
Did you end up doing anything for Valentine's Day, Jay?
We went out Friday night, which was, you know, like, uh, not the best, but was— I didn't want to go out on Saturday.
Oh, was it really busy?
No, Friday was great.
Friday was great. Saturday was Valentine's Day.
We saw the movie on Saturday, but Friday we went out and we went to this club that has like erotic dancers. Oh, and, uh, is this a strip club? No, no, they just have like dancers that come out.
Like burlesque?
Yeah, like burlesque, but it's like so awkward. Oh, do you find that awkward?
Uh, I just don't know where to look. I'm always like trying—
you don't know where to look. Exactly.
You try to look at their heads.
Yeah, so they— we get there and we sit down and they sat us like away, away from like where the fun area was. There's like a non-fun area and then the fun area.
So you were pissed.
So I said, I go, is there any way we can sit in the fun area? And the woman was like, the pervert section. Yeah, yeah, basically. But I wasn't really asking that. And then she was like, I need the table back in an hour and a half. I was like, oh yeah, no problem, we go home early. Great. So she sits us right in front of the stage, which is great. And then I'm like having chicken parm, and then all of a sudden, like, two naked girls come out.
That would ruin my meal.
Are they naked naked? I mean, they're at least— They're like nipple-tassel naked.
Yeah, they're not naked, but it's something. Okay. And literally the girl almost kicked me in the face when she went up on the ring. And just like, I'm looking at Naveen, and you just don't know what to do.
So you like this, or you didn't like it? I mean, I don't like pretty girls around when I'm eating.
Ah, interesting.
It just like ruins my meal. It didn't do that to you?
No, no, I wolfed down the chicken parm. I mean, it was great.
It made you hungrier? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that, especially like naked people over my meal would be like kind of really scary. Yeah, it's like really hard for me to mix.
I, I like like a show happening. I don't like if they're like walking around like on top of you. While you're eating. But I like a show happening on a stage.
I wish there was a show that can guarantee no crowd work. I'd love to go set up. Yeah, like stand-up or like even like Blue Man Group. I used to like it, only went a couple times, but I was like, fuck, I hope they don't pull me up or like come and like play with my cheeks or something. Like, I've just—
I've never—
I've always been scared of crowd work. Like, I want to go to a show and just be watching the show. I know that's like Broadway or anything. Yeah, but like, I wish like comedians didn't do crowd work.
Maybe you need to face that fear and go sit in the front row at the Improv.
You think? Yeah. I don't know.
We should, we should go to more comedy shows.
Sure.
Like, I just feel like it'd be good.
I just like don't really—
I don't love stand-up.
Why?
I don't know why. It's like most of it I don't like. There's only like a few people I'll watch.
They've been doing it fucking 40 years.
But I don't know, do you watch an entire special?
No, no, no, no.
But like, of course not.
The one time I went to a stand-up show and I saw like Joe Rogan and like 5 other big comedians go up. I was blown away.
It was good.
Yeah, it was the first time I ever went to a stand-up show here and I couldn't believe it. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And Joe Rogan was fucking hilarious. He was hilarious. I was like, this is— I didn't even know Joe Rogan. I was like, isn't this the Fear Factor guy? Right? He was like funny. I was like, so confused. There's certain people I can watch like the whole show, but then most of them like, I just think like in person to see like a celebrity, like you're already kind of on their side for the first 5 minutes because you're like, this is cool. I've seen this person in real life. I don't know.
Hey, you guys got to go see this movie I saw Saturday night. Oh, which one? I'm so curious to see if you like it. It's the best movie I've seen in like 20 years. Best comedy. Nirvana the Band. Nirvana the Band, the show, the movie. Nirvana the Show, the Band, the Movie.
That's the title of the movie? That's the title of the movie, yeah.
Okay. It has nothing to do with Nirvana. It's just two guys, they're in a time travel movie, and it's so incredible.
Wait, wait, wait. They're in a— the movie is about two guys in a time travel movie, or the movie is—
it's two guys that are time traveling.
Oh, what?
It's on David.
Oh, I'm gonna love that.
I don't know if you'll love it because it is shot documentary style. So what's so cool about it is like, oh, it's a good idea, it's a documentary, but you don't know what's scripted and what's not. And it also has incredible CGI.
