Getting My Dream Job With David

What's up guys, welcome back to Views. Let's address the elephant in the room.

I'm not that heavy.

Jason, how was your week?

Jesus Christ, I'm kidding. I did get on the scale yesterday and I was at 216. You were 216 with pants and a phone on and shoes.

Your phone is not—

I was confused. I was like, do I weigh this much? I was at the door.

Is my phone 50 pounds?

I was at the doctor's. I do have the Max, but I was at the doctor's office and they put me on the scale and I was like, shoes off. Like, no, no, you're good. And then I'm like, uh-uh, and then they put me up there like a damn elephant. And, and then they were like, okay, really? Yeah.

And then you asked them to take the shoes. Did you notice that TSA is like getting less and less weird about shoes and stuff?

Like, yeah, they're getting more lax for sure.

They're getting really lax. Did you see that? They're all— they're also about to get You're in, I think at SFO, you're about to buy a pass that gets you through the airport if you're a buddy. Like if you're traveling some, if you're going, like if your friend is flying out, you can take 'em all the way to the gate.

Oh.

Which is really crazy.

Buddy pass.

For what reason would you wanna do that?

Just like, well, there's a lot of people that get to the airport like 4 hours early. So like if you're like seeing somebody, if you're saying goodbye to somebody, you don't see 'em once every 3 years. Like, I think that goodbye moment is worth a lot. So I think people will pay like $30 just to get to the next stage. We have like a— we have a guy who's really well-connected in the Philippines.

Yeah.

And when we were getting dropped off to go to the airport, he— the security literally put a lanyard over his neck and was like, you're— and he walked us all the way to the tunnel, like to the bridge that connects us to the plane, like through security, everything.

Wow.

And like the TSA agents were like, you're They were like, your dad would kill us if he knew we didn't help you. He literally walked us all the way to the plane.

It was fucking wild.

Okay, so here's the elephant.

Yeah.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

No vlog this week.

No. What's going on?

No vlog next week either.

Yeah.

Let's go.

You're meant to be doing you. That's what I'm saying. No vlog, man.

No vlog.

Why?

Just chill. Don't do it. Just chill. Do the pod. Hang with me. Come into my daily vlog once in a while. You got plenty of money. You don't need to stress.

Okay. Okay.

So how do I address this?

Because there's ways I can make excuses.

Yeah.

I can chalk it up as multiple. What should I chalk it up as? Should I tell them what we're thinking and how much we've been brainstorming here?

Like future plans?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay.

I think it's like a safe space to talk. We've talked about future plans a lot.

Sure.

Listen, like, like when I started doing these vlogs again, yeah, I knew it. I knew it wasn't like a forever thing.

I'm not stopping vlogging.

That's not what I'm doing.

Yeah.

I just like really want to do something new. I like, I don't love, I don't love editing them because like every time I sit down, I know what I have to do.

Like, I'm just like, it's just like, it's like, it's like, I know where the video has to get to. I don't know. I'm having this, like, I've complained about this before. I'm having this problem when like someone has like the dream job, but they've done so many of them. Yeah, like every time I watch Conan or Kimmel or whoever retire, or somebody, Letterman retire, I'd be like, why the fuck would you retire from that job? Yeah, and it's because like, it's time to do something new. And I'd be like, fuck you, dude, you have the dream job. You're, you're fucking David Letterman, you're Jay Leno, you get to do this like all day, interview celebs and have fun, play fun games, beer pong and stuff. Like, why would you change it up?

Um, like beer pong and stuff? Yeah, like, do any of them play beer pong?

I think Fallon has a beer pong.

Fallon has like a beer pong sketch. Um, but like, I always thought that was like really fun. And, um, and yeah, I don't know. So I'm really aware, uh, so I'm really aware, like, I don't want to become that guy that like leaves his main thing and starts something new and it's shittier.

Yeah.

But like, and that's like been my biggest fear of all time.

Like, don't ever leave your like main thing.

I know. I have that fear too. Yeah.

It's like really scary. And I think Hollywood has this, like, Hollywood has this big problem that like, I feel like it kind of like puts on you. And it's like a lot of people here aren't creatives. A lot of people here are like business people, and a lot of people brainstorm new projects using names to start with. Am I, am I making sense with what I'm saying?

100%. You think of a movie, you think of it, you say, I'd like Jason Bateman in this.

And you think of the name before you think of the idea.

Yes.

People, people in, in Los Angeles, like there's there's more business people here than there are creatives.

Okay.

At least, at least, at least at the higher part of like the games, right? Like the people running all these like networks are the people that are like business oriented. And I think a lot of the people think like, like, okay, um, there's a, there's a tennis player named Jannik Sinner. Let's do Dinner with Sinner. Like where Sinner sits down, has dinner with people and interviews them. And they'll be like, that's a great idea. But like, Sinner doesn't want to sit down with people. Like, and that's maybe not the best idea.

Yeah, but also like another, another name before the idea situation that's happened in my life. Doughbrix Pizza. Yeah, that was a clever name. And then we're like, let's do a pizza place. That's how our manager used to think, right?

Jack Reed. Yeah.

Super into names.

Super.

Like when he thought of a creative name.

Did he think of Doughbrix?

I don't know who thought of Doughbrix.

