Jason Gets Busted in Sweden

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views and Happy New Year's.

Oh, you're gonna start rapping.

Happy New Year's, everybody. It is officially 2026.

Oh my God.

Wow, we did it, Jay.

We made it a whole year of podcasts.

Holy fuck. Was it?

Yeah, pretty much.

Oh yeah, yeah, we started at the beginning of the year. Yeah, kudos to us.

Unbelievable.

Honestly, props to me.

Yeah, props to you. You got it going.

Every day I don't want to be here.

I know, and yet you keep coming back.

I'm stoked, another year.

Here's to 6 more months.

Yeah.

Here's to 2 more weeks.

I just signed my 1-month contract, guys. I'm here for another month.

This is exhilarating.

David has 2 hats on his head, by the way. He has 2 baseball hats on.

I have 2 hats because, okay, guys, I know I've been saying that one of the podcasts, we're gonna podcast from Sydney, blah blah blah blah. I'm still in LA.

Yeah.

But I'm going to Sydney right now. I'm about to leave. I'm a little out of breath.

How many hours of How long of a flight is it?

15, but it's direct.

Okay, that's not bad.

So I'm gonna sleep the entire time.

David is incredible on a flight.

Hey, I have a question.

Sure.

Have you ever seen those Reddit Am I the Asshole?

Yes.

Am I the ass— Am I the—

A-M-I-T-A? Yeah.

I got one for you.

A-T-A.

It's about me. I know the answer. Am I the asshole for flying my 3 siblings economy?

Yes.

Really? No!

Kids, 3 siblings. They're getting to go to Australia.

Naveen answered quick. That's Naveen's voice you're hearing, by the way.

What's the difference in price?

Okay.

You're also talking the difference in price.

Yeah.

$8,000 ahead.

Oh, come on.

Okay. But then you have to go—

I'm just saying this honestly, just because I don't want to get into shit.

You go economy with them and then it's like all of you are spending time together.

They're not my kids though. If they were my kids, I'd be like, yeah, I'm obviously sitting with them wherever.

But you're starting the trip off.

Would they're going to be like, I don't think so.

No.

When you're like, oh, like you're going to come out, you've slept 15 hours laying down. You're going to be like, all right, let's do stuff.

What about the time you took Wyatt and Charlie to Boston?

And I sat first class. I bought my own ticket. You wanted to pay for it.

What happened?

We went to Boston, but Jason was meeting us there.

So you took Charlie and Wyatt, you took the kids.

6 hours.

Okay. So you upgraded yourself to first class and you left the kids.

And who was going to sit on the window? And he was like, I'll sit on the window, you sit on the aisle. And they were fighting. They're like, wait, Naveen, do you like— you're okay with sitting in the middle? And I was like, so I'm seat 2. Um, but, uh, okay, so wow, you are totally fucking playing both sides here. But it was awkward.

Oh, like when you landed, it was weird.

When you land and you're like refreshed, like you feel so good, you're ready to like go out, and everyone else is like broken and has like a neck problem now.

I don't know, dude. I listen, I No, your siblings do not need to fly first class. No, 100%. I think I agree.

They're just— they're getting to go to Australia for the first time.

By the way, I've asked everybody.

I've asked like 10, 15 people.

Yeah.

Just because I like hearing people. And Naveen, you are the first person to argue the other side. So if they were like, I don't know, I think business class is like a real, real, real, real privilege.

Like, let's play it out. Let's say you did go to economy with them. You would have more bonding.

Yeah, but I would be uncomfortable.

More money.

I drop them off at the airport and leave.

Are you going to go back and visit them in economy? No, no, you're not at all.

No, no. But visiting them is also rude.

What I think is so fucked up is—

it's rude to visit?

Is, first of all, it's an extra $25,000 in tickets.

Yes.

Right. Which is kind of insane.

Insane.

It's like a car.

I used to fly my kids first. I'm so mad I did it.

Dude, you're a weird guy with your money. Oh, the weirdest thing. I've seen influencers do this. Yeah, it's so fucking weird. It drives me nuts. Is when they take their girlfriend on a trip. This is real.

Oh yeah.

And the guy sitting first class.

Yeah.

And the girl's not. That's insane. That is the one situation where I am sitting economy and my girlfriend is sitting like first class. I don't care if they don't have another seat. Yeah.

We're—

if we're—

if we're in that moment, we're switching seats. I think that is fucking madness.

Well, maybe, maybe he or she's making content up in first and they can't afford I've seen that where it's like, yeah, we got the first class ticket so he could make a video about being in first. But yeah, yeah, I wouldn't do it. I would stick to being in economy. I would let you have first and I'd go to economy.

If it was both of us and it was one seat, I would let you have it so that you would be in a better mood and not hurt when we landed. So I would take the hit for you.

If my siblings were like older, like it's 16—

well, actually, they're actually like 16, 18, 21.

Right.

Yeah.

They're still pretty young and nimble.

Yeah.

But yeah, like if it was my— I couldn't fly with my parents and putting them in a car. Like, that's, that's like, that's, that's a rule. I think siblings is like where the rule is okay.

What are you going to do with them there? You're going to just go around with them in Australia? Yeah.

No fucking idea. They keep asking me, they're like, what's the plan? And I'm like, you're going with the wrong guy. I don't know what got into me to invite them.