And are they going back to see Nirvana?
No, it has nothing to do with Nirvana. They just— they have a TV show called Nirvana: The Show, the band, the show.
Oh my God, I'm so confused. Is it meta? Like, is it Is it on— the guys in the movie have a show?
They had a show on Viceland.
Why are you saying they had a show?
Because it got canceled.
But the characters— is this scripted or non-scripted?
It's scripted, but some of it is unscripted. It's so hard to explain. Like, don't get mad at me, you have to see it. Like, it's like—
let me try to explain. Okay, go.
It's a scripted movie. Yeah, but then they also interact with real people.
Like Borat? Like Borat. Okay.
Um, and but there's also like incredible CGI, so it's like Avengers. Like Avengers, yeah.
So it's Borat meets Avengers and CGI done in a way—
Nirvana. Not CGI done—
But doesn't meet Nirvana. Yeah. They never even meet Nirvana.
They never meet Nirvana. They never mention Nirvana.
Okay, they go back in time to what?
To see themselves. Like, I don't want to give too much away either, but it's—
it—
you've got to go. I almost want to go see it with you, and if you don't like it, if you're not into it like the first 50 minutes, we can just walk out.
I mean, I'm sure I'd like it. I don't know. I'm down. I'll go see it today. Okay. And we could cut— how about this? We'll go see it tonight and we'll cut it into the podcast in 10 seconds. Okay. And that'll be my review.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Well, okay, next thing you hear is me after the movie now. Okay, Jason, I watched your movie.
You didn't call me.
What do you mean?
I thought I was gonna go with you. Oh, I texted you. I said, how was the dentist? You didn't answer, and then I got a late text from Nat. We saw the movie. It's weird.
I was—
I went to all the theaters, but I didn't see you. I must have not picked the right theater.
Well, I thought it wouldn't have made sense if you were there because then we couldn't have recap— we would have recapped. Okay. Yeah, right.
Yeah, yeah, go, go, go.
I can't wait to hear. Obviously very hurt.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.
I came home from the meeting and I was like, Dave wants to go to the movies tonight. Oh my bad. She was like, she was like, oh my God, that's so sweet. You're gonna go and you love that movie so much, and David said Did he go see it with you? Like a kid. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we're going to go later. I said, he's going to the dentist though, so I, I, I don't know if he's going to be— he might, might not feel like it, so it might not happen. So then I, I just figured you, you, you couldn't go because you were down from the dent.
Yeah, let's go with that. Great. No recap because I haven't seen it.
You didn't go?
No, I'm kidding.
Yeah, no, I want to hear, I want to hear.
Um, well, also it wasn't in our—
I can't wait to hear this because we have such different tastes in movies. And I'll say it again, it was the best movie I've seen. I know.
And in 20 years, you said best comedy?
Yeah, like groundbreaking comedy for sure. Wow.
Uh, go ahead. Yeah, I thought— I mean, we walked out and we were all in agreement. We're like, yeah, Jason Nash funny. Who'd you go with? No, no, no, that's not what we said exactly.
But who'd you go with?
Nat, me, Natalie, John, Julia Taylor.
Okay, great. Good group.
And well, let me also say we also watched it in a theater that wasn't ours regularly.
Which one did you go to?
We went to— it was like more of like a, like a small, like indie theater. Yeah, I don't know, like one of those theaters that's like, yeah, wait, they have popcorn?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, like they have IPAs maybe with your— yes, yes, yes. Yeah, it's very like small niche, 5 screens, whatever.
Yeah, I like that theater.
So yeah, yeah, so, so, so that added, I think, to the vibe of the movie. Okay. Like it was like, we're at AMC, here's my blue IC, here's my big large pop—
that's not my fault, brother. You could have gone to AMC and seen it.
It was, uh, yes.
Okay, it was playing there. Oh, so I guess the movie's cooking. There's no seats.
Well, at 10:30 they're all available. No, no, I thought it was really good.
You did?
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was really good.
Yeah, it was interesting. Like, it was definitely like very different.