Maybe.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I think he thought of the name Dobrik's.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think, I think I credit him with that. Um, but yeah. Okay. So anyway, I think I'm like going—

No, get, get to the, get to what you're trying to say.

Get to the point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What I'm trying to say is I'm moving to Fort Myers, Florida. What I'm trying to say is, is I started the vlogs again because I wanted to find something new to do.

Yeah.

And I'm not saying I figured it out. But I'm saying I want to try something new again. Yeah. And that is— I don't actually want to tell you what it is quite yet.

Oh man.

No, no, no. Fucking lead up to no.

No, no, it's not a lead up.

But it's basically what I'm trying to say is we've been taking this time to brainstorm something. It's still going to be something on YouTube.

Yeah.

And I want to be putting out more stuff than I have before.

Yeah.

I just, I can't— like, this vlog idea is just not sustainable. I don't know why.

Right.

And most of why I don't love doing I'm doing the vlog stuff is because I feel like I've gotten to the point where like, like we'll go out and like I'll give up on bits because nothing funny is happening and I'd rather just like hang out and like capture funny moments.

Right.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like we'll be like, like we'll be like, we'll find a lot of times we'll be like in a bus.

Yeah.

And like I'll take out the camera because I'll be like, the lighting is incredible in this bus for some reason. So let's get a bit here, please. And then we'll like ramble and we'll like talk to each other. Nothing's happening. And I'll like give up filming. I'll be like, fuck this. But like, really, I wish we were just filming on the bus for 40 minutes and just shooting the shit and just like, if we found something that was like kind of funny, like, that's it.

Yes.

And like, I hate shooting for gold because like, it like ruins all the silver. And I don't know.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, of course. Of course. It's just like not a natural way to do it.

It's not a natural way to make. And I want to make videos again. That are more natural. I want you to spend more time hanging out with us in the videos.

Sure. Yeah.

So like, this is good news. Like, if you're like, if you're, if you like us, yeah, you'll enjoy these new videos more.

Nice. How long, how long will the videos be?

I think it'll be like 10 minutes a video, and I think they're going to be more frequent than what they are now. And I think I'm going to, I think I'm going to do it in spurts. I'm going to do a lot of videos in 3 months, take a month off, do it again in 3 months. And I think that's what I want to do. And we've been like brainstorming how to do this properly.

And what'd you come up with?

We haven't really, but we're close.

And there's going to be a certain day we're going to start doing these videos in the next 2, 3 months. So it's very soon. But these videos will take a lot of planning, not because there's some like— not because we're like making like movies, but like because every video I want to have like Every video I want to have like a purpose.

Like, like what kind of purpose?

Like, okay, like one video will be going to Cape Town, right? I've said this before. Or one video will be going to Hong Kong. And then maybe the videos that are here will be like, I'm throwing a pool party. Yeah, but it's like everything about throwing the pool party. Do you know what I mean? It's like all angles of it.

It's not—

I don't, I don't like that the vlogs have gotten to I don't know, I just don't like watching video. Everything on YouTube now is like, we're here and here's the money. Like, it's just so quick.

Well, it's—

it's—

I was watching a YouTube video the other day. Everything has to be problem, solve it, problem, solve it, problem, solve it.

It's like—

that's literally like the way that the videos work for a lot of people. I was watching like the best YouTubers talk about it, and they are constantly setting up something that's happening and solving it, and that's what keeps people watching. So that's what— that's what you're getting.

Yeah.

And I think I want to like try something else where like we keep people watching just because they're having a good time.

Yes.

Not because there's some kind of like algorithm behind it. So that's why when you ask me, like when I'm asking myself, I'm like, what the fuck is this video going to be? I don't really have like an idea of what it's going to be.

Yeah.

But like, imagine my vlog and this is going to sound so bad. People are going to be like, this sounds horrible. And I agree. It sounds horrible when I describe it this way. Like imagine my vlog meets the Zilladox.

Yes.

Meets a vlogger that has like a guy following him around with a camera.

Yeah.

Meets, uh, doc, just like a docu-series. I don't know. I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But just like a high, like I don't know what it is. And that's not saying that I'm going to create something brilliant that doesn't exist yet, but that is the goal. That is the goal. The goal is to like, to make something that I don't know what it is.

Kind of like what the Wonder video looked like, like 14 minutes and you're all in different places.

No, the Wonder video was like OD. The Wonder video was like we went to China and we used 2 seconds of it. Like, oh, I think it's almost a little bit opposite. It's almost—

it's like, um, dude, I really don't know. I think it's like we're gonna shoot— I, I think I'm gonna get like 6 of us, and instead of putting the money into a big surprise at the end of the video or someone gets a car, yeah, I'm going to put put the money into like production of the video.

Okay.

And I want to do it so like I'm in front of the camera.

Yeah.

So is Ilya, so is Jason, Matt, whoever. And we're filming 4 times a week.

Yeah.

Posting once a week, 10-minute videos. And it's a really quick turnaround. And it's like people are really living each week with us.

Yes. For those 3 months, Naveen and I have been out shooting every day and We just film and we just put the best stuff that we think in and people love it. It's great. That's all people want.

Yeah. I want to like get back to like what made me want to make videos in the first place.

Sure.

And that was just documenting my life.

I like, like the pool party idea. Like, that's my favorite kind of video.

Yes.