Whose idea was it to invite them?

I think it was mine.

Yeah.

Are you taking your little brother?

Taking all three of them. Yeah, we're all staying. I got, I got us an Airbnb. We're all staying in one. We're all staying in one house.

You have to make sure they all eat all their meals.

And that's kind of what I was like. I was like, you guys are good to like do things on your own, right?

Well, Toby's 16.

Toby, who's the most—

who's the—

well, actually, Toby's the one I'm telling to do things on his own the most. Yeah. Because I'm like, there's a really good chance I won't wake up till 5 PM every day and then I'm gonna go out. So like, what do you know? But I think Toby's like got activities planned.

Like what?

He's like a big soccer guy. So like just going to like a park or like it's summertime in Australia.

Okay.

And I think the other one, Sarah, also like doesn't love going out. So I think they're always a tag team.

Oh, got it.

And Esther has her boyfriend that lives in Australia.

Maybe take Toby to a soccer match.

In Australia?

Yeah.

Isn't that like more like rugby there or something?

Yeah. Or a rugby match.

Soccer match.

That could be fun.

Yeah, that'd be really— that'd be really thrilling.

And what about Natalie? Natalie, she'll end up taking care of the kids.

Uh, no, no, because she's not— it's, dude, in, in my house. Yeah, it's me, my 3 siblings, and Zane.

Oh, where's Natalie?

Natalie has her own house.

Oh, oh, got it.

She's kind of fucked up.

She has her own house?

Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, Airbnbs were really tough to find because apparently Sydney's like the spot for New Year's. Sydney, well, I think they do like all the fireworks. Like, have you seen Sydney?

Yeah.

Have you ever landed there?

No, I've never been there.

It's fucking weird.

How so?

It's like, it's like you would never expect it to be like so watery. I know it sounds crazy because Australia is like considered a big island.

Yes.

Which is, I think, also another weird thing because then technically isn't everything an island? There's like canal. I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. What you mean when you land, you're like, oh, what the fuck? Like from the birds, like a lot of it is on water is what I'm trying to say. Yeah. So like, I think all the fireworks like over the big bridge there. And things like that. So I've been told it's a great, great New Year's.

Wow.

I don't know. I'm excited to go out with my siblings. My younger brother doesn't drink. He doesn't like doing it. He thinks it's good. He thinks it's bad.

Good.

Well, he's 16, so I mean, he probably couldn't.

The other two are out of control.

Well, actually, I don't know about the other two. One of them I don't know about, and I should have them on the pod. Yeah, I think when I'm in Sydney. Yeah. Oh no, I won't bring the pod equipment.

Okay, you can if you want.

Which brings me to my next question.

Yes.

Are you and Naveen gonna meet me in the Philippines?

We're down for the Philippines.

Hell yeah, we are.

Yeah, I just talked to Naveen. Said hell yeah.

Yeah, Naveen's excited. Naveen loves to travel.

Are you putting Naveen economy?

Are you going business? Well, I already looked up a first class ticket and it's—

how much?

It's only 3 grand.

Okay, let's do it.

That's not crazy for a round trip.

Okay, okay.

Wow, that's amazing. Wait, business or first class?

It only gave me business, so I think whatever plane I was looking at was—

we talked about this, we don't need first class, just business.

Business is fine. We talked about But the economy was like, to go to the Philippines on those days was like $300.

Really?

Yeah. So I was like, okay, what's first? That's like kind of too cheap.

That is kind of crazy.

How many hours is the Philippines?

There's like a stop. Did you have a nonstop one?

Uh, I'm flying from Dubai or I'm flying from Australia, so I think I am nonstop. So I'm going Australia, Dubai, —someplace else. Oh, sorry, Australia, Philippines, then Dubai.

Oh my God.

So I'm gone for a long time. And Alex is— I'm letting Alex's family stay at my house. Yeah. There's like 6 to 8 members that are staying here. Yeah. And his uncle— Yeah, his uncle texted and asked him if there's any way he could shoot his gun in the backyard. And I'm like, I don't even know. I don't even— I don't— I'm a little worried now. How's he—

He's traveling with a gun?

I don't think they're flying. Oh, I think they're like road tripping. And I think he's like one of those like gun guys. Oh, I could be making this all up. I have no idea. And, you know, it's California is not a place to shoot guns in a backyard. No.

I wonder, he just wants to like stay sharp.

No, I think he thinks that the yard is like really big, that like there's like a firing range. I don't really know exactly how it would be.

And what did Alex tell him?

Alex said no. He's still bringing the gun, but he cannot shoot in the backyard. So just if any of my neighbors are listening to this, do not worry. If you hear gunfire, it's not him. It is an actual emergency.

What happened to Steve buying the house?

That's going to be nice. Oh, Steve will do it. Gave up on the house. But Jay, you gave me a good idea today. Oh yeah? Yeah, Jay said I should rent my house out for the Olympics.

Yeah, you'd make a lot of money. Oh yeah.

Which is crazy because like, first of all, not first of all, but I feel like I would never do that because I feel like that's like such an invasion of like, like my home is very like, it's like my, like my literal beating heart. Yeah. So like, I don't know. I don't know how to let people in here. Yeah. But I also think for a month I could probably get— I'm going to fucking say a crazy number. Yeah. I think I could get like half a million dollars. Yeah.