Yeah, than any other one. I was trying to think, I was like, I wonder like what would I say if Jason made that movie and he like brought it to me? Yeah. I think I'd be like, that's right on the money. Yeah, I'd be like, that's right on the money what I would expect a funny Jason movie to be like, right? So I don't know if that's a compliment to you if you think that's the greatest movie of all time, um, but like, okay, so, but like in terms of the way it's done. Yeah, yeah. So for the people that have no fucking idea what we're talking about, which I feel like is a lot of people because this movie's kind of like under the radar.
Under the radar. I told people I saw it and they're like, you saw a movie about Nirvana? I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, okay, so that— okay, so the movie's called Nirvana, the band, the show, the movie. Yeah. And my biggest problem with it after the movie was the same thing I had before the movie. It has nothing to do with the band Nirvana. And Jason was explaining that to me when you heard on the pod, but like literally has nothing to do with the band Nirvana. Like I thought like that's the joke. Yeah. But it's not even the joke that they're named after the band Nirvana.
Yeah. They don't even mention Nirvana.
They don't mention the name. I don't know if that's like some like really like real meta joke I'm not understanding, or there's some significant meaning behind it, right? But like, that was throwing me off a lot because I was like always expecting there to be like some sort of reference to the fact that they're already— it's a time travel movie and their band is Nirvana. So I assumed we're somehow— we're gonna find out that at one point the band Nirvana didn't exist yet.
Oh, that would throw me too, or something, if you thought that. That sucked.
So the entire movie I was just like Where's Kurt Cobain? Yeah, I was like, why are they calling this Nirvana? Oh no. Yeah, which one's Kurt and when is this end? Like, I was very confused. If it was— if the movie was called 2008. Yeah. Or anything else. Yeah, I'd be so— I'd be so much more into it. Um, that just really threw me for a loop. But it was, um, yeah, it was like— it was a really, really, really good low-budget movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm glad I saw it.
You are? Yeah. I felt like too when I saw it, I was like, oh, Dave just has to see it. Even if he doesn't like it, it's good to see like what's out there and what people are doing.
Yeah, I thought it was fun. I like time travel movies. It wasn't the best comedy in 20 years. I think you're being like a little like—
okay, well, tell me—
recency bias.
Tell me, tell me a good comedy in the last 10 years better than that.
Okay, well, you just changed, you just changed it from a decade, so that's like not fair.
In terms of like groundbreaking, I think it is.
Yeah, groundbreaking. Yeah, like because it's like a low budget. I don't know, because they—
because it's like, it's like part Borat, part time travel, part buddy movie, part mockumentary, part— it's just incorporates all these things in a way where you're like, I mean, when they're up on the tower, are you like— you don't know if that's real or fake. You're like, whoa, yeah, yeah, that's amazing.
They have done a good job with it. It reminded me a lot of like, I think Chronicle. Oh, what's that? Or even Project Almanac. It's Chronicle, I think, is a superhero movie or like some sort of movie. Yep. Yes, a superhero movie where they're all— they're recording it on a camera. Yeah. And like they all get superpowers.
Yes, yes.
So like everything is kind of like, whoa, this is recorded on like a VHS, but they also have like— oh yeah, superpowers. So I thought that was interesting. Same with Project Almanac. Yeah, they discover time travel in that. Okay. And they record it all on a— on— okay, actually it's very similar to Project Almanac.
It is.
Not entirely because of the, the band concept, but yes, they are recording on a camera. Wow. And it's a time travel movie.
And did you— you must have loved that it was a time travel movie, at least. I did.
Yeah. I've been asking— I've been talking to a lot of people, like, not a lot of— I don't know what I'm saying like that, but like, over time I'll ask people what their favorite movie is, like, if I meet somebody or whatever, and a lot of people will say Interstellar.
Yeah.
And like, my first instinct will be to laugh, right? Because it's so mainstream. Uh-huh. So like, I think that people are fucking with me when they say that. Do you understand that?
Isn't that what most people say though? When you say, what's my favorite movie, it is a mainstream movie usually.