And there's like, John can't— John can't get the floaties blown up.

Yeah.

You know, whatever it is.

Not exactly that. Like, I'm not going to bore you to death.

No, but if it's funny.

Yes, yes, yes.

John can't get the barbecue to work, you know, and it blows up or whatever.

But like, The two things that I want from this is like, the reason I started making videos is 'cause I just loved being able to look back at my videos and see where I was, what I was doing at that time. And like, I don't think the vlogs are necessarily that anymore. Like, I'm not like—

Why did you make them so stringent?

Like what?

Like you make them so short.

Like compact?

Why would you go to China and only use 2 seconds?

Because I like that.

You do?

Like, I like making the video. I just don't think that if I could make that video all day, the fucking Wonders video or whatever we did, the transformation video, I would.

Yeah, I just like—

there's not more Wonders left, so for that concept it doesn't really work. And like, uh, I just don't have like a budget to fucking do a Wonders video every week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but like, originally I made videos because I was like, I'm filming every day 'Yeah, and I'm going to just like show you what my life is.' And I don't think it's that anymore. Like, now it's become like, 'Okay, like, like, what, what's the bit and where am I going?' Like, what, like, what's the bit and what's the joke? And like, it's like more like thought out now. And I don't want, I don't want it to be that.

No, I don't like that either because all my bits get thrown out.

Yeah, yeah, your bits get thrown out.

I had a good bit on the plane in the Swedish video, and it— I think I even agree with you.

I was like, 'Yeah, it doesn't fit.' I think I'm still gonna to use that.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll use it at some point.

But like, but like, yeah, like, like so many things happen. I also like cut to when I laugh. Yeah, like I, I cut to when like the funniest moment is where I'm actually laughing in a video out loud. But there's so many things that, that happen that like you say or Zane says that are incredibly funny, right? But I just don't laugh because maybe I don't have the energy at the time, or like it's just like, asshole, we're literally working so hard trying to get a joke. No, I know, but it's like, but it's pathetic. And then I look, look at it, I'm like, well, there's no like laugh at the end of this, but I like, but that's okay not to have a laugh. No, I know, but like, that's why, that's why I want to make like a video that's 10 minutes, like you're just hanging out and maybe the joke isn't as clear. Like maybe I'm not clarifying the joke by laughing at the end and like, and the person watching can be like, that was funny what he just said, and it cuts the next thing.

Yes.

I also am very well aware that LA is a very interesting place to live. Yeah. And people want to see us hanging out here.

Yeah.

I'm not like, I, I, a lot of people like when I say when I say I want to travel more, like, a lot of people are like, well, you live in such an interesting place. And I've known this and I always know this. Like, like I even say, like, people be like, why don't you move to Tennessee? Not Tennessee. That's like shitting on Heath. But like, why don't you move? Why don't you move back to like Chicago? And I genuinely think it's because less people— I think less people would be interested in my life because it's just like, this is just a guy that lives where I live now.

Sure.

I think L.A. is so interesting.

We've been going around every day doing something. There's so much here.

There's so much to do there.

Also, I think like, I think like you've got to bend a little bit and be a little bit more like out of your comfort zone. Like when we go camping, like we got to stay camping, you know what I mean? Like we should do it for like a couple of days, you know, not just one night.

No, no, I agree.

You know, like, like you should bend and you should like go out of your comfort zone. And like when Natalie says— when Natalie and I say like, yeah, like let's do this.

I'm never going camping again.

But yeah, but it's such a good setup for— you got such a good video when we camped.

No, I understand. I just like, I hate camping. I totally get that it's a good video. It's just like, we've done it. Thank the Lord we've already done it. And so I'll never go camping again.

Um, no, I hear that.

All right.

And yeah, I think, all right, we'll go to the— so if you have suggestions, yeah, I just think that the common theme, especially like, I, I, I'm— big thing is I hate holding the camera. I hate holding the camera. I've said this before in podcasts. Like, I just think One, I just don't like— I don't think it allows me to be as creative behind the camera. Okay. I like being in front of the camera a little bit more now. I like being able to play with my hands. I like being able to touch Ilya, hit Ilya. I like being able to interact with people, like more so when I'm in front of the camera and there's not like that wall between me and the person I'm talking to.

All right.

And I just—

I don't know.

I'm just— I'm getting older. I want the videos to reflect that. And I don't— I don't know. I don't know what I— I don't want it to look like discovering David Dobrik. I don't want it to look like some fucking Nat Geo documentary. I don't want it to look like— I don't want to compare to YouTubers because I don't want to like shit on them. And we may not get it done, like we may not get it down the first video, maybe not the second, maybe not the third, but like I just want to try something new again. Um, so yeah, so no video this week, no video next week. I'm going to post— I'll post the videos in prop— honestly, give me 2 more weeks, I'll post post the video. What can I promise? On the 5th?

Sure.

Okay, I'll post the video on the 5th, but just like, let me brainstorm this. I have a lot of meetings here at the house of yelling at Ilya and being like, we need to do this, we need to do this.

What does he say?

