David0:00Moment view
What's up guys? Welcome back to Views, the podcast. That's my last expression of creativity left because I don't make sure only expression of creativity, that and Call of Duty. Call of Duty.
Jason0:10Moment view
Yeah.
David0:10Moment view
Goddamn. Jason's been so pissed. I've been fucking playing Call of Duty.
Jason0:13Moment view
Done with your Call of Duty.
David0:14Moment view
Why don't you show some respect to your veterans? I roll the intro music. Okay. This is weird.
Jason0:28Moment view
What happened?
David0:28Moment view
Let's get it right off the bat. Um, I ordered tacos today.
Jason0:32Moment view
Sure.
David0:32Moment view
And in my bag of food, like where like the taco and everything was, they gave me a straight up toilet paper roll, like a full toilet paper roll.
Jason0:41Moment view
That's fucking gross.
David0:43Moment view
You could tell.
Jason0:43Moment view
So gross.
David0:44Moment view
You could tell it's not used, but it is gross. And now I'm thinking, I'm like, would the food place actually do it? Or is the delivery guy like trying to get some extra points and he like put it in there on his own, which even makes me think that's even grosser.
Jason0:57Moment view
Call the place right now and find out.
David0:59Moment view
"Who did this? Who put this fucking toilet paper roll?" It's cute, but it's just weird. I understand the premise.
Jason1:05Moment view
Yeah.
David1:06Moment view
The other day, I broke my phone. Aw, you poor baby. Shut up, Natalie. Um, this is serious. Like, I haven't backed my phone up in, like, 2 years. So every contact— I know this sounds dramatic, but I feel like I've gotten the majority of my work life done in the last 2 years. That's where the most progress has been.
Jason1:26Moment view
You met David Blaine?
David1:27Moment view
I met David Blaine, so I have David Blaine's assistant phone number in my phone. Very important to have.
Jason1:32Moment view
Crazy.
David1:34Moment view
Natalie, not now.
Natalie1:34Moment view
I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.
David1:39Moment view
Anyway, so yeah, so it's really important for me to have my phone contacts and nothing was backed up. I haven't backed it up in over a year and a half. So last night it was like 10 o'clock. I ordered food. My food was coming to my house and I wanted to go outside and I wanted to check to see if the gate was open so the guy can get in. And my car was the only way to open the gate and the gate wasn't open. So I had to open the gate, but I haven't driven my car in so long that my car was completely dead, and it was parked too far from the charger where I couldn't plug in, so I couldn't turn back on. It was just dead. So I was like, fuck, okay, I'm screwed. But as I was out there, I also noticed a guy who had his car parked right up against my gate on the other side and was just waiting for me. And he was like, hello. He was, hello. And I go, hi. This is 10 o'clock at night. Hi. And he goes, um, I'm just wondering, uh, I've talked to your other neighbors, but your Ford— do you own that Ford Bronco? Because it's unlocked, and I just I want to make sure that no one steals anything from it. It's a ridiculous thing to come up and say to a person at 10 o'clock at night. Yeah, especially because the Ford Bronco is basically a fucking convertible. So what the hell would we have in that car? It doesn't matter if it's unlocked. That's how it— that's how it lives, is it's unlocked. So yeah, so I got freaked out. So I'm like, I don't know what this guy wants. And I told him that. I was like, okay, thank you. And then instead of leaving, he went and he parked right by the Ford Bronco and stayed in his car with the lights on, just waiting for me, I think, to go check if the car was unlocked. So I was like, okay, fuck it, I'm not gonna go. I'm not going out the front door. So I called my— I called my Postmates guy and I was like, stay, don't come to my house, stay at the bottom of the street, do not come up to the street. And I gave him new like coordinates or like a new street to meet me.
Natalie3:09Moment view
Coordinates? What are you in the fucking CIA?
David3:10Moment view
Meet me at 34, 67, 5 east longitude. No, I had him meet me on another street. So, and he was kind of freaked out. He was like, okay, what are you saying? He was a little bit confused. I was like, don't worry, I'll explain. And then I hung up and I felt bad that I like, I stressed him out. So I was like, okay, I gotta get to this guy quick or he's gonna be like, sketch down, he's going to leave. So I went instead of going from the front of my house, I went from the back. Like the back of my house is just a hill. Like my— I have like a view where it overlooks like a hill and it's like a pretty steep drop down to my neighbor's. And it was rainy. It was like it rained like 20 minutes before. So I kind of slid down the hill. I was like sliding down the hill, like on my ass, like I was getting really dirty going down this hill. And then I got to my neighbor's property line where my property line and his connect. There's a fence. So my goal was to hop over into his backyard and go through his backyard and out to the main street so I could avoid this guy that's sitting outside my house. Yeah. So I got, I got to the property line and I hopped the fence. I hopped the fence over to my neighbor's backyard at 10, like 10:15 at night, whatever it was. And, and right as I jumped—
Jason4:12Moment view
this is the reverse of Postmates, by the way.
David4:14Moment view
Yeah. Like they're supposed to come to your door.
Jason4:16Moment view
Yeah.
David4:16Moment view
And make it easy. Yeah.
Natalie4:18Moment view
This is the part of the movie that like should have taken 1 minute to get through, but it takes like 30 minutes, right?
David4:23Moment view
So then, so then I hop the fence, but as I hop his fence to his backyard, I didn't realize there was another hill, and I tripped, and I literally tumble like 3 times. I tumble, and then my phone, my phone flies out of my fucking hand, and like in slow motion, obviously, like that's how I'm seeing everything at this point, in slow motion, lands right into the middle of the fucking pool. Like right in the middle of his pool. Like, yeah, it made the perfect sound, and my phone is cracked, so it's not waterproof. It's not like a regular iPhone. So I didn't waste any time, so I fucking jumped into the pool immediately, like jumped right into the middle of the pool. I completely— it was pretty deep, it was like more than I could stand. So my— everything, like everything was wet. Like I went down there because I had to go grab it. And only imagine.