Right.

So At the '28 Olympics?

It's $10,000 a night, 30 nights.

Because I'm thinking Palm Springs, Coachella. Maybe $300,000. No, Jake, because like Coachella, right? Yeah. Happens every year. Yeah. You have a house this size in Palm Springs for the week, it's like $100,000.

Oh, for the weekend.

For the weekend. For 4 days. Yeah, for 4 days. So now imagine the Olympics are like, you know, for a full month. Mm-hmm. A month rental. In LA.

It's kind of nice.

I don't know. And I feel like that feels like a no-brainer, right?

We should rent our house. Does that— and go—

how do you feel about people being in your home? Kind of weird, right?

I'm okay with it. I don't, I don't have like the same attachment. You like, uh, you like love your house. Like, you like, uh, your eyes sparkled when you said it's your beating heart. It was really sweet.

Yeah, no, no, this is— yeah, this is my everything. So it would be weird that someone would have like access to like do anything in here. But also, like, half a million dollars, like, I will be in Turks and Caicos for— and also getting to leave, yeah, LA for, for the Olympics, I feel like it's kind of a plus. Yeah, like, that doesn't feel like—

and they get the pickleball court. It doesn't.

And they get the pool and the sauna.

And the sauna and the gym.

And the price fix gym.

Oh my God.

That's why I'm saying with amenities, I think it's— I think I could do half a million.

Wow, I forgot about that. Damn.

And it'll be summertime, so it'll be like prime time.

Yeah, and I just take 5% for the idea. Really? Yeah. Yeah, so.

If I sell for $500,000, I'll give you $5,000.

Okay, sounds good.

We should rent ours. What do you think we rent ours for?

I won't give you $5,000. I'll take you on my trip wherever I'm going. Okay, perfect. I'll take you. Where do you want to go?

Turks and Caicos. Well, it's the summertime. It's gonna be too hot there.

Okay, what are everyone's New Year's resolutions? Like, it's so exciting.

Oh, I love this topic.

This is my favorite. Time of the year to talk New Year's resolutions?

Dude, mine is just be positive. Just— I'm drawing a little square around my face. Yeah, right. And I stay in that square. So take your finger if you're listening and draw a little rectangle above your forehead, down by your eyes, and then right on the bridge of your nose and then back up again. I'm staying right there, just focused, present, not letting like wild thoughts come into my head. And I'm like, in the moment, all the time. That's it. I'm not gonna let anything get me down. And that's what I'm doing. I had a real realization. What's yours?

Oh, I think I would want you to take me to a doctor.

I like that, Jake. It kind of scared me for— you went on a little too long, but I was—

I wanted everyone at home to really understand it.

What does that mean? That it's just your eyes are your presence? Like you're just locked in, you're tunnel vision?

Yeah, like, so when I just use my eyes and think, oh, if I'm in a moment and something's happening, I think I'm pretty good. Okay. Like, okay, I don't panic. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Where I have problems is when I'm left alone and by myself and I'm like, oh man, what am I going to do about this? And oh no, then that's going to happen. And oh no, I screwed that up. I screwed this thing up 20 years ago and now I'm here. I'm not going to let anything like that get into my head.

Okay, that's good. Yeah. And then Naveen, what are you doing?

Ozempic.

Ozempic?

No, I'm kidding.

Oh, no, I can't do Ozempic right now. I just want to be kinder, and I want to do more good stuff.

I was actually going to recommend that one for you specifically.

We were all thinking it.

Yeah, I want to do nicer things for others because I feel so good with me. Like, I'm always like doing self-work. So now I'm like, I think I'm perfect. Now I want to focus on—

Enough is enough. Like, you've done it. Yeah.

Like, I don't think too many New Year's resolutions have been about you.

Yeah.

Like, I got in shape, I look good, I got married, I have good thoughts.

What about like finding a better husband? Would you put that on your New Year's resolution or no?

No, I think Jason's like, perfect.

Are you sure? Really?

Yeah.

Like, I'm real good. I'm real attentive.

He's so good.

I'm real attentive.

I obviously was being a dick, just as a joke, but like, it's really nice to hear that. Yeah. Can you explain that?

I don't know. Like, even when— so when he got back from Boston, we've just been like staring at each other. It was like the longest chunk we've been apart.

You've just been looking at each other? Yeah.

Like, we'll just look at each other and like, my friend Amira is like staying at my house right now. She's like, I think I'm going to go do my own thing tonight. No way. We're just like, I don't know.

She doesn't have to. Wow.

You're like that in love.

I'm like really obsessed with you right now. Yeah, yeah, I'm the guy. What happened?

I don't, I don't know what happened to you.

This is amazing.

Yeah, there's something about you. I think you've also been more positive and happy lately, right? It's hot.

It's since ever since that vision board, ever since that pilot got 500,000 views.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh yeah, that helped a lot.

That's really funny.

Yeah, it's true, you know, you have to You have to be doing something that you are really excited about, and that will pull you through. And that's— as long as I'm doing what I really love, then I'm going to be good. Nice. Right?

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, good for you. What's yours?

Yeah, what's yours? My New Year's resolution? Stay single. I'm going to try to— I'm going to try my best.

That's not a good one.

Do reverse psychology here. Just keep this shit up.

