Surprising My Mom With Her Celebrity Crush

What's up guys, welcome back to Views. Yes, Jay, can you hear us for sure, you fuckface?

Yes, I can. Wow, off the gate.

I knew that's where it was going to go.

This is what happened. Not only was—

fuck, fuck, give me the—

she was—

give me that, give me the insider info for why we recorded a whole pod and it's deleted in 34 minutes of mediocre pottery. Mediocre? Jay, I gave celebrity tips.

It was, it was mediocre pottery.

Love tips. Wait, What did I even talk about? I don't know.

See, exactly.

But Jay, that's— I fucking forget what we talk about every pod, so that's not fair. Whoa, what was that? Are you dying?

I've been sick.

Wait, Jay, that was a crazy cough.

I know.

When an old person coughs like that, that's not—

Or when an old person finishes a bottle of water.

Yeah.

You ever see that? You ever see an old person like finish a bottle of water? It's like goes up really slow and they're like—

No, no, no.

You never seen that?

No, no, no. What I'm just trying to say is like, that's like scary when I see you cough like that.

Yeah, man, I've been sick. Guess who got me sick? Me. David Double. Yeah.

But I'm telling you, it's a good— I'm trying to get everybody sick.

Yeah, I know. Well, I know you're going around spitting in everybody's mouth.

Jay Shetty came by the other day. Jay Shetty came by 2 days ago, and I was like, yo, I'm sick, but if you want to get it out of the way, yeah, I'd happily give you a smooch.

What did he say?

He goes, oh, thank you. Yeah, but I do believe in that. I believe in like, if someone's sick, if you hear more than 2 people are sick, you should just get on with it and like find the source.

Sure.

And just get it over with.

Huddle together.

Like Taylor's getting sick now, and I'm like, this is good. You're going to get it get it over with before Halloween.

Yeah, but then he's gonna be prime during Halloween now.

What do you mean it's gonna be prime?

Then I'll be back to you.

I'm just— I, I— dude, first of all, I'm on antibiotics. I do this thing where I just—

why did you just sound like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy there?

Because I think they're, um, I'm gonna say a hot take about antibiotics. I think they heal everything. I think you could just pop them in your mouth. Yeah, whenever, and you're good to go. Because I was on my deathbed 6 days ago, like quite literally.

You were?

I'm on day 4. Oh, am I on antibiotics right now? I feel better than I felt all year. I feel better than after my Zealot transformation.

Really? Yeah. That's why you've been so chipper.

Yeah, I've been super chipper. And I asked my doctor, so I had this whole theory. I had this whole theory with my doctor. I was like, well, can I not? I only take antibiotics. I only allow myself to take them twice a year because I've heard that it's going to fuck with your immunity. You build up immunity. You build up immunity. But I told my doctor that because I have— okay, so here's a little flex. I have this doctor that I text. His name in my phone is Doctor.

Yeah. And like the guy who wants pictures.

Oh, why?

He wants pictures for his kids, right?

No, that's like his assistant.

No, that's his assistant.

Oh, that's—

he doesn't even know that happens.

Okay, let's take that off.

He doesn't even know that happens. But my doctor's really sick. Not sick. He's dope.

He's dope.

He's healthy. He's dope because I text him. So like after Halloween or after my birthday, Yeah, we needed an IV and I was like, is there any way we can get an IV? And he's like, it'll be there in 15 minutes. In 15 minutes he got an IV to my house.

What's the cost?

Not a lot.

Well, it's $9,000, Jay, but it was here in 15 minutes.

No, no, no. I think it's like there's an annual fee that you pay, but I think it's like $6,500 a year.

Yeah.

Like, I think it's something really doable.

IVs anytime.

I know.

And you can call him, text him at any time.