Jason5:05Moment view
And then I come out of there, Taylor leaves you for 5 minutes, this is what happens to you.
David5:10Moment view
Yeah. And then I, and then I come out of the pool, I'm drenched, my phone is fucking not turning back on, and, and I have to go. And now I hop my neighbor's fence right, to go back out to the main street, trying not to wake anybody up as I'm fucking panicking.
Natalie5:22Moment view
Yeah, how did the neighbors not hear you? Just—
David5:24Moment view
I don't know, if it wasn't even for the splash. I know, like, as I was bouncing down the hall, it was like— like, I know I was making sounds as I was falling down that hill. And then I, um, got my Postmates driver— like, I flagged him down. Like, like, like, I flagged him down. Like, I flagged him down like I stumbled out of the woods after, like, there was a murderer chasing me and I finally found a main road. Like, that's what it looked like. And like, and like the water that was like dripping down me, like, felt like it was just blood.
Jason5:49Moment view
Like, and then, uh, chicken tandoori for David.
David5:53Moment view
Yeah. And then this guy picked me up and I was like, can you please just drive me back up to my house?
Jason5:57Moment view
Like, right. And then what happened? Was he there?
David5:59Moment view
Um, he drove me back and my assistant Taylor also showed up to open the gate. So we both got there and the guy was still out at the Bronco. But once the two cars pulled up, he left. He left right after that because they pulled up to my house.
Jason6:10Moment view
So he probably thought like, so fucking scary.
David6:12Moment view
So scary. And that's why I'm saying, please don't fucking come to my house. Please stop coming to my house. That's the moral of the story. I broke my foot. Phone because you fucking people keep coming to my house.
Jason6:20Moment view
Yeah, don't come. If you do hire a third assistant, you should get somebody like an ex-CIA guy.
David6:25Moment view
Yeah, girl, to get me Chipotle and/or kill people. Yeah, you're gonna be picking up food and/or assassinating.
Natalie6:32Moment view
I can only imagine the internal dilemma. Like, I was passed out, and like, I can only imagine you just like pacing back and forth, like trying to plan, like, what, what am I gonna do? And then you come up with— you're just going so crazy in your own head that like you come up with this extreme plan to just run down the fucking backside of it.
David6:48Moment view
I know, it was bad. It was, it was super dramatic. And, you know, like, I was like really smart too.
Jason6:52Moment view
Like, as I was hopping the first fence, you were like, I got him this time.
David6:55Moment view
I hopped over the fence and I threw my phone over on the other side because I'm like, I don't want my phone to crack, so I'm going to put it there. I'm going to have it land in the dirt. And then I jumped over the fence and I picked my phone up. But right after I picked up my phone, that's when I started my tumble, like right by the pool. Yeah, it was, it was a complete fucking disaster.
Jason7:11Moment view
Your neighbor, see if there's a camera back there.
David7:14Moment view
I don't know. There's no way there's a camera.
Jason7:16Moment view
Wouldn't you love to have it?
David7:17Moment view
Oh my God, bro, I probably look like a fucking idiot.
Jason7:21Moment view
I'd pay thousands and thousands of dollars to see that video.
David7:25Moment view
It was me too. It felt like—
Natalie7:27Moment view
I wonder if they have security cameras.
Jason7:29Moment view
The one time you've come out of the house in 5 weeks, you end up in the pool.
David7:34Moment view
It felt like a movie, like, I don't know, was it Disturbia where there was someone like— where someone was like locked in the basement or something and like the main character is like finally getting out but they're still like running into these like ever— like, you're like, come on, just get the fuck out of the house already. Yeah, but every step they take, like, there's one more thing that's going wrong, right? That's what it felt— it felt like a horror movie. And I was just like, I cannot believe my phone is landing in the pool right now.
Jason7:55Moment view
Don't come to the house.
David7:56Moment view
Please don't come to the house.
Jason7:57Moment view
David will end up drowning. Well, it's a little sadder in here today, guys.
David8:01Moment view
Natalie had an idea to foster a dog, so we had a dog living with us for like 2 weeks. We named her a bunch of different names, um, and today we had to give her up. It was really sad when we were giving her up too. It's like We put her on, 'cause today she was being adopted by her forever home, and we put her on the ground, and you could tell that she kind of just wanted to stay with us.
Jason8:21Moment view
Yeah.
David8:22Moment view
'Cause she didn't know the new people yet.
Jason8:23Moment view
After she pulled away and she was gone for good, how did you feel?
Natalie8:28Moment view
I literally, I kid you not, I felt a piece of my heart crack because it was so sad and so upsetting.
Jason8:36Moment view
And what about you, David?
David8:38Moment view
I opened a Red Bull and I stuffed down 2 Twinkie bars.
Natalie8:42Moment view
No, David was actually really, really sad too.
David8:44Moment view
That was super sad.
Jason8:45Moment view
David, I liked you a lot more with the dog.
David8:47Moment view
What the hell? The dog left like 6 hours ago.
Jason8:51Moment view
Now it's cold in here. Now it's like, oh. Like normally, like if you guys, when you guys are fighting or something, then I can look down at the cute little dog and be like, oh, it's all good.
David9:01Moment view
It's a family. Oh, that is interesting.
Jason9:03Moment view
It's a vibe.
David9:04Moment view
It is kind of like, I see what you mean, but it's like the pee pads around the house and like the constant puddles I'm stepping into. Right. That's the part that makes me feel maybe this isn't a home. Why does this feel like a rainforest? That's the vibe I get. But she was really good. I was— I'm glad we got to foster a puppy.
Jason9:22Moment view
Well, maybe you can do it again.
David9:23Moment view
I'm down to foster another puppy.
Jason9:25Moment view
Yeah, you can do another puppy.