You like being single though, huh? We were talking to one of our other friends the other day. I won't say his name, but he was like, he really loves being single. Who? I don't want to say.

I like it. I like it just because like I am reminded of like from people in relationships. Yeah. Constantly being like, take your time, don't fucking do it. Like you have all this freedom right now, just enjoy it. Like, yeah, like, yeah. Because once I'm in a relationship Which honestly, I don't care if it's tomorrow or in a year or 5, whatever. Once I'm in a relationship, I'm like— I've said this millions of times— I'm a completely different person. I'm not going out. It's going to be— I may not even see you, to be honest. I don't know where I'm going to be.

You think you're still making videos?

It depends if my girlfriend is like down, right? But also, like, I could like— I don't know. I don't know. It's like a loaded question, but I feel like I have to wait for for my girlfriend. Um, but oh, speaking of girlfriends, I saw the movie Eternity. Who's in that? That's the one with, um, Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller. That's the one everyone messaged me because it was my— okay, so remember a long pod, like a couple podcasts ago, like I'm talking like 3 years ago maybe, I was like, when you get to heaven, yeah, like what are you, what are you like? Yeah, like, uh, are you— are you— fuck, what am I saying? Like, what age are you?

Do you know? Yeah, yeah.

Oh yeah, like, what is your soul?

So this movie is that movie where, where, uh, this woman goes back to heaven. Yeah, but both of her husbands are there. One of her husbands who she was married to for 67 years, and the husband right before who died at war when she was 21. Oh, and now the husband that was 21 had to— has decided to wait for her before choosing their, like, afterlife. Wow, it's really cool. So they're in this— like, so I'm not gonna spoil anything, but they're in, like, this train station. Like, after you die, you go— you go into this, like, train station, you get off, and they explain to you, you're dead now, you have to choose where your eternity is. Oh, and if you don't choose, you can stay there, but then you have to get a job at the train station. So it's like being a bartender or helping other people find their eternity. But then you— all the eternities are really funny. It's like there's, like, a classic heaven version you can choose that one. You could choose Studio 54 where you're just getting fucked up all the time. You could choose Mountain Village, which is like just the mountains. You could choose Beach Eternity.

And wherever you choose—

there's one that's just food and it's like constantly like you're just being fat. Like, it's like, you know, a thousand different eternities you could choose from. Wow. And he gets there— Larry is the guy who was married to her for 67 years— he gets there, he's there for like 4 days, and he's like, okay, I'm gonna go to the Beach Eternity. And I'm gonna leave my wife a note to meet me there. And as he's entering the Eternity, she shows up at the station, huh?

And she's like, Larry, what the fuck? You're dead. You're dead.

And then at the moment they're talking, then Luke walks up who's been waiting for her for 67 years. Wow. And then she's just— and Luke's a really handsome guy. She's like, what the fuck do I do? And then she had— and then the whole movie— and then the, the people of Eternity, like the people that like run it, gave her a travel visa to visit one eternity with each of these potential husbands.

Oh my God.

So she takes one husband to one eternity and the other to the next, and then she has to choose who she wants to be with forever.

And who's the girl? Really? Uh, Elizabeth Olsen. WandaVision.

Yeah.

Damn, that sounds great.

Is it a comedy?

Uh, yeah, it's like— yeah, it's light—

it's lighthearted, right?

Yeah, yeah, it's great. And the question that I've always wondered is what, uh, is what you're gonna look like. They, they kind of addressed in a cool way. They said you're stuck in the body that you were happiest in. So like you go back to like the time you were happiest.

Oh my God, that sucks.

Are you happiest right now? Yeah.

Damn, that sucks.

Happiest with Naveen, but not happiest with my body.

Dude, how funny would that be? Like we go to eternity, you're fucking— you're going— you're 60. I'm in high school. I'm 17-year-old Dave.

We're hanging out.

There was also a high school eternity as one of the options. I'm like, yes, put me in that. That is so fun. Being in my high school days forever.

It's tough when you get into a relationship because I end up eating her meal. Did you ever do that? No.

I'm so weird about eating after people. Oh, no, I can't even eat after my girlfriend.

Nevine will eat half of her meal and then I eat. Meat, my meal, and then half of her meal.

Oh, that's crazy. Huge.

And today you ate my meal, your meal, and Amira's meal. I did.

We have Amira staying at the house.

What the fuck's going on in that house, guys? You guys all fucking each other? Is this code for something?

Yeah, we have her friends staying at the house, which is, which is really fun. I love it.

Why did you say like you're convincing yourself that it's fun?

Because I haven't really gotten to hang out with her. She seems to be like She seems to kind of make herself disappear.

Is she on like side missions? Kind of.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like the most fun is like falling asleep with someone, you know, and like you're like laughing and like having the best time.

She doesn't sleep in the same bed as you two?

No, I don't know. Sometimes Jason gets like too many boners in the night.

Or be dangerous to have them. That's why when we went camping, I made sure I wasn't sharing a tent with him. I do know this about him. But yeah. Wait, what were we talking about? Eternity.

New Year's. Wait, was that a movie in the theater or Netflix?

It's on Prime, I think.

It's on Prime? No, I don't think it's on Prime. It's on Apple Music or Apple TV.

Oh, I saw it as an option the other night.