What does he say? Yeah, when you say that, he's really almost on board. Oh, and this is all coming from because we took a trip to the Philippines, right? And, and it was just like It was fun and we didn't film it the way I'd want these new videos to be filmed. We just filmed it like the old vlog. But I was just like, I was like, I don't know, there's something that like about the old vlog style that now feels like work. And in order to make fun videos, I think it really has to feel like you're just hanging out and vibing. And that's what I want these new videos to feel like. I want it to be a 10-minute video that you put on for dinner. Yeah, like, I want, I want it to be that video. I don't want it to be your big thing back in the day with—

you would have lunch and you would just— I was all surprised, you just turn on every YouTuber.

Yeah, I know. Well, you had lunch, and I think like my videos before were for like lunch or snack time because they were like really quick. But I want it to be something like, I'm, I'm home, it's the end of the week, I'm gonna watch this 10-minute video.

You're right, Friday night.

And it's not going to be as fast-paced as they were before. I don't know. Okay, I think I've said enough. So yeah, so sorry about that, but that's kind of where I'm at. Also, I was like looking, I wanted to make sure that I don't fall, like I don't have a name for it yet, thank the Lord, because if I had a name for whatever the series is, I feel like I'd be shooting myself in the foot. I just hate when you come up with a name before, because again, the LA syndrome. Like, I think all great things—

David Uncut.

Yeah, I think all great things—

David Raw.

David Uncircumcised. I think all the great things come— like, a lot of good ideas come before things are named. I just— I've never seen anything have a name before.

David's Video, not David's Vlog.

It's pretty good.

That's always good when you say David's Perfume, or— that always works.

I mean, so we do with like literally everything. We just put David's name in front of whatever it is.

Yeah, I mean, that works just because it's just like, who gives a fuck? Yeah, just like so lazy.

David's Journey.

Um, I don't care. I don't think it needs a name necessarily.

I don't think it needs a name, but I was looking up like—

I looked up how AC/DC formed their name. People used to think it was like After Christ, After Christ, the Devil's Child.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the, the, the lead singer's being interviewed and he said it's literally— it was, it was, um, from his— he looked at his sister's sewing machine And where it says power, where the power is.

Yeah.

It says AC/DC, which means alternating current and direct current.

Yeah.

It's literally just like, yeah, you just saw something. Yeah, I'm going to go with that. I think that's honestly, that's like the best way to describe something that's great is like, who gives a fuck what it's called? Yeah. This is rock and roll.

I agree.

I think that's so cool.

I agree. Curb Your Enthusiasm is the most awkward name.

So weird.

And so weird, and it works, and it's the best.

Yeah.

Hey, yesterday I was out. I thought of you. I was getting coffee.

Blue's Clues, though.

Blue's Clues is a good name.

It's a good name, and it rhymes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so there have been times— like Dennis the Menace. There have been times they've gotten it right.

Yeah. Have you tried Ryan Trahan's candy?

Yeah.

It's incredible.

Wait, is that what you're going to bring up?

No, I was like, that was a joke from the last podcast. We couldn't say anything bad about anything.

Ryan Tran's candy is incredible.

No, I was at Community Goods yesterday, which is like a really hip coffee shop.

Oh, I've seen this on TikTok.

It's so good.

I didn't want to go in because I was like, wait, but why do people like it? Just because Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber go there?

I think so.

Yeah, I mean, that's enough for me, to be honest.

Yeah. So Naveen's taking me over there for the vlog and I'm like, okay. And then I got out there and I saw like all cool people like your age, like really cool, like the show I Love L.A. And I'm like, I can't go and film in there. I'm like, oh my God, that's so awkward.

Oh my God, that would be so funny.

It was your nightmare. It was your nightmare.

That'd be so funny if you went in there.

So I did, and I went in and I had to get a vlog, and I was like, okay. And they were really nice, and everybody in line was really nice. It was actually a good experience, but it was a long-ass line. Amazing thing. So I'm sitting there and this guy comes up to me, and I thought of you because the guy goes— guy comes up, walks me to the camera, and he goes, Jason, is it okay if I film you? And I was like, I was like, oh no, like that never happens to me. And he goes, he goes, how many likes to come on the stream?

That's so funny.

Like that.

Oh shit.

Wait, what?

Yeah.

He goes, how many likes to come on my stream? And I was like, I don't know, man.

Wait, to come on his stream?

Yeah. I was like, 10 likes. I don't know.

10?

So anyways.

Oh, because there's this guy.

Yeah. Sorry to cut you off. There's this guy that walks around and asks streamers how many likes to be on their stream.

Uh oh. And every—

and he's, he's like a legend for it. He'll like pop up. And every streamer will be like, I don't know, a million. And then the streamer's friends will be like, no, you idiot. Don't you know?

I've seen this. I saw this with Sarah. Yes.

Don't you know who this is?

Yeah.

Like, say a high number and they'll be like, oh, okay, 3,080,000 likes. And he'll still hit it.

Wow.

So I thought you got approached by that guy.

No, I got approached. But anyways, long story short, the guy— we came up with some number and then the guy rolls off in like a $250,000 car. I was like, fucking believable. I couldn't even believe it.

Why was that so unbelievable?

It was just like, he doesn't need me. You know what I mean? Like, he's doing great.

Yeah, but you like, you've been in the scene for a while.

I guess.

I'd love to get you like honest. You're like, it's crazy how long you've been doing this.

I know, as long as you.

Yeah, but you look like an additional 20 years. I mean, that's beyond an additional 30.

Yeah.