David9:26Moment view
Yeah.
Jason9:26Moment view
Nice.
David9:26Moment view
Hey, you know what I learned the other day? I learned this on TikTok.
Jason9:29Moment view
Yeah.
David9:30Moment view
And it's really interesting. When you ask questions that can be responded to in yes or no fashion, your voice goes up. So it's like, do you have a dog? Like, so here, do you have a dog?
Jason9:39Moment view
Yes.
David9:40Moment view
Right, it goes up. But now if I go If it's a question that you answer that's not yes or no, it's gonna go, what breed is your dog? Oh.
Natalie9:48Moment view
Scan has completed.
Jason9:49Moment view
Yeah. Sorry, I know you guys fucking hate this.
David9:52Moment view
Bro, you gotta turn that shit off.
Jason9:54Moment view
I just wanna be happy.
David9:55Moment view
Dude, you're fucking, it's so frustrating, guys. I can't, I don't know what to say.
Jason10:01Moment view
Podcast is over.
David10:03Moment view
I'm ending the podcast. I don't know how to explain this, but Jason's computer keeps saying things and it's like, scan completed. Like some weird shit like that. Like he got a virus on his computer.
Jason10:14Moment view
How weird is that? It's not that weird. Scan completed. It's not a virus. It's just like—
David10:18Moment view
It's definitely a virus. It keeps saying it. What do you mean? Over and over again, it goes scan completed, looking for more damages in software. It keeps saying that shit over and over again. And we keep looking at Jason like, bro, turn that shit off. And he doesn't know how. It's just a virus.
Jason10:34Moment view
Here, take your smelly toilet paper.
David10:37Moment view
And it's so annoying. It's so annoying. You would get a virus.
Natalie10:40Moment view
Exactly, that's what the funniest part. That's why we're laughing at you. It's not because we're ganging up on you, it's because like, how the hell?
David10:46Moment view
Especially because, yeah, because like Macs are like famous for like very rarely getting viruses. So it's really—
Jason10:52Moment view
it's not a virus. Something got installed on there. It's like a, it's like a, um, that's a virus. It's not a virus.
David10:59Moment view
Yes, it is. It's like a pop-up.
Jason11:00Moment view
Yeah, it's a pop-up, right?
David11:02Moment view
Yeah, that's a virus. Yeah, like coronavirus. Jay, if you, if you die, what do you want to be remembered by?
Jason11:09Moment view
Uh, just my kids.
David11:10Moment view
Really? That's it?
Jason11:11Moment view
That's it.
David11:12Moment view
That's your legacy? It's just your kids?
Jason11:14Moment view
Yeah, I don't have—
David11:14Moment view
but what do you want your kids to remember?
Jason11:16Moment view
Used to be like that. I used to have like a lot of ego and stuff. I don't have it.
David11:18Moment view
Okay, but what do you want your kids to remember you by? And don't say being—
Jason11:21Moment view
that was a good dad.
David11:24Moment view
No, like, like when your kids go and like when someone comes up to your kids, it was like, what was your dad like? Yeah, like what do they want? What do you want them to say in a perfect world?
Jason11:34Moment view
Are you planning on killing me?
David11:37Moment view
Because you better make those changes quick, motherfucker.
Jason11:39Moment view
They'll be like, Dad, your dad— my dad was the best. He tried so hard. He loved us so much. He was the most fun. He was the fun dad.
David11:47Moment view
My dad was great. He tried his ass off. You know, sometimes—
Jason11:51Moment view
I mean, what do you want? Why do you think your dad would answer that?
David11:54Moment view
I would just— I'd be curious how my dad would describe me.
Jason11:58Moment view
It's not about you. It's a question about your dad.
David12:00Moment view
I know, but just imagine my dad describing me, like, after I die and someone goes, how was David? Like, how— like, I have no idea.
Jason12:06Moment view
I tried to get your parents to open up about you once.
David12:08Moment view
What words would he use?
Jason12:10Moment view
I don't know.
David12:10Moment view
How would I describe my dad? Oh, it's easy. I always like— he's very, um, I mean, like I said, like the main thing I learned from him was like, whatever you're gonna do, you like do it right. And like, I like, it's kind of like, do it to your best of your abilities. And I really live by that.
Jason12:21Moment view
How would you describe your dad?
David12:23Moment view
I just told you, dude. Are you not listening? I literally just said it.
Jason12:26Moment view
No, that's not— those aren't adjectives. You told one fucking anecdote about him.
David12:31Moment view
You didn't open up at all. No. Okay, how would I describe my dad? Um, I think he's funny, determined, Hardworking.
Jason12:37Moment view
Good.
David12:37Moment view
Um, and about your mom— passionate. How about my mom?
Jason12:42Moment view
Yeah.
David12:42Moment view
Oh, she's a really good sense of humor.
Jason12:44Moment view
Your mom does have a great sense of humor.
David12:45Moment view
Yeah, it's really good.
Jason12:46Moment view
Very funny. Um, he does too.
David12:47Moment view
Yeah. And, uh, she's very, um, she's a very good people person. She's super casual, like, just easy.
Jason12:54Moment view
It's funny when we did those shows in Chicago and they came out, like, into the city all dressed up.
David12:59Moment view
Oh yeah, it is.
Jason13:00Moment view
Like, your dad had, like, the little fedora hat on. And they had like, they had like dress-up clothes. Like I'd never seen—
David13:05Moment view
Exactly, dude. When my parents go out, it is, it is straight up like, like, like, uh, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Like their grandparents just won an award and they're going and they have to put on their best suit.
Jason13:15Moment view
Yeah, like, and their friends came and they were dressed.
David13:18Moment view
It totally feels like they live in this small, really small house, right? And this is like they're going to the big city, so they have to put on like their nice fedora and like the nice red tie and the nice shoes. Yeah, that's exactly what my parents said.