That was a different Eternity because I looked it up. It wasn't on there. Really? Yeah, it just came out, so I'm sure it'll be on Prime in like fucking couple days. Um, but let's talk about this vlog. That was— well, if you haven't noticed, we're recording this podcast a couple days before New Year's. Yeah, but since it's New Year's, that means I have posted the vlog, correct? Yeah, right. Okay, hopefully. So now we could talk about what's in it. Okay, which is really fun. There's gonna be a— there's gonna be a scene where Naveen may be mad at you. We should just get out of the way now. Oh yeah.

What happened? What did you do? I don't know.

We went out to dinner with some Swedish people. Okay. It's funny because it's actually worse the slower I talk about it.

It's so funny because this is not going to make the vlog. So you're just getting me in trouble for no reason. Go ahead.

Idiot.

We went out to dinner. Go ahead.

I actually think it may make the vlog. Okay. I don't know. It's the concept's really funny. Okay.

You're right. It's not making the bar.

Go ahead, David.

They, they, they, they booked a dinner. They booked a dinner.

I want David to tell the story. You zip it. Yeah.

Yeah. We booked a dinner obviously. And there, and there's 5 Swedish girls with us. Okay. Right.

They're all about, they're very nice. And, and, uh, once we leave dinner, uh, uh, Jay bets Zane $1,000 that Zane, if Zane can name their names. Like, say, all right.

And Zane's like, he's making up names completely wrong.

And Zane goes, fuck you, Jay, then you do it.

And then Jay's like, I'll take that bet. $1,000. Names every single one of them. And Zane goes, Naveen's not going to like that. We're like, you may have won $1,000, but you just lost your marriage.

Where's my $1,000, by the way, from Zane?

I mean, I don't know. That's really funny. No, no, no. But it was funny.

Obviously, it was hard to do. Yeah, yeah, because I was at that dinner and I was like not talking to them or not saying anything.

He's trying to do a little hookup.

I was like, well, let me try. And I was like, we left dinner and I was like, okay, let's do names again.

You weren't talking to them in a flirty— you were just talking to them.

Yeah, well, I did get their names after dinner because I like to get people's names. I'm like, what's your name? What's your name? What's your name?

What I've noticed about Jay is he's really good at dinner of making it obvious that he's old.

Yes, he likes people to know.

Yeah, I like them to know where my place is. I showed them your picture on the phone.

Yeah, that's like such a guy move to get someone to like flirt with you though. Well, no, that's not what he's doing. That puts them at ease. As a girl, like when someone's like, this is my girlfriend, I'm like, oh my gosh, this guy's going to try to hit on me. But he wants me to feel comfortable.

I don't think you do that.

But if a guy like immediately tells me, I'm like, that dude, you're thinking about it.

That's so fucked up.

I feel like. Really?

Yeah, because I feel like any girl would be like, like, that's so sweet, he mentioned his girlfriend in seconds. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's what any girl would—

No, but I feel like that is what happens to you.

I feel like it's like a— like, why are you— like, unless I came off flirty, like, interesting. Why are you telling me, like, as a friend?

No, Jay's really good at just being like— at being like, he'll talk about his kids. Yeah. And like, it'll be very obvious why he's with us, like, within 3 minutes or 4 minutes. Like, you won't be like, hey, why is this 30-year-old— or why is this— what are you, 60? Yeah, I'm 30 now. Is that crazy? I just fucking tried to diss you by my own age. That's how old I'm getting. Oh my God, I'm 29 still.

But also, Jason's so good at names. Yeah, which I'm like really proud of.

Yeah, I like to be— I like to be good at it. That's the best thing you can do is be good at names, you know? Yeah, goes such a long way.

We could talk about the trip now in full. Okay, because it's in the vlog. I don't know, I haven't— as of this moment, I'm like 30 minutes into the edit, so I have no idea what it's going to look like or what's going to be in it. But we could pretty much talk about anything.

So I mean, Ilya jumped in an ice hole.

Okay, so, yeah, so it was good. We landed in Sweden. We got like no hours of sunlight, and then we flew to another place closer to where the dart was. So like almost right on the money of where Zane— so we went to Sweden because Zane threw a dart at a globe and landed in Sweden. And a lot of big coincidence, like coincidences happened with this. And that was ABBA is from Sweden, which is fucking crazy. Yeah. And then also IKEA is from Sweden, which is Alex's table, which is kind of really fucking crazy. Yeah, I don't know if I'll edit the Alex table bit in. And we didn't visit the Abba Museum, which is kind of crazy. The two Swedish things. I don't think we did the best job, but I think I want to address those on the pod because I don't want people to be like, why did you miss this? I was very aware that the Abba Museum was there. I feel like we were just like, so especially me, we were—

you were too tired.

I was so low energy.

You should have seen— I was, I was like, let's go, let's go.

So close to where you guys were.

No, I know. I kept pushing. I was like, let's go do something.

I couldn't do anything. Yeah, I was so fucking dead. But yeah, okay, so we went to this place that was like right on the edge of the Arctic Circle and we went snowmobiling. There was a hole in the ice. Ilya jumped into the cold plunge type thing.

David told me he hated activities. We were out there in the snow because they were like, let's go snowmobiling.