Yeah. So he came up to you and then I saw the TikTok of the guy of you asking to, he did a magic trick for you.

Yeah, I was in Madrid.

I was at the airport.

That was crazy.

I guess I got to stop talking about where I'm going.

How the hell did he track you down?

So he knew I was going to be in Madrid for 3 days. So he had 3 days to find me.

Yeah.

And he looked, he looked for me all around Madrid. Couldn't find me. So I think he got the day I was leaving and he just waited at the airport and he pulled out a knife and he— no, but that's how it's going to end one day. And he tried to— he said, if I show you a magic trick, Can I get a job interview?

Yeah.

And yeah, the magic trick was great. He had me guess a card and he's like, I have a card in my wallet. He's like, name a card. I named a card and it was the only card in his wallet. I don't know how he did it. And I told him, I was like, I'm going to be an asshole about this. Like, if you— if you— if I know how this trick is done, you're not getting the job interview.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I have no fucking idea how he did it. So he's doing— he's doing a— he's getting a job interview with Natalie.

Mm-hmm.

And he's actually friends with a mutual friend of ours who said nice things about him.

Oh, good. So you're going to be tough on him, Nat?

I mean, I think he went to like an Ivy League school. Like, he's very intelligent.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. So we'll see. But he sent me over his resume and I'm going to—

Well, he's got to be intelligent if he fucking cornered me with a magic trick. You know how much I love those.

I can miss my flight for a good magic trick.

It's like, this guy's a genius. He's got me right where he wants me. Um, uh, yeah, okay, sorry, back to Community Goods. You said, you said something interesting. You said there are a lot of cool people in line. It was like that show I Love LA, but there was a long line, very long.

And I was confused. I was like, what is it? Like, why is it so hip? Like, what's the fucking— how good can it be? Yeah, it was, it was very good.

What did you get?

Like, I got a vanilla bean iced latte, but with homemade vanilla bean syrup. $7.50.

Do you think part of that is the line?

I do. Yes. 100%.

It's got to be like, like part— I'm not even saying part of why it tastes good is the line. I'm saying is, is do people like going to places because of lines? Because I think in Japan, I'm sure in a lot of other countries too, like waiting in lines is like an exciting thing. Like people like waiting in lines for things. Like it's like a— it's like a rewarding thing. And it's also like a It's also like a thing to do with a friend.

Yeah.

Like, let's go pass time in this line to get something.

Yeah. And I think there's a chance you'll run into somebody and like maybe see the guy you like, you know, and he's in line.

But are there places at Community Goods to sit?

Yeah, it's like a little patio.

Couple— nice little patio.

Not many seats, but like over 10?

Maybe about 10 seats.

Yeah.

Okay.

So it's very small.

It's like first come, first serve.

Yeah.

There's a good chance you're getting your drink and you have to leave. Yeah, because you want people to sit.

Yeah, yeah, we got to sit. They also sell— I've seen this a lot lately— people are just selling sardines everywhere.

Have you seen this? Have been a big— yeah, a thing.

Wait, what?

My dad used to eat sardines and gross the family out.

In LA?

Sardines everywhere. Canned sardines. Everyone's trying to sell sardines.

I saw sardines on our counter here.

You did?

Yeah, yeah, it's disgusting. Honestly, I— they should be banned.

We should ban sardines.

I think it's just Fish in a can is fucking pathetic.

I guess it has a lot of protein though.

It's supposed to be good for you.

And the oil, the fish oil is really good.

What does— I can't, I don't even want to talk about this. It's going to make me fucking gag.

That's fine.

Anyway, Dinner with Sinner.

Hey, have you heard about this dating app where the men have to pay for the woman's getting ready costs?

What?

Yeah, it's called Courted.

Wow.

And would you do that, Dave? Would you pay for a woman to get ready to go out with you?

That's scary. Yeah, because it's like now I'm paying for her to conceal her face. Yeah, just like weird. Like, what, the more I pay, the more makeup she's got on and the less I could know what she looks like?

And what do you pay for that, like $36?

$36?

Well, I don't know, what does it cost you to get ready?

I'm like $200, $300.

At least $200.

No, if you're gonna get like a blowout and professional makeup job. I'm saying like a date.

Well, I think that's the thing. I don't think you're paying for, like, her lipstick.

Yeah.

Is it like wink wink, like paying for something else?

Interesting. I never even thought of that.

It's like, I'll get my costs, if you know what I mean.

Did you see Steve's video the other day?

No.

Steve went into a strip club and he gave a stripper a new Mercedes.

No way.

And then they're sitting in the car and he goes, can I have a blowjob? She goes, yeah. And he goes, oh, okay. He starts pulling his— he starts pulling his pants down.

He goes, got your ass.

Oh my God.

But he— sorry to pivot here, but he also flipped— this guy's videos are insane.

Yeah.

It was him and his friend Togi. I love Togi.

Yeah, he's very nice.

He flipped— they were outside Togi's house. Togi doesn't have that much money.

No.

Like, compared to Steve Wozniak.

I think it's on his neck.

Yeah, well, that's exactly what it is. It is everything— he's wearing it.

Everything that you see from Togi is— yeah, it's either on him or it's like in his cars.

Yeah.

And he flipped— they flipped a coin for Togi's house.

No.