But like, Interstellar— like, Interstellar is great, in my top 2. Yeah. So like, it's also my favorite movie. Yeah. But like, I've accepted that I'm like a fucking loser when it comes to like— I will like them, you know. Yeah, I'm gonna like Katy Perry's Firework over Kurt Cobain's, you know, something like— I'm going to like the more basic thing. So I've accepted that. But when other people say it, I always say people are fucking with me. But I guess Christopher Nolan is that good. He's that good that it's like so— because Interstellar is so like, when you watch it, it's basic. Do you know what I mean? Yes. Anybody can, anybody can digest it. Not basic, but it's just, it's made for like the everyday viewer. Uh-huh. Do you mean it's not like this movie I just watched where like you kind of have to be like, you have to prepare yourself for what it is? And Interstellar is just like, you come in blind, you're like, big screen, big sounds, cool sounds, cool visuals. It's very easy to digest. It's like when people say, I get really confused. But yeah, I guess, I don't know, I guess Interstellar is actually as good of a movie as I think it is.
You said yes, yes, yes, it is.
And it has that whole part where it's like, but you know what I'm saying? Like if someone says Shawshank Redemption Yeah, I'm like, I get it because it's like older, but like Interstellar was like fairly new. So when like I was talking to like a person who was a film major, and so I was like, I'm gonna get something crazy, like they're gonna tell me something crazy.
Sure.
Like I'm just, I'm already getting ready to be like, I have no idea what that is. Then they said Interstellar. I don't know why this like bothers me so much, but I was like, ah, this is crazy. Christopher Nolan really is amazing that this film major that should be so snooty about it loves the mainstream guy. It's like asking— sorry, I'm sorry, it's like asking, like, I don't know who, like, like asking, like, the most hipster person you know who your favorite YouTuber is, and they go MrBeast, you know? Right. I don't know, it's like, really? The biggest and the best? Yeah, you like the best guy too?
But isn't it harder to make, like, a A movie for the masses? In other words, you saw that movie last night, and I get it, it wasn't like totally your jam, but I think it's much harder to make something—
a movie for the masses—
that everybody likes.
But I also think like that's like what happens when you make a movie for the masses, is that like, is that, is that a bigger portion of the group wants to turn on it? Oh, like I think that's how it usually is. Like, you know, like with Wolf of Wall Street, like Wolf of Wall Street, yeah, doesn't survive the same test that Interstellar does when you look back at it. No, no, no, no, no. Like, it's great, but like when it's mentioned in conversation, it's scoffed at more than Interstellar is. Because Wolf of Wall Street is like— because of what it's about, I think it's like, it's like tied to like a fraternity-style movie. Yeah. So like when like people— when people like say that's their favorite movie, yeah, I've seen it in conversations where people will kind of laugh and giggle. Like, oh, you must have not seen a lot of movies. But like, that didn't happen with Interstellar, and I thought they were all under the same umbrella of like greatest all-time movies, but you don't say them in conversation.
Wow. Interstellar is still like pretty highbrow, or it feels like sophisticated and intellectual of you to be like—
for that. Yeah, but that's just like kudos to fucking Christopher Nolan. I don't know, I'm just blown away by this guy. Day after day, I'm like more and more impressed.
You see the trailer for The Odyssey before?
Um, I saw the— right before Interstellar, they played like 10 seconds of— or sorry, like 5 minutes of it. Yeah. Did you see that?
Yeah, when I went to your—
wait, what did I just say?
You said Interstellar, but when I went— I meant Avatar.
Yeah.
Oh, when I went to the Nirvana movie, they showed the, uh, the Odyssey trailer, the 5 minutes of it. It was pretty long. I don't know if it's 5 minutes, but where they're storming the city.
Yeah. Oh yeah, that's probably the— yeah, yeah, before Avatar, they were showing like 5 minutes of the actual film. Oh, really sick.
No, this was a trailer. Did you get popcorn?
Um, no, I didn't get popcorn. Luckily, then next to the theater was a Chipotle, so we all just snuck in Chipotle. Yeah, it was really nice. But yeah, I don't know. Odyssey, my only gripe with Christopher Nolan, yeah, is, um, just the movies sometimes are too dark and sometimes they're too loud.
Uh, dark visually or dark content-wise?
Dark visually. Like, yeah, like he makes them so dark where it looks like you're actually looking out your window. Like, he makes them so realistic. Yeah, where it looks like you're like looking out your window and it's like a night scene.
I had trouble during, uh, Tenet.