And I'm like, I don't want to go snowmobiling, even though I'm like, And it's freezing. This is why I gave up those kinds of activities. I went ATVing in Ibiza and it made me sick for like 3 weeks. Have you been ATVing? Why can it get you really sick if you're not covered properly? Yeah.

Especially Ibiza is just so like, dude, it was this.

No, it wasn't that. It was the sand. Sand was kicking up into my face, into my throat. I was fucking out for like, I'm telling you, 3 weeks after Ibiza. So that's why I'm like, I'm good with activities. And thank God I opted out of this one. So we went snowmobiling. I did like a lap with everybody and I was like, and my instructor was up, up, up ahead. So I was like, let's go back after like literally 4 minutes of snowmobiling. My face was freezing. You didn't go, Jay, so you have no idea how cold it was. I didn't go.

I got back. I didn't go because I couldn't drive and I didn't trust Zane driving. Yeah, it wasn't a snowmobile for me. Okay.

And then we got back, we took a shortcut and I'm like waiting to film all of like Natalie, Zane, Ilya coming, Alex coming back on the snowmobiles. I'm waiting to film them and they pass by the place they were supposed to turn. And my snowmobile instructor's like, oh, they missed it. And then they stayed out for another 20 or 30 minutes. Now keep in mind, it's freezing outside and on, and on the snowmobile. We're on a lake. We're snowmobiling on a fucking lake.

On a frozen lake.

On a frozen lake. And nobody has anything on their face. So like, it's fucking miserable freezing. My snow instructor said a couple days before he went, it was -20 out, but when you're on the snowmobile, it's double that, so it was like -45. And there was one piece of his skin that wasn't covered and he got frostbite in like 30 seconds. And his face started peeling off the next day. Um, it's fucking crazy. So then Zane and Ilya got back, just fucking— they, they sounded like characters out of South Park.

Like, it was the funniest part of the whole trip. Zane just got off the snowmobile and he was like, he couldn't move his mouth.

I don't think it'll play as funny. It was—

it looked so funny to me.

No, because I, I'm watching the footage, it's not as funny as it was in the moment. In the moment it was fucking Hilarious. So funny because they were like, they were fucking done. So, yeah. And then, and then we went to— yeah, so we took a helicopter. We took a helicopter to the top of this mountain, which is incredible. Zane was terrified about this, this entire place. So this place in Sweden, it's where the— I don't know the town, but if you look it up, it's where the Ice Hotel is located. Originally, the main reason we were going there was to stay, spend the night at the Ice Hotel. Thank God we didn't, because that place is fucking freezing. I don't know what I was expecting, but it is made out of ice. Everything is ice. We've talked about this before, so we didn't stay there, but we did all the activities instead. We went to a restaurant. There was bear, reindeer. You could eat anything you wanted. Bear meatballs.

Yeah.

And then we went on to this, this. Yeah, this mountain with this helicopter. Natalie took her clothes off. She took her top off, took some pictures. That was really funny. I was just watching that footage back. And you could see Alex Ernst is like— Alex Ernst is so funny because he's like, when anything— when like Natalie does anything that's like— or like any— if there's any girl around, Alex Ernst, I'm telling you, will take 300 feet like of a distance. Like, like you could see Natalie in the far distance. You see Alex almost falling off the side of the hill because he's— he like doesn't want to be anywhere near Natalie. And it's because Alex has a girlfriend, right? And it's really funny. And then Alex was like, just making sure, like, I wasn't anywhere near Natalie. And we're like, you weren't anywhere near Natalie. But to fuck with Alex, it's so funny. Because we got back to the hotel and we were like, dude, why did you make Natalie take her top off on that mountain?

And Alex was like, Alex's face was just like shot.

He was like, it's the best way to get under his skin. So funny.

So funny. You should edit him into like her topless photo. Just have him on the side. Yeah.

No, genuinely, genuinely, it was really, really funny. Then also I got to surprise my mom with a minivan, like a Volkswagen minivan. Okay. That was really fun. And I think Australia may be in this vlog. I have no fucking idea. Yeah.

What will the Philippines be like?

I don't know. And I— and I— and I—

how did this come about?

I like your hesitation about it. Yeah, and Taylor's really scared. Why? I don't know. Well, your hesitation is—

I don't want to be in the way of that.

I want to be the way— yeah, the wedding. But I think you are the funniest person to be in the way. Oh, okay, okay. You're so funny.

Yeah, but we can't— we can't force our way into it.

We've done that. No, no, I know, I know, I know. We have done that. Where did we do that?

You took me to a wedding. You took me, Susie, and Zane to Natalie's friend's wedding.

It was like Natalie's best friend though.

Yeah, but still, not your best friend.

Natalie's best friend. And that's a crazy 3 people to bring because each one, like, you can't just ignore. That's right.

You can't ignore them.

They're each three, like, very out there in their own way.

I remember being all dressed up with Zane in the hotel with Susie, kind of waiting around watching TV and waiting to get a phone call for when we could come.

They're like, they're doing vows.

Run in now.

No, no, it was—

it wasn't that bad. It was like, when did you come in? It was like—

I came in for the party, for the dinner. Right, right, right. It was great. It was a great wedding.

No, and everyone was really excited you guys were there. So as crazy as it sounds, yeah, it— yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah.

What else is there to do in the Philippines?

We try the McDonald's there.