Yeah, his $2 million house. And what happened? Togi lost to Steve, lost his $2 million house. And then they go inside and they sign the paperwork over and Steve's like, hey, I feel bad. So Steve gave him his Rolls-Royce and then he gave him his— he gave him his Lamborghini. He got— Togi got to choose. Steve was like, okay, you want my Rolls-Royce or you want my my Lamborghini. His Lamborghini is like valued at like $650,000. So Togi at the end of it was like, I actually feel great. I got a free Lamborghini out of this.

Those guys are fucking crazy about being housed. They're crazy. Yeah. So Togi now has a $650,000 Lamborghini, but like, I don't think Togi's going to sell it either, even though like he should. Yeah, because he just lost a $2 million house on a coin flip. And that— this is the type of stuff again that's like makes me want to change my content because I'm like, it's just impossible to compete with people. Like, in terms of like wowing people. I'm watching this video. I texted Steve. I'm like, my jaw's on the ground watching this video. I'm just like, I can't— There was another video where Steve, Steve, Steve's whole like premise of his last two YouTube videos has been trying to get into a financial crisis. And in his last video, he like took out Sexy Red, who's like a girl singer.

I know Sexy Red.

Takes her out to, like, go buy her watches with her mom. And he got her mom, like, a $25,000 Birkin. And then— and then he bought Sexy, like, an $85,000 watch. And then Sexy's like, well, now that you bought me this, like, can I still get the AP I wanted? And like, what's AP? That's another $100,000 watch.

Okay.

And he's just blasting through money. And then Steve goes and buys a private jet.

Oh my God.

And spends $5 million on that, but spends— puts the least money down on it. So probably puts like $1 million down because he wants to be in a financial crisis. So he wants to get a loan from the bank for as much money as he can. And then he goes to a car dealership, buys a $1.3 million car.

What?

A McLaren Elva. And then there's a kid at the dealership, like, looking at cars and he's like, hey, Steve.

And Steve's like, what are you looking at? He's like, I'm just looking. And Steve's like, you want a car? And the kid's like, okay.

So he buys him an $80,000, like, beautiful BMW.

Wow.

And it's just like, it's just like this. Like, it's like happening so quickly. Like Jimmy, MrBeast is another thing. Obviously, like his MrBeast new show Beast Games is fucking incredible.

Yeah.

Have you been watching it? No, no, it's really good. And it's way better than the first season. I love the first season.

What kind of things are on there?

It's a competition. It's the same premise.

It's, it's just, it's the winner of the show gets $5 million. Okay.

Like all throughout the show, it's like There's a game that he does that's really interesting. So, so it's fucking, it's genius, but it's like crazy. So they'll have, there'll be like 20 people left on, on the show and like they'll break into groups of 4, right? And then each of those 4, each group of 4 will have one team captain. And then that team captain will go stand on this, on this like bridge and Jimmy will put up number signs. So it'll go from 1,000 to 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, $20,000, $30,000, and the money will keep going. It'll just keep growing. Like every second it grows another $5,000. And if the team captain hits the dollar amount, like it's like, fine, I want $200,000. If they hit it and say yes to it, that team captain gets to keep all the money, but their entire team is eliminated from the game. And that team captain gets to move on to the round.

Whoa.

So like you just fuck your team, your team gets kicked off the show.

Whoa.

So like the whole premise is like you have to pick the best team captain that you think is going to honor your team. And it went up to $1 million. And you're sitting there with the 14 captains and Jimmy's like, if anybody here hits the button, you're a millionaire.

Yeah.

And like, and it's very difficult for anybody to hit it because you're a millionaire, but you automatically become the villain for your team because your team's gone.

Wow.

And yeah.

So what happens? Do people take the million?

I think the first season.

Yeah.

I don't think anyone hit it.

Really?

None of the team— I think none of the team captains hit it for a million.

But isn't the idea to eliminate everybody anyway?

Yes, but you're— but you think about it, you're on the show. Sure, a lot of people are watching. Like, you're their face— you're face to face. You're basically— you're cutting everyone off.

But no one's gonna trust you the rest of the season.

But those people are—

those people are gone though.

No one's gonna trust you. That doesn't matter.

Really?

The problem is you're fucking over 4 people.

Who would be gone from the show? What it's done— the object is to get rid of it.

They're gonna find you in real life and they're gonna fucking kill you. That genuinely—

I'm not—

I mean, yeah.

What are you talking about?

It's a competition show for $5 million at the end of it.

Yeah.

This guy hits it who they all trust at the end. He hits it, becomes a millionaire instantly, and his team has to go. His team who's been on the show for 6, 7 weeks now— 6, 7— has been on this team for 6, 7 weeks, just has to go home now.

Do they confront him on the show?

Yeah, they go, fuck you, you're an asshole. It's really sad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it is a game show at the end of the day.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. But it's a really well-done show. But again, my point is, is like, financially it's impossible to compete with the money that's being given away, thrown around.

That's not your thing anyway.

Exactly.

You're not Captain Giveaway.

But I've really loved it to become my thing. So I just want to lean back into like what made the videos so fun in the first place. Yeah, and that's just hanging out. So if anybody has suggestions for what you would want to see in like new style videos, yeah, please let me know. A lot of people are like, just fucking hang out on the couch.