Tenet, you can't, uh, Tenet, you can't hear. Yeah, Tenet. And then what's that, the new one? The new one, the one with the nuke.
Oppenheimer.
Yeah, you can't hear shit. You need subtitles for that movie.
Yeah, yeah.
Isn't that funny? When we go to movies now, you're expecting a subtitle because you watch Netflix so much. Right. With subtitles. Or maybe it's just me, but I don't watch the subtitles ever. You don't? Wait, why? I always watch with subtitles.
No. Yeah, I never do.
How can you not watch a movie with subtitles?
I just lock in on their mouths and what they're saying.
Really?
Yeah. I'll even— the other day I was watching a movie and my subtitles got fucked up and I couldn't fix it. I would try to reset my TV and everything, but they were ahead by 2 scenes. Yeah, subtitles were. Yeah. And I still couldn't take off the subtitles. Even though they weren't matching up at all with what was being said. I just like kept them on just because like they were like comfort. It was like it's like a little blanket that's like, that like tucks the movie in underneath. I don't know. I just feel like you need it.
I just feel like it ruins it sometimes.
Well, I get it. I get it. Because you're not even like really looking at the actors. Yeah, but I think like just like when you're watching something on TikTok and there's like those subtitles that make everything just like, well, that's if you really can't understand it. It's like stimulating. I'm saying like it's just like you're reading it Yeah, and you're kind of watching it, right?
I saw a really funny— I saw a really interesting story just now on Instagram. It was so interesting. It was like they did these tests on mice like a long time ago. They made like a mice utopia. They started with 4 male and 4 female, and then the mice bred, obviously, and they had all the food they needed.
And bred is such a nice word for fucked, because what they did was they all got horny.
And they had— yeah, if I said— just said fucked, that would be like J.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't like when someone says, I pissed.
I hate—
I went and peed.
Oh, I hate better— I hate when— I hate when guys are around girls. Yeah. And they're like, I'm gonna go take a piss.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I think that's—
or if a girl says, I'm gonna go take a piss, you're like, well, that is crazy.
Yeah. Also, like, it's weird that everyone pees, isn't it?
Uh, yeah, totally.
Like, like sometimes I'll be like, I think there's something worse that we do, but No, I don't even want to say that. But sometimes I'll be at a bar, it'll be like guys and girls, and I'll be like, I don't want people to know that I have to go pull my penis out of my pants and point it at a hole in the ground. Do you know what I mean?
I mean, yeah.
I find that so weird.
So you don't tell anyone when you're going to go pee?
I do, but I'm just like—
I got to go pee. Is that what you say?
I got to use the restroom.
I got to use the restroom.
Yeah. Anyway, sorry. Back to your fucking mice.
Anyways, these mice, they're in a mice utopia.
Sounds like it. 4 guys, 4 girls?
And they start breeding, you know, and it's like this awesome utopia, but eventually the mice all die out because the guy was saying it's like there was like social— there was like so much— it was like too much stimulation, like too perfect. So he was comparing it to what we do with like the internet now where it's like people are— and what happened was like the male mice would just drop out and they became very vain. And they stopped caring about the women entirely. And the same thing for the female mice too. And so he was comparing it to like the internet now. So like when you're on Instagram and stuff and you see like, oh, this person's doing this, this person's doing that, and it makes everybody just kind of like—
too much stimulation. Yeah. Like, because they were— oh, okay. So there's more to this. Everything, this— everything a mouse would ever need was in this colony.
Yeah. Like, same for us, for the internet. We have everything we need. Yeah.
But I'm saying they had like cheese balls, wheels, they had everything.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Oh yeah. Little laser pointers to chase around, like work for anything.
It was all provided. Okay, sorry. And then what is that? What does that mean to humans?
He's drawing the comparison to us right now, the time we're living in with the internet and seeing what everyone's doing on Instagram and feeling like you're not good enough. And the other day when, you know, that woman was into your friend and not you.
And what, when did that happen? Oh, the celebrity crush thing. Yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah, I was trying to bring it to a place where you could understand it.
No, no, no, I was understanding. I just want I just find it also confusing that mice have that much similarities with humans.
Yeah, yeah, it is funny. Yeah, they go and test on mice and you're like, well, we're not mice.
Yeah, yeah. I can't imagine that it has that many layers of emotions.