Oh, that's fun.

You try to beat your record, try different—

oh yes, Naveen loves massages. I bet there's good massage there.

Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with McDonald's.

No, I'm just saying things to do in the Philippines. Oh, oh, and then it'll be interesting to see John over there, dude. John, I wonder if he'll be like a big stud over there, bro.

John fucking pisses me off more than anything.

Oh, what was the thing you said that was so funny? Did I—

did we share it pod yet? No. John and Alex were in charge of bringing the car when I was surprising my mom with the Volkswagen, so they had to wrap some gifts. There was like a Rolex for my dad and other gifts inside, like inside the car for them to wrap. Alex goes to John, can you get tape and scissors? John goes, LMAO, I'll get it at Staples. And then John texts again about 10 minutes later, goes, shaking my head, this place sold out of wrapping paper. And Alex goes, I got wrapping paper, just tape and scissors. Then John goes, oh, I got tape then. And I go, did you get the scissors? And then he sends a picture of the tape, and it's one of those tapes that like has like the— yeah, the little— the teeth at the end that cuts the tape. Yeah. And he sends a picture of that and he goes, this doesn't require scissors. Alex goes, what? And I go, wrapping paper Does, you dumbass. And Alex goes, John, I need to cut the fucking paper. And then I go, bro, there's no way you're good at Wordle. And then, and then John, and then Alex goes, I'm speechless. Uh, we don't need to see another photo, please. Cause he says, I'm going to send you another photo. And then I said, did you get the scissors? Yes or no, bro. Hurry. Yes or no. And then he's not responding. Alex goes, it's a typeable response. And I'm standing at Michael's waiting to see if I should buy tape or scissors. John goes, yes. And Alex goes, that was fucking crazy. I mean, this guy is— he's a blessing, really. Yeah. My sister was in the car with me when he was texting us. So I read the text and she was like, I have no idea how you guys fucking do it with this guy. Like, is this— he's fucking an idiot. What's going on? I'm like, no, well, he's like the best. He's got a really, really good heart. And then Alex and John got into the car and then as a joke, to my sister. My sister said something nice to Alex, and I was like, well, that's not, that's not what you were saying about him before. And then my sister goes, no, I wasn't talking shit about Alex, it was about John. And John goes, what the fuck? No, but I'm really excited to see John's family and everything. That's gonna be, that'll be a good trip. I will come back just absolutely fucking drained. I already know it.

What are you doing in Dubai?

Giving a speech. You are? No, I'm not giving a speech. It's just like a fireside chat, but I always called speeches a fireside chat. Yeah, like me and Natalie will sit there and someone's gonna talk to us about the internet. Oh, I assume, I assume that's what it is. I have no idea. It's called the Billionaire Summit. Really? Yeah.

Whoa.

Yeah. I mean, isn't everything there the billionaire something?

I don't know. I've only been once.

I don't know. So Yeah, I have no idea. Unbelievable. Yeah, I'm a little nervous because like, I don't, I don't know.

No, you're good. You're good. When you get out there, you just kind of roll with it. Yeah, just keep talking.

Those are the best gigs, dude. The best gigs were those college gigs that I used to do. Oh my God. I've never worked like that in my life.

1 hour of work. How much money? Good amount.

Yeah. Should I say? Sure.

One time I went with you to a college that was in East Bumfuck. It was so far in the middle of nowhere. Do you remember? It was a nice college. Yeah. It was like in Pittsburgh. Yeah. We drove way out. It was.

Yeah. So basically I would do these like college speaking engagements where I would like do Q&As and stuff. Yeah. And they'd pay like they'd pay like a brand deal would pay. I'm not going to give them a number, but they pay like a really good amount. But the great, the most amazing thing about it is you don't have to post a single thing. No, not like I'm here at the college. Nothing. The college did all of it. The tickets would sell out and you just show up, you speak for an hour, you put a bunch of crazy things on your rider like Gardettos, Diet Pepsi, things like that.

They pair you with like a kid who went to the college.

They pair you with a student who's like asking you questions. So it's like, it's literally like you're just like, it's the best gig ever. And you don't even have to be funny. No, you just have to like, you just have to talk. Yeah, and it's so much better than like—

it's so much less pressure than our podcast.

Yeah, because it's like the same questions over and over again.

It's like, so how did you meet Jason Nash?

And, and I just do that.

And I did like 10 of those. I did like 10 different college shows and it was fucking— I could not believe it. I could not believe it.

One time you did one, I think it was Iowa, and you put money under the seats, did like $10K under the seats in an envelope.

I don't know what I did.

And then we had somebody playing like Oh, there was one. We had like a game on stage.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. There was one college we went to where that was the best part, like when you guys would come. I think it was in Iowa where we like went around to like the frats. Yeah. And like got to like, like play beer pong with them too, or like just visit the houses. That was really good. But like, I've gotten to the age where I feel like I'm too old to be visiting frats, which is really sad. Yeah, I feel like the next time I'll go back is when I have kids. Yeah.

Have you ever done a college gig though? Those are good.

Have you ever done like a visiting your kids at college or no?

Yeah, we went and visited Wyatt, but it's kind of weird because he goes to school in New York City, so it's not like—

it doesn't feel like going to like the frat houses.

Oh yeah, it just feels like a dorm. It's in New York City, but it's, it's not the same.