Yo, the weekend's coming up, huh? What's doing? Thursday pod here. What are you guys up to? Young, too young and attractive single people. I was talking about Natalie and her sister.

Oh, I thought you were saying Natalie's two people.

No, I was not talking about Natalie's two personalities.

Thank you. Yeah, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do this weekend.

What's it going to be, Dave?

I'm talking—

What? Are you going to Zouk?

He probably will be at Zouk.

No, I wasn't going to go out this weekend. Natalie vetoed it. We're celebrating John's birthday. I do want to like—

What do you do for John's birthday?

We're just getting dinner tonight. But I do want to, like, just keep brainstorming this idea for this, this video on the podcast. No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about it here. I'm sorry, but I think that's— I don't know.

I feel guilty. I feel guilty going out.

Why?

Because I'm not posting.

Oh, brother, don't do that. Don't do that.

Really?

Okay. Yeah, I'm probably going to do Zouk.

Yeah.

You can take John to Zouk.

I don't know.

I don't know if we'll even go out this weekend, to be honest.

No, no. We most— All jokes aside, I don't think we will. We've been traveling so much where it's like, it would be nice to just like catch up. I would love a— I would love dinner tonight. I'd love to have a beer and a couple cigarettes. That's kind of like— that's kind of what I would love to do.

That's nice.

I also— you know what I've realized about alcohol, which I didn't realize before, and I just had the realization, um, that like you have to have fun in order for it to be fun. That makes sense. Like, I've always, like, relied on alcohol. Like, I've always sat the last, like, 2 years. Yeah, I've just sat and drank beers, like, waiting for the fun to hit me. Like, it— like, it comes through the alcohol.

Yeah.

And I just realized I was in Dubai, of all places, drinking. I was in Dubai, and I was, like, taking shots, and I was like, whoa, I'm like, I'm taking shots, but I'm also keeping my energy up purposefully.

Yeah.

And I think that I think that was— this is like such a stupid realization to have at 29. But I was just like, I was like, oh fuck, I need to—

I still need to be driving the ship. Like, I can't be relying on like the alcohol to hit me and have fun. Like, but like, it, it does come easier. But like, I was like bouncing around and I was like, okay, let's keep moving. And I think that's what— that was the first time I've had fun drinking and I was just sitting around. It was just me, Natalie, and like 3 of our friends.

Yeah. What were you doing? Shots?

No, I was sipping on a margarita. I never do that, but I was like, okay.

What was the point of that story?

The point is— what was the point of that story?

You drink and you have fun, but you also have to remember that you have to have fun without alcohol.

And when you're drinking, it's also your energy and your vibe, and the alcohol is just helping to elevate that vibe.

I don't look at it like that. Alcohol takes me over. And I'm like, "Ooh." Oh, okay.

Okay, so good. So maybe I did learn something.

Yeah.

Oh, like you think it's like chemically interacting with you and it's making your endorphins increase and then—

The night I met the Adam Sandler story, I was like so inhibited and then I had a bunch of drinks and then I was good to go.

That's so different. You were around Adam Sandler. You were like, your body was feening to be let out of its cage. Right. So, so yes. So your alcohol, the alcohol helped with it. I'm saying you're out, you're on a night, you're just sitting there and you're like, "Okay, I'm a little bit down right now." Yep. Let's see if alcohol gets, at least for me specifically, I need to be like leaning in towards the fun, which I've realized now. I literally genuinely for the last 2 years, I've thought that it's just going to find me the more I drink. I don't know why. And in the last 2 years, it slowly, slowly has gotten worse and worse where every time I drink, I'm like, I just want to go home even more because I'm just like dizzy. But so take us through it.

You're sipping the margarita.

I think I've already taken you through it.

I'm so confused.

Why are you confused?

I don't know what you're saying.

I just genuinely think I think you like have to want to have fun. I think you can't rely on alcohol unless you're like you, who I guess you genuinely think— you think you could be having the worst day and then you sip alcohol and then things change? Because I know people are like that.

Yeah, I'm 100% like that.

I'm not like that.

Or you ever have like, um, a little weed and everything's just different? You're just like, oh, you forget every problem you have.

No, now with weed you don't do that. It'd be highlighted.

I mean, that's why they call it a— it's a free vacation.

You know what they call weed, a free vaca— what does that mean?

It's a free vacation. It's, it's a vacation.

It's not. It's at the price of like a lot. It's at the price of like— I don't look at weed as like, oh, it comes at a price later. No, it comes at a price that night when you're fucking eating the whole pantry. I think that's like, that's, that honestly, maybe that's later. That may be the most brutal pain.

That's why I quit weed. It's honestly, it's why I quit, because I can't control myself eating.

I genuinely think heroin's better for you, like, in the long term. At least, at least you're not fucking—

yeah, it's like Prepare the healthy snacks before you get—

Healthy snacks high is the worst.

Also, there's no such thing as healthy snacks.

Carrots.

Okay, that's pretty healthy.

Raw carrots.

But raw carrots is crazy. Like, I've done moments where I'm high and I go to the store, I get grapes, I get apples, strawberries, but I eat all of them. It's still 1,900 calories, 2,000 calories of just fruit that I'm consuming. Like, it doesn't— there's no such thing as like True.

You have like a weird bottomless stomach though, too.