Jason13:30Moment view
They were kind of— when I saw them, I was like, oh, they're kind of hip for, for parents.
David13:33Moment view
I think that's just because my dad wears a fedora.
Jason13:35Moment view
It might have been it.
David13:36Moment view
Yeah.
Jason13:36Moment view
And your mom was gushing over John Stamos.
David13:38Moment view
Dude, my mom over John Stamos made me so uncomfortable.
Jason13:41Moment view
I never seen her get excited like that at all.
David13:43Moment view
I've never seen my mom that happy in her life.
Jason13:45Moment view
I didn't think she would get excited.
David13:46Moment view
She's been married to my dad for over, you know, 15, 20 years. Why'd we just freeze there?
Jason13:53Moment view
I don't understand what you said. It's getting completed. Scan completed.
David13:57Moment view
We just froze. No one said a word. I looked at Natalie and Jason and they just like, they weren't even acknowledging me. It's like I just talked into nothing. This podcast, man, this is fucking tough. Scan completed.
Jason14:11Moment view
The podcasts are good.
David14:12Moment view
No, I like them. What's your favorite part of the— what's your favorite part about this podcast?
Jason14:16Moment view
It's over.
David14:17Moment view
Yeah.
Jason14:18Moment view
It is actually on Saturday.
David14:20Moment view
It does feel good when it's over. But like, it feels like we achieved something.
Natalie14:24Moment view
Well, because we are achieving something. We're getting work done, but we're also enjoying our time together.
Jason14:28Moment view
Before the podcast, I have such podcast anxiety.
David14:31Moment view
Really?
Jason14:31Moment view
Oh, the worst anxiety.
Natalie14:32Moment view
And that's why I call you, David.
Jason14:34Moment view
And I carry it all week.
David14:36Moment view
I get podcast anxiety, dude. When Jason— oh my God, when Jason calls me— I mean, we don't talk anymore because of the quarantine, but he'll call me. It's only because you're not good on the phone. It's only about the podcast, man.
Jason14:48Moment view
That's bullshit. That is bullshit.
David14:50Moment view
The only text I get is podcast. How about, uh, how are you, David? David, how is everything going?
Jason14:55Moment view
Oh yeah, 'cause you're just so impatient.
David14:58Moment view
I wish I could open up to you. With your failings. I wish I could open up to you, man. I really just need someone to talk to. You're the worst.
Jason15:03Moment view
I call you and you're playing video, all I hear is, huh, uh-huh, what, no.
David15:07Moment view
Mike, buy me back.
Jason15:08Moment view
Mike, buy me back. You have the headset on and that's it. It's like, okay, talk later. You are the worst on the phone.
David15:13Moment view
Jason.
Jason15:13Moment view
You fucking talk for 30 seconds. That's why I don't call.
David15:16Moment view
Yeah, Jason will call me and I'll just be playing video games. You hate me playing video games.
Jason15:20Moment view
I wanna take an ax and I wanna smash that PlayStation.
Natalie15:23Moment view
We all hate you playing video games.
Jason15:25Moment view
I'm so sick of you playing video games because you even said it yourself, it's a waste of time.
David15:29Moment view
Such a waste of time. And I don't know why I'm doing it again.
Jason15:31Moment view
I don't know why I'm doing it because you're hiding.
David15:32Moment view
I feel fucking crazy.
Jason15:34Moment view
You're hiding.
David15:35Moment view
What am I hiding from?
Jason15:36Moment view
Reality.
David15:37Moment view
Yeah, that's what I feel like. Yeah, yeah. I was talking to my friends, I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Jason15:41Moment view
And why didn't you come out here and like bake a cake with Natalie?
Natalie15:43Moment view
Yeah, why don't you do anything like fun?
Jason15:45Moment view
Even like, I asked him for like Monopoly.
David15:47Moment view
I asked him to go for like a walk today because we've been doing stuff that's fun.
Jason15:51Moment view
Like, no, not stuff like that.
David15:52Moment view
That's the last 2, 3 years we've just been doing fun.
Jason15:55Moment view
That's not what I'm talking about.
David15:56Moment view
Enjoy Video games, my pastime, what I used to do with my friends every day during summer vacation. I'm having a good time. I'm reliving my fucking childhood past right now. My favorite thing to do. That's why I love it. Don't worry, I'll get—
Jason16:09Moment view
Mix it up a little.
David16:10Moment view
I'll get back to having fun with you guys. I know you guys all miss me.
Natalie16:15Moment view
Yeah, but— I, for one, am totally okay with the distracted and juvenile.
David16:20Moment view
Yeah, I'll try to be more attentive on our phone calls, okay? Next time you call me, what I do is Jason will call me and I'll put him on speaker and I'll just be playing video games and I'll forget that Jason's reasons on the phone and I feel bad.
Jason16:30Moment view
Yeah, that's why I don't call, right? You never call me.
David16:33Moment view
Well, that's for sure.
Jason16:34Moment view
All you ever call me is when you need an Instagram caption. You don't even call, you just text. You just send the photo with the caption that you came up with.
David16:40Moment view
I wish you were some help.
Jason16:41Moment view
I, I've tried to be your help of you.
Natalie16:44Moment view
Your help of you.
Jason16:45Moment view
Son of a bitch. I hate this quarantine. I hate everything about it. So fucking done with it.
David16:50Moment view
Jay, if you could build— if you could build the perfect wife, What would it be? Like, the perfect companion?
Jason16:57Moment view
The perfect companion? Somebody really funny. Yeah, yeah, that's number one.
David17:01Moment view
Number one, 100%.
Jason17:02Moment view
Gotta be funny.
David17:03Moment view
I agree.
Jason17:04Moment view
But that's tough to find because, you know, women aren't funny. Okay, lovely. I'm kidding, it's a joke. My ex-wife was hilarious. There's a lot of funny women.
David17:17Moment view
Should we say something else?