But imagine if we didn't have the internet now. I mean, don't you feel like a little— I do feel like I don't have the bonds that I had earlier in life. A little bit.
And then maybe that's just my age, but yeah, I feel like that has a lot to do with age.
I don't know. I think it's just time.
You feel pretty good with the internet and your, like, my connection with your real life?
Yeah.
You feel like a good balance between your internet life?
I mean, my life's changed so much from when I was like younger that it's like kind of impossible to— right? Like, I was outside all the time. All the time I was outside.
Right.
And then when I was inside I was playing COD with my friends, like online. So I was like always connected.
Yeah.
I had my own little version of social media. But yeah, it was very different than like now. I live with those people, so I still see them all the time. Yeah. And I'm on my phone.
Yeah, that is nice. You do have so many people coming through here too. It's so nice.
Yeah, but I think it like fucks me up.
How so?
Because I don't leave the house.
Where would you go, right?
Yeah.
You don't leave the house.
I met somebody the other day, like a girl, and she was like, we should go do like something cute, like go on a hike. And I was just like, I just, I was just like, I was like, listen.
Oh no.
Well, I just told her, I was like, I was like, I'm so sorry, but like, I just like don't think I'll ever be able to do that. Really? I just like couldn't even like waste my time. Like, because normally I'd be like, yeah, let's do something next week. I was like, why am I gonna fucking lie? I'll just be like, probably not.
But you're, you used to go out all the time when you were a kid. Why wouldn't you want to rekindle that within yourself, even if this— whatever this person is.
I just like get FOMO leaving the house. There is a lot going on here. Like, why would I want to leave? Um, also like, I'm just like really comfortable here. I like finding parking in LA isn't necessarily like— do you like— like in Vernon Hills, if it's like, hey, I'm gonna go to Portillo's, you're parking. Going Lifetime, parking. Tennis Club, parking. Everything. And that's like such a big part of it. Yeah. Like, I don't want to— I don't like valeting. I don't like, like, I don't like parking my car on the street and like making sure my rim doesn't scratch the car.
Uber.
I hate not driving. So I think, oh, that actually, you know what, that actually may be a big reason why I don't go out. I've never even really thought of that. I think it's just like, I think it's like the convenience of it. Cause like the place I will go out a lot is there's this indoor pickleball place and it's like at a warehouse. So the parking's pretty okay. Yeah. And like that, I have no problem with going to, even though it's 15 minutes away. But I think parking has a lot to do with it. Yeah, I'm not sure.
I listen.
Let me wrap this up by apologizing by not inviting you to the movie.
That's okay. I was tired.
You don't have to tell yourself that. I know you were waiting and you had no— there was a point where I was like, did you go buy snacks to sneak them into the theater already? Were you that ready? Yeah. He went to bed early. Yeah. Give you a kiss. Good night, Jay.
Went to CVS to get cheaper snacks.
Jay, I know you have a big night ahead of you. I'm gonna go to bed now, okay? You just wait for Dave and it's gonna be a great time.
Staring at my phone, just waiting. Is that— oh no, it's just an email.
Fuck it, I'm just gonna drive there. I'll meet him there early. Um, no, I don't know. I thought about it, but I— it was genuinely because one, we didn't know if we were gonna go. Yeah. And two, wasn't the good theater, so I was like, I'm just knocking this out for the podcast. Yeah, like, it did feel like you stay the whole time. Yeah, you did. Yeah. But I don't think any of us, like, really wanted to go. But like, Natalie was like, okay, I see the vision with like going for the pod. So like, that's why we went. But next time, movie night with Che.
Why didn't you leave? No, no, no.
We like the movie.
Yeah.
Okay. But it was just like getting there was like, it was raining and cold.
All of us kind of wanted to go to bed, but like, I gave you a task. No, it is good.
No, you fucked us. Yeah. I turned on you. All right, guys, that's all the time we have. See you guys later for the next Views podcast. Go watch Thursday's daily pods— daily vlogs, daily vlog, sorry. And go see Natalie somewhere.
Yeah, I'll be filming with Natalie on Wednesday at 10 AM, hanging pictures.
Oh, so we'll expect that one up Thursday.
Yeah, vlog coming.