It's—

yeah, it's, it's— yeah, but it's cool. We, we moved him in sophomore year, we moved him in freshman year. Yeah, but when we go and visit him, he just like meets us on 14th Street and he's like, oh yeah, yo, are you guys having a kid this year?

Um, we'll see. Oh wait, this is crazy. You guys are gonna have another kid. It's crazy.

Oh yeah, maybe twins.

Or you feel— twins?

No.

Well, I have twins.

What would you do if she had quadruplets?

I don't know.

Wait, Jason, you're gonna be a dad before me again?

You never know. You never know.

That's kind of crazy. What do you mean you never know?

You could meet someone on your first class flight when you're Family's in the back. Maybe someone else is in the front with you. Really?

But he wouldn't have a kid.

I don't know. He—

I'm not going to have a kid the first year I meet somebody.

I've never seen you in a relationship, but I feel like you're so loving and like when you like something, you're obsessed that I could see him going 0 to 100.

Yeah, but I have to be careful because that is true. But I have to be careful that that doesn't overtake me. Let it. Okay.

It's like, you love it, you love this house, you love your friends, you'll love your girlfriend, and you'll love the baby you guys make.

Isn't that kind of crazy to think that, like, what, my kid could be anything? Yeah, my kid could be 50% Japanese. Yeah, isn't that crazy to think about? Yeah, like, I think that's the craziest thing. Like, I'm Slovak and as white as it gets, but like, my kid could be anything on this planet. Like, I'll be visiting a country, maybe, every single year that I have no idea.

And they could be just like you too.

Like my kid?

Yeah, like they could have your exact personality.

That's gonna be weird.

Which would be insane. Or, you know, they could be your polar opposite. Really? Yeah.

Wow, I'm so excited.

Or one thing that happens—

my kid's gonna be lit. One thing that happens— loser.

Sometimes when you have kids too, they, they end up being like your mom or your dad. Oh, okay. I could see. Really interesting. Like my, my Wyatt is a lot like my sister, like very introverted and like very thoughtful and methodical. Oh wow, really weird.

Okay, okay, okay, wow, that's gonna be really fucking sick.

And Nevine and I, our kid, I don't know.

Wait, where are you guys gonna go when you have this kid?

To the hospital?

No, I mean like, are you guys gonna stay in LA? Shay, I urge you not to make the same mistake you did the first two times. I urge you, go to a regular community. Arizona. Go to even fucking Illinois. Beautiful.

I just stay here at least for a little bit.

Go to regular public school. You cannot be paying $60,000 a year for high school.

I would never do that. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would never like have—

I'll tell you, man, people get down in LA, but I got back here yesterday from being in the cold. The weather was so nice.

It's your home, dude. You're going to always love it. You're always going to love it. It's your home. Yeah.

And I have the other kids here too.

The first batch. The first—

not really here anymore.

Once the new—

I know, but why is moving back here?

Oh, he is?

Yeah, he loves it here. Wow.

Okay. Yeah, I guess that's going to be kind of tough then.

Yeah, I'd like to stay here.

Do you want to?

We're going to get this show together. Positive thinking in 2026.

Should we time it so we both have kids at the same— can you guys wait a couple, maybe potentially a couple of years for me?

That would be great.

Or like a month. Oh my God, that'd be so funny if my kid is growing up alongside yours.

Your kid's picking on my kid. Yeah.

Taping him to the wall.

Your kid's like, David Jr., we told you not to tape him to the wall. David Jr.

Your kid's like, why is my dad so old? And why is your dad so hip and cool?

Well, that's Theo Von's whole thing is he had a really old dad and he felt really disconnected from him. Really?

No, people with really old dads are so funny every time. You think? Yeah. Anyone I've met where their one parent was significantly older is so hilarious.

I don't think you'll be like old, old. I think, like, how old are you now, actually? 52. Oh yeah, never mind. Yeah, you're fine.

Well, no, I thought you were gonna say never mind, you will.

72.

Bro, I'll be 70 when he goes to college.

Yeah, but we have so much like biohacking and stuff, like people aren't getting old like they used to get old. That's true.

You're 70, maybe like a— you're 70, maybe like 50. Yeah, but yes, back in the day, 70-year-old dad, 20-year-old kid. Yeah, that's like— that actually kind of— back in the day, I mean, your dad's pretty cool. Well, it's like, damn, he had a kid that late. Like, right, what's going on? Right?

I think it's hot. Thanks, baby.

Okay, enough of this. I'm gonna get out of here.

All right, well, listen, get on your flight. No one sleeps better on an airplane than David. Yeah, this guy is unreal.

But you have to remember, he's out first because your flight is non-stop. You have to get up and walk. Why? Like, you will get a blood clot. Like, it's such a scary thing, so you should just like Well, you like, well, pee, or like you said, so much. Okay, good.

I pee more than anybody I've ever met.

I think I pee more than anyone.

Well, you drink so much water.

I'll let you know how much I pee.

Like, 10th time.

All right, so I'll bring the podcast equipment to the Philippines.

I'll see you in the Philippines.

So we're going, guys.

Yeah, we should go. Next episode, we'll be with Jason Ash once again, the return. Let's go. We'll see you guys for the next one. Thank you for listening to Views. Bye, guys.