Jason17:19Moment view
I'm trying to cover up what I just said, so, so no, your publicist doesn't need to say—
David17:23Moment view
people are fucking— jokes don't work anymore.
Jason17:25Moment view
I'm clearing it up right now, saying I was kidding, obviously women are funny.
David17:28Moment view
Obviously you're fucking kidding, but there's always people out there that go, "What he said about women, not funny." Like, it's obviously a fucking joke.
Jason17:34Moment view
It's just a joke.
David17:35Moment view
But I know we're gonna get a fucking tweet about it. I hope someone, please someone tweet me.
Jason17:38Moment view
They should tweet me and then I'll tweet back and I'm gonna list my top 10 comedians and 4 of them are women.
David17:43Moment view
Why not 5 or 6?
Jason17:46Moment view
Melissa McCarthy's the funniest comedian out there. Nikki Glaser's a hilarious stand-up.
David17:50Moment view
I love Nikki Glaser.
Jason17:51Moment view
Great. You only like her 'cause she likes you and had you on your show.
David17:55Moment view
I liked her before you scum bag.
Jason17:56Moment view
She wouldn't even be in your fucking orbit. That's such bullshit.
David17:58Moment view
I liked her before. I went—
Jason17:59Moment view
Bullshit.
David18:00Moment view
I went to—
Jason18:01Moment view
Tell me one bit that Nikki Glaser has.
David18:02Moment view
I went to the roast of Alec Baldwin and she was the funniest there. Oh, oh, okay. And then she invited me on her show.
Jason18:07Moment view
Oh, okay.
David18:07Moment view
So I liked her before anything, you fucking asshole. Go scan your computer for more viruses.
Jason18:12Moment view
Misogynist completed.
David18:15Moment view
Is it— what's that woman's name? Wolf is her last name?
Jason18:18Moment view
Michelle Wolf?
David18:19Moment view
Is that who I'm talking about?
Jason18:20Moment view
She's really funny.
David18:21Moment view
Yeah, she's really funny.
Jason18:21Moment view
Like dangerously funny.
David18:22Moment view
Yeah, I just watched her. Okay.
Jason18:24Moment view
Tina Fey?
David18:25Moment view
Okay, good. I think we're covered.
Jason18:28Moment view
Oh my God. Natalie Meriduena?
David18:30Moment view
Still listening. I think we're good. I think they bought it. Um, that's funny. That's funny. That's really funny.
Jason18:39Moment view
Sometimes people say to me, they go, oh, you're the, you're the funniest in the vlog squad. And I go, well, that's not saying much.
David18:45Moment view
That's fucked up. AJ, be honest with me.
Jason18:48Moment view
What?
David18:48Moment view
You can say no.
Jason18:49Moment view
Okay.
David18:50Moment view
Do you think I could ever do stand-up comedy?
Jason18:52Moment view
Yeah, you sort of do it already.
David18:55Moment view
No, I don't. But do you think I could get on stage and like and like do that, do that whole thing.
Jason18:59Moment view
Yeah, for sure.
David19:01Moment view
That's not the answer I wanted.
Jason19:02Moment view
What did you want to hear?
David19:03Moment view
I was expecting to go, yeah, but you know what, like I feel like something like that. Like that's where I expected it to go.
Jason19:09Moment view
No, why would I say that? Why would I put you down like that? Why do you think I don't think you would want to do stand-up?
David19:14Moment view
Well, I don't want you to put me down. I just want you to be honest.
Jason19:15Moment view
I think you want me to say no so you can knock it off your list. You don't have to think about it because I think you've been watching some stand-up specials and you're like, I'd like to try that.
David19:22Moment view
Yeah, I would like to try it.
Jason19:23Moment view
You should do it.
David19:24Moment view
I feel like if I was to like go through everything I've ever recorded in my life, yeah, and pull like moments, I could maybe do like a 20-minute bit.
Jason19:33Moment view
I mean, why don't you do it? You'll never do it.
David19:36Moment view
Yeah, I won't.
Jason19:37Moment view
You're not built for that.
David19:38Moment view
Oh, are you just saying this to get me to do it?
Jason19:41Moment view
No, no, you're just not built for it.
David19:43Moment view
What do you mean?
Jason19:45Moment view
I just don't think you're built for it at all.
David19:46Moment view
Oh, is this what I wanted?
Jason19:47Moment view
You're kind of a pussy.
David19:50Moment view
This is literally what I expected you to say.
Jason19:52Moment view
I mean, I'm not built for it either.
David19:53Moment view
I'm pussy.
Jason19:54Moment view
It's so hard.
David19:54Moment view
Yeah, I can't— I mean, what I mean is like, how you're a comedian and like, like you go on stage and you bomb and, and people boo you and shit. Like, how the fuck do you recover from that?
Jason20:05Moment view
Yeah, you get a really thick skin.
David20:07Moment view
How many times were you on stage where you bombed?
Jason20:09Moment view
A thousand.
David20:11Moment view
Be serious.
Natalie20:12Moment view
How many times you've been on stage total? A thousand.
David20:16Moment view
How many times? I don't know.
Jason20:17Moment view
How many times have I bombed?
David20:19Moment view
Yeah.
Jason20:20Moment view
Yeah, hundreds.
David20:21Moment view
And what was like the— what was like the worst thing someone said to you while you were on stage? Like, did anybody ever heckle you?
Jason20:26Moment view
Yeah, one time someone heckled me and I said something about like his like brother dying or something like that, and it was really bad.
David20:34Moment view
And no one laughed?
Jason20:35Moment view
No one laughed. Yeah, really bad.
David20:37Moment view
What do you do when no one laughs?
Jason20:39Moment view
Just fucking eat shit.
David20:42Moment view
Yeah, I know, but okay, I'm sorry, you have to paint this picture more because people aren't gonna experience what you experience.