Incredibly bottomless. I've never seen anything like it. Especially when I'm high, just like the limit does not exist.

So crazy.

Yeah.

Where does it all go?

When's the last time you got high?

The last time I got high?

Yeah.

It's been months. Maybe like 6 months. Yeah, yeah, it's been a really long time.

What'd you do?

We just sat on the couch and watched a movie. That's why I— like, I'm telling you, the price of getting high is This is fucking horrible.

You go on an anti-drug talk across all the high schools just because of the price of getting high.

Don't get high, you'll get fat.

It's calories. It's genuinely calories.

I got a call yesterday from one of our friends who was like, I gotta get to Coachella this year. And they were— I was like, oh, oh, cool, cool, cool. And then they listed like who was going to be there, and I was like, I don't want to see any of those people.

I mean, Justin Bieber's gonna be pretty cool.

I like Justin Bieber, but like, I don't know, Justin Bieber is kind of like the best to see, right?

Is he?

Is he great live?

I mean, it's just like, he's like, his songs are like so iconic, right?

He hasn't performed in so long.

There's—

he—

I think it's just me, I'm just out of the country.

It's like seeing Hannah Montana in concert, but it's just like, Justin Bieber checks off all the boxes. Like, checks out. Justin Bieber's like the one artist that's like still current for like, he's never He'll never fall out of relevancy because he's just Justin Bieber.

Here's what it is. If you came to me and you said—

And he's nostalgic.

If you came to me and you go, "Jay, I got a ticket for Justin Bieber tonight at Staples," I'd be like, "Fuck yeah, let's go." It's the fact that I gotta wait all day out in that field for Justin Bieber. That's really what it is.

Yeah.

I almost think it's opposite.

What do you mean?

Because I think like just Justin I think just Justin Bieber, like, at Coachella is like— I think the combination of it— I don't even fucking— I don't really care for music festivals at all, but I think there's something like magical about like seeing him there, the greatest, the biggest like pop artist of like our teens, um, performing. I think that's a really big deal. I was like, who's he gonna bring on, you know? Like, that's gonna be crazy. What if he brings out Hannah Montana? I'm like on such a Hannah Montana—

Hannah Montana is coming back, you know that, right? She's doing a show.

Is that— I've been seeing Miley Cyrus.

Yeah, yeah. Miley Cyrus is doing like a— because it's like, what, 10 years or some— 20 years.

Well, and Hilary Duff is now on tour.

I know, I'm freaking the fuck out. I've like had every single one of our friends trying to like help me get tickets because that was your first concert ever. It's my first concert ever was Hilary Duff. I went like, I got all ready, I made a poster, I held the poster up the entire fucking time. And I love her.

She's got to be so incredible to be like an entertainer like Hilary Duff who's had like a very healthy, successful career.

Yeah.

Like, does she have kids?

Yeah.

She's chilling with her kids and that she could just fire up this, like, I mean, I guess it's the life of an artist, right? You could just be like hanging out and you could be like, you know what? I'm going to go make $30 million this year.

Yeah.

All you have to do is like, I'm going to go like be celebrated by all my screaming fans from 10, 15 years ago.

I think that's so cool.

That's cool.

I know a guy that works for Dave Chappelle and his job is basically when Dave decides he wants to like do a show in a parking lot, he'll like set that up.

He'll put it together.

Yeah, Dave will be like, I want to be at this bar tonight in the middle of nowhere, blah blah blah blah blah, and he'll make it happen.

That's got to be cool. Yeah, because like you're, you know, you're working for Dave Chappelle, like you know you can get that done.

Like, you know, you call him David Chappelle?

Dave Chappelle?

David LaChapelle?

I don't know what it is.

That's an artist. Uh, and the vibe that that creates too, it's like What the fuck? He's gonna be at Betty's Chicken Wings tonight? You know what I mean?

Like, no, if I was Dave Chappelle, all I would do is play at Betty's Chicken Wings.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, the more random, the better.

Yeah.

I'm sure I've always been so confused, like, when artists don't do that, but I feel like they've just been doing it so long they don't really care for it anymore. But like, when like Ed Sheeran will pop up at a random place, like, that's like, that is like probably the coolest thing to do.

Yeah.

Like, why is Justin Bieber not playing at random? Like piano bars or anything.

Yeah. Is he still streaming every day?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

No. Just for a little bit.

Do you know that or are you just guessing?

I'm guessing. I mean, I haven't seen a clip. I feel like I would see a clip, you know?

I feel like I've never really seen clips even when he was streaming.

Oh, I always got the clips.

His streaming is like different. It's like he's pretty far from the camera. Yeah. Where it's like, it's like, it's almost like you're looking through his security cameras from what I've seen. Like it's not necessarily like Justin Bieber is like vlogging his stream where I feel like then it'd be clipped all the time.

But yeah, that is going to be a very epic and exciting thing. So I'm looking forward to that. All right, guys. Well, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you, everybody, for tuning in. Please DM me tips and tricks on what you want to see from the new videos. I'll post the video on the 5th for you guys because I do have content that I just haven't gotten to editing to. So I can't believe I just used the word content. That's crazy. I hate that word. Um, but okay, we'll see you guys later. Go check out Jason's daily vlogs and go check out Natalie's Instagram page.

Thank you.

It's really good stuff. See you later. Bye.