Jason20:46Moment view
I don't remember. Like, when you—
David20:48Moment view
like, you bomb, right? And then you have to go off stage, you have to go to the green room, and then you have to drive home. Now you're home. Like, all that— like, what the fuck is going through your head?
Jason20:57Moment view
All you— what you do is like, your brain is just like— your brain, it's just like anything else. Like, if you were being tortured every day, you'd find the one little good thing about the torture. So you would say, like, let's say you bomb, but you would say, oh, but there was that one joke that kind of got a laugh.
David21:15Moment view
Well, I feel like you described stand-up comedians in like a nutshell.
Jason21:18Moment view
Yeah.
David21:18Moment view
I mean, imagine you're getting tortured every day and then someone finds you Entertaining.
Jason21:23Moment view
Yeah. And then eventually bombing is good because it makes you just immune to it. It's like the virus, you know?
David21:28Moment view
Yeah. And then you just don't care.
Jason21:29Moment view
And you just don't care. You're just like, oh yeah, I hate shit. And then lots of times too, it's like, you, you know, you, you can have a good set and then you go there the next night and it's just the crowd's not— you have a bad spot, you go on late, everyone's gone, right? That has a lot to do with it too.
David21:43Moment view
Like, how many— have you ever bombed and just went home and cried?
Jason21:47Moment view
No, I never cried.
David21:48Moment view
You've never cried from failing? No, you never in your life have failed at anything where you've cried?
Jason21:53Moment view
No, I never took it that seriously.
David21:55Moment view
Wow.
Jason21:56Moment view
Like, I never took it to heart like that. I mean, maybe I should have. Yeah, I've cried over other things. I cry over things all the time, but that's not stand-up. There's this TikTok that Charlie loves, and it's a 2-year-old boy, and he's blonde, he's really cute, and he gets these chips and he goes, chips, chips, chips, chips. And I wanted to put it on my Instagram story and be like, Taylor feeding David. David, why are you always getting under Natalie's skin? Why, why do you do that? I don't know.
David22:23Moment view
I feel like, I, I feel like I learned like getting under people's skin from my dad.
Jason22:28Moment view
Really?
David22:28Moment view
So my dad would like come in and he knew I hated karate, I hated piano, and like every time he'd do it— and I don't blame him because I'm the same way— he'd go, time to go to piano, like that. And I fucking hate it. And Natalie does that shit now. Now you will come into my room room and she'll be like, time to get to work. And she'll like open the blinds like she knows she's pissing me off. She like opens the blinds.
Jason22:49Moment view
Yeah, but you are a giant, giant piece of garbage. I mean, you sit on that bed. Yeah, I mean, I'm rushing. You know how hard it is to motivate somebody, and especially you? Like, it— that's like not a fun job at all.
David23:02Moment view
It is hard to motivate me, but you have to let me motivate myself.
Natalie23:05Moment view
But that's not—
Jason23:06Moment view
but that's not—
Natalie23:07Moment view
that's not being motivated.
Jason23:08Moment view
She has meetings, she schedule.
Natalie23:10Moment view
There's people that don't communicate with you that are only communicating with me and yelling at me because I'm not, you know, getting you up.
Jason23:16Moment view
You know how many times Jack calls me and we'll start to talk about the problem?
David23:19Moment view
Yeah.
Jason23:20Moment view
Which is like you. And then Jack and I are like talking about you as the problem.
David23:24Moment view
Yeah.
Jason23:25Moment view
And then it immediately will shift over. We're like, our hands are tied. And then Jack will go, all right, I'll call Natalie. Like, which basically means Jack's gonna go fucking bother— blame Natalie. When the problem is you.
David23:37Moment view
What's the problem?
Jason23:38Moment view
You fucking sit in that bed and you play video games. Guys, everyone's on your time.
David23:42Moment view
I'm doing my part, I'm quarantining. And it's fine with you. Oh my God.
Natalie23:48Moment view
This goes deeper than that.
David23:49Moment view
Come on, like, give me a break. I'm finally doing my God's gift, I'm a hero.
Jason23:53Moment view
Wait till he gets a girlfriend, it'll all change.
Natalie23:56Moment view
I just don't believe that. Like, I don't think a person, like a human can just fucking transform into like a beautiful butterfly.
Jason24:02Moment view
No, someone will come in and—
David24:03Moment view
You don't think I can have a girlfriend?
Natalie24:05Moment view
I think that you can. I think there are plenty of women out there that are dying to be your girlfriend.
David24:09Moment view
That's not what I mean.
Natalie24:09Moment view
I'm talking—
David24:10Moment view
I mean, you don't think I can be in a happy relationship?
Natalie24:12Moment view
I don't know.
David24:13Moment view
I think I can.
Natalie24:14Moment view
I know someone will come in and flip this house, I'm telling you.
David24:17Moment view
I know, it's gonna be great.
Jason24:19Moment view
It's good. It's gonna be great.
David24:20Moment view
I'm excited to be whipped.
Jason24:22Moment view
You are?
David24:22Moment view
That's my favorite. When you're whipped in a relationship, that's how you know you're in the right spot.
Jason24:26Moment view
I don't think I'll ever be.
David24:27Moment view
But I'm talking about genuinely whipped, like you're not like—
Natalie24:29Moment view
but that's what I'm saying—
David24:30Moment view
you're not like following their orders. You're like in love with them and you'll do anything. So you—
Jason24:33Moment view
oh, right, right.
David24:34Moment view
Yeah, but I'm not saying you're like being like fucking ordered or bossed around. Uh-oh, like I'm saying, you're just like—
Jason24:39Moment view
not my definition of whipped.
David24:40Moment view
Okay, right, maybe I'm not using the right word, but that's what I mean by whipped. It's just like so in love that like you'll do whatever and you'll change or whatever. Out of all of us, who do you think would be the best at like taking someone out and burying the dead body?
Jason24:53Moment view
Natalie would be the most efficient at it.
David24:55Moment view
You think?
Jason24:56Moment view
Yeah, she'd be really good.
David24:57Moment view
I'm saying also killing. Oh, killing, and it's a bad guy. It's a bad guy, but you still can't get caught because you'll go to Natalie. But it's a bad guy, 100%.
Jason25:04Moment view
And I have so much faith in Natalie to put a bullet right between someone's eyes.
David25:08Moment view
Oh my God, no fucking way. Yeah. Oh, actually, I could see it easily.
Jason25:12Moment view
You know when she yells at Jonah? You know when Jonah frustrates her?
David25:14Moment view
Yeah.
Jason25:15Moment view
And she like turns into like so fucking pissed, and you're like, whoa.
David25:18Moment view
Yeah, yeah. Whoa, that's hot. No, no, I feel like Natalie— Natalie would be the perfect person to like give the gun to and go, do it, do it! And then she'd pull it. But I feel like she needs like that extra push. Like, I don't think She'd pull the trigger on her own.
Jason25:34Moment view
Who do you think would be a better president of the United States, you or Natalie?
Natalie25:39Moment view
Um, I think I'm more well-educated, to be honest.
David25:42Moment view
It'll be a boring president. You want like a fun one?
Jason25:45Moment view
No, we don't want another fun president. We had that, it didn't work out so good. We're all sick and every restaurant's closed. We'll go with Natalie.
David25:55Moment view
Okay, Natalie it is.
Jason25:57Moment view
Oh my God.
David25:59Moment view
Um, I don't know, I feel like— here's the thing, if I was president, I'm the most indecisive person in the world. So I'd be very much influenced by the people that are in my, like, cabin or whatever. Like, okay, cabinet, cabin, sure. Yeah, so I'd be very much influenced around, like, I'd have to ask everybody. I'd be like, I'd even call my friends from my hometown. Like, low-key, I really don't want to do this, but I'm kind of getting some push from, uh, from my senior members here. Like, you know what I mean? Oh my God, I hope I don't ever run and someone pulls I know, I was literally thinking about that. That would suck if I run for president and someone pulls—
Jason26:35Moment view
you're gonna run for president?
David26:37Moment view
You never know, I may get bored with all this stuff.
Jason26:39Moment view
Bullshit, bro.
David26:40Moment view
If anybody can do it, it's a YouTuber.
Jason26:42Moment view
You'll, you'll never run for president.
David26:43Moment view
Oh yeah, keep this audio clip, motherfuckers.
Jason26:46Moment view
You'll never run for president. You don't have the constitution for it. You're just not built like that.
Natalie26:51Moment view
You're not even a US citizen, so you legally can't.
David26:54Moment view
What is my toilet antics have to do with this? What do you mean another Constitution for it?
Jason27:00Moment view
Huh?
David27:00Moment view
What do you mean another Constitution?
Jason27:01Moment view
You just don't have that kind of makeup. You're not like, you don't care about other people.
David27:06Moment view
I do. I wanna help everybody.
Jason27:09Moment view
Well, I mean, you do wanna help everybody, but I don't think you have, you don't have the patience for it. You know how boring it is to be a politician and be the president?
David27:16Moment view
No, it's probably really fun to be the president.
Jason27:17Moment view
No.
David27:18Moment view
Dude, first of all.
Jason27:19Moment view
Would you wanna be the president right now?
David27:21Moment view
Let me start by saying this. It's an Oval Office, right?
Jason27:25Moment view
Yeah.
David27:27Moment view
Now imagine, imagine a tennis ball. You know how you bounce it off the wall? Yeah. This you kind of just throw alongside the wall and it comes all the way around because it's an oval.
Jason27:36Moment view
That's what you'd be doing as president. You'd be doing that for 3 hours trying to get into a red cup.
David27:40Moment view
That'd be my first order of business. And after the ping pong ball hits the red cup, I'd upload the TikTok and I would, I would Well, second order of business would be Taco Tuesday every day, but that's obvious. And I could get those, I could get those done with pretty quick. Nat, would I be a good president? Back me up here.
Natalie27:56Moment view
I'm gonna vote no on this one.
David27:57Moment view
Okay, but you're my, you're my, you're my vice president, so we're still a team. Okay, that's actually a pretty good pair. You have me and Natalie.
Jason28:05Moment view
Pretty good.
David28:06Moment view
So you have the brains and then you have the, um, the creative decisions. Like, I'll be like, like, what color will the flag be this year?
Jason28:14Moment view
That's the job of the first lady.
David28:15Moment view
And I change it to orange. I changed the American flag to orange.
Jason28:19Moment view
You should have Natalie be president. You marry Natalie and then you're the first lady.
Natalie28:23Moment view
No, that would work.
David28:24Moment view
First lady, dude, that sounds like the best, like, tables have turned situation. It sounds like a movie. She works for a YouTuber and then all of a sudden she's the president and I'm her assistant.
Jason28:36Moment view
Could you imagine?
David28:36Moment view
Oh my God, it'd be so funny.
Jason28:37Moment view
I think Natalie would be a great president.
David28:39Moment view
You think you could run this country?
Natalie28:40Moment view
That's crazy.
Jason28:41Moment view
Oh, definitely not. I don't I'm not built for it at all.
David28:44Moment view
Who would you rather have run the country, me or you?
Jason28:47Moment view
Me.
David28:51Moment view
Really?
Jason28:52Moment view
Yeah.
David28:52Moment view
Yeah, you're right. I— listen, I'm, I, I'll be—
Jason28:55Moment view
there's a reason you can't be president until you're 35, right?
David28:58Moment view
I'm gonna do— I'm gonna do when I'm younger though.
Jason29:00Moment view
What?
David29:00Moment view
I'm gonna do when I'm younger.
Jason29:02Moment view
Yeah, you're gonna break that rule? Yeah, maybe. I'm trying to think what else would be a good job for you.
David29:08Moment view
I'd love to be a principal.
Jason29:11Moment view
I'm kind of principled.
Natalie29:12Moment view
That'd be fun, actually, if you like in some way started your own like school system and like had like X-Men.
Jason29:18Moment view
Okay, everyone.
David29:19Moment view
Yeah, like X-Men.
Natalie29:21Moment view
Yeah, kind of literally like your own academy.
David29:23Moment view
Stop telling people I know how to fly. You gotta keep that between us. Wait, what do you mean I start my own school system?
Natalie29:29Moment view
Like your own account? Like this?
David29:30Moment view
Yeah, dude, people listen to this podcast, they're like, these guys are fucking morons. They just shot his idea down to be president, so now they're saying he should start his own school district.
Natalie29:41Moment view
An academy where like you have— because schools in my opinion are a little bit outdated, like the curriculum is very outdated.
David29:47Moment view
I agree.
Natalie29:47Moment view
And so you have your own academy that's geared towards like the careers of the future, or like creative careers of the future, and like the classes are something more fun. More—
David29:56Moment view
yeah, I feel like I could do a good job teaching. Like I could do a good job teaching a class, maybe like— yeah, and like be fun, but something like lighthearted. Not lighthearted, something like that that's not very textbook driven. Like I'm not good with like— I'm not good with facts.
Natalie30:07Moment view
I'm not saying you're going to teach history. Like, you're going to teach things that are—
David30:09Moment view
because you think I could do it?
Jason30:11Moment view
You, you— oh my God, you in a school? That's like, you're made for it. What?
David30:17Moment view
It sounds like you just woke up from like— sorry, from being frozen. Wait, you as principal?
Jason30:22Moment view
Well, you in a school is— that's like, yeah, that's your wheelhouse, man.
David30:25Moment view
That does kind of sound like my place, huh?
Jason30:27Moment view
You'd be the guy— you ever see that video of the principal that has a handshake for each kid?
David30:32Moment view
Dude, I just fucking saw that. You did?
Jason30:34Moment view
I literally—
David30:34Moment view
when you said principal, yeah, that's what I thought of. I thought of the guy and I thought of how gross that is.
Jason30:40Moment view
Well, yeah.
David30:41Moment view
Well, because he's touching every hand. But I thought of— I was like, I have sweaty palms and that's my biggest fear is like shaking everyone's hand in a school. So I'd never be able to do that.
Jason30:51Moment view
Okay.
David30:51Moment view
Oh, sorry. No, that's not what I was thinking. I was thinking about how I would be scared to go to school if I was a kid, if I knew that my principal was going to high-five me or shake my hand.
Jason31:00Moment view
Oh yeah.
David31:00Moment view
Because my palms were so sweaty as a kid, I'd be too embarrassed. So I'd have to make up like a fist-bound handshake with him. Dude, sometimes my hands would get so sweaty that my paper would tear apart. It would rip because it was so wet. They used to fucking pour. Nat, do you remember my hands and how sweaty they were? Is that not—
Natalie31:19Moment view
uh, no, not really. It's not like a memory.
David31:21Moment view
Dude, so sorry.
Jason31:21Moment view
No, David, I have my own life, my own things, my own problems. I don't think about your sweaty fucking—
David31:27Moment view
it's the worst too when someone catches you with sweaty hands. It's like, so it's like I was like, oh, it's such a hard thing to explain.
Jason31:33Moment view
Didn't you bond with somebody who also had sweaty hands?
Natalie31:35Moment view
Fallon.
Jason31:36Moment view
Oh, Fallon.
David31:36Moment view
Yeah, Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, he said he had sweaty hands. I touched them, they weren't that wet. You know what the worst was? I was sitting in class and the teacher was going around talking about handshakes and how important it is to have a good handshake. And dude, I was fucking sweating like profusely, like through my hair, like every part of my body my body was sweating because I'm like, he's going around the room and he's shaking people's hands.
Jason32:01Moment view
Why was your teacher going around shaking hands?
David32:02Moment view
Because he was like teaching us about like, like just like— I don't know what he was doing, just greetings. Yeah, yeah. And, and he came over to me and I was so sweaty, and I shook his hand, and he even brought it up. He's like, oh, a little bit sweaty. And bro, that made me so uncomfortable.
Jason32:16Moment view
And has that scarred you in some way?
David32:18Moment view
Yeah, I'm even frozen thinking about it.
Jason32:20Moment view
Really?
David32:20Moment view
Yeah. And like, I'll be in meetings now and like I can't even focus on the meeting because I know at the end of the meeting I'm gonna have to shake everybody's hand. All right guys, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Um, guys, Natalie is working on a new book. It's called Living with the Devil.
Natalie32:39Moment view
Um, that's like a really good title for my—
David32:43Moment view
Living with the Devil.
Jason32:45Moment view
That is really good.
Natalie32:45Moment view
I love that.
Jason32:47Moment view
Thank you.
Natalie32:47Moment view
I'm writing that down.
David32:48Moment view
I'm writing that down.
Jason32:49Moment view
She's gonna an offer in her inbox.

Living with the Devil. You know what would be the beautiful part about the book is it's like, it's so dark and twisted, and it's like, how much she hates me. But then at the end, it's just like a beautiful heartwarming ending where like, chapter 18, but it wasn't so bad after all. And then it's like all the good things. That would be a cool book. 18 chapters of you just trashing me, and the final 2 just like, wow, he was a hero indeed.

No, but Natalie's not writing a book. I was just kidding. Thing. That's a weird end to the vlog— or what is this, a podcast? Weird end to the podcast. Um, but go follow Jason on Instagram. He does really funny skits on there. He's a really funny guy. I've been loving keeping up with his YouTube videos lately. Uh, I'm David Dobrik, and this has been A Viewz Podcast. We'll see you guys later. My name's Jeff.