You can text him at any time, call him about anything. Anytime I'm feeling sick, I send him a picture of my throat and he goes, this is what you need. This, this, and just rest. Most of the time it's like, you're fine, just go to sleep. That's what he says. And it's incredible. So I texted him, I was like, can I just have antibiotics? I have a big week ahead. I just need to get this out of the way. And he's like, CVS, 20 minutes. And then Taylor goes, picks it up. And then I asked him, I'm like, so I heard you build immunity if you take antibiotics without cause. Without 100% cause. That's why I still only take them twice a year. That is my rule. But he told me that that's wrong. The actual virus builds immunity, like as a collective. So not your own body building immunity, but the whole—

The germ is building.

The germ is building a tolerance to the antibiotic. So like in the world, the germ will be stronger, You know what I mean?

But in you, you're good.

Yeah. So, and then I asked my Microsoft Copilot, I was like, I asked my AI, I was like, so is that, so when my doctor told me, blah, blah, blah, I told him what my doctor said and he is like, yes, your doctor's right. And then I was like, so basically that's me being, it's me being selfish taking more antibiotics. Ooh. Because it's not actually affecting me, just affecting the greater good. Mm-hmm. Does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense.

But I never knew that. 'Cause I think you probably thought that it was just like your own immunity.

I thought that antibiotics, Well, I think it is also true that antibiotics kill all bacteria, the good and the bad.

Sure.

So that—

I feel incredible. I mean, this is— I'm scared of the comedown. I feel like I'm on Molly. I don't know what he gave me.

Really?

Yeah, it's pretty incredible. I woke up today and I was like, let's go shower. I said stuff like that out loud.

That's so nice. That's like the best feeling.

You know how rare those days are?

Incredibly rare. When you're like motivated to actually get the fuck up out of bed.

I hate showering.

Showering's tough, especially in different places.

I'm hairy too, so it's tough to— I always tell Naveen I don't want to shower because I have to dry. It's tough to dry when you're hairy.

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

Yeah, are you hairy? Yeah, just down below, right?

Just down below, you know what I mean, Natalie? Um, but yeah, what can we expect in the vlog tomorrow? In the vlog? Oh yeah, it's coming out tomorrow.

Yeah.

We got to surprise my mom with her celebrity crush. It was a big deal.

Many years in the making.

Many years in the making. This is like a video that I— my mom told me that she'd always— she'd only be in my vlog for one reason, and that's to be surprised by this man. She said, that's the only time you can film me, only time I want to be in a vlog, blah, blah, blah. And for some reason, I got her to be in the vlog without her expecting it.

Yeah.

I think she thought I was like filming something. I don't know. I tricked her into it. I was like, her friends were in town and I was like, do you guys want a free trip to New York?

Yeah.

And then all three of them went. We all went first class, took a helicopter. It's really, really fun. And then my mom thought we were going to some premiere for work, but really it was to be surprised by this man.

Oh damn.

I can just say, right? Who cares?

Like, why don't you wait?

Why?

Well, I think it's going up before the vlog.

Yeah, I know, but let the people know. It's kind of okay.

Yeah, if you want to, if they're the podcast listeners, it's Jon Bon Jovi. And you're to blame, you gave love.

Uh, which is really sick. Yeah, my mom was super excited. She was really embarrassed after. Remember, we had to like talk her off a ledge for like an hour. My mom was like, I fucked it up. She was like, I, I was trying to play it cool and it's like I didn't. And like, this was all off camera. There's like one moment that I got that was on camera, but like off camera, like in the car, she was just like She was like panicked. She was really panicked. I was like, yeah, because she, because she, she reacted like, like a true fan, which is what I was worried about. I was like, I think my mom, is my mom gonna be nervous on camera? Is she like not gonna like, yeah, react to him properly? But no, she reacted like it, it all added up. It was like, and, and there's a moment in the car that you'll see where I'm like, we're not going to premiere, and then in 10 seconds on her own she goes, it's not him, is it? She knows, she knows that there's no other reason I'd be filming her in New Jersey other him. No, and in New Jersey. Yes. And we were driving— this won't be in the vlog because she said it off camera too, but we were driving around New Jersey. We had to drive an hour away, like outside of New York.

Yeah.

And, and we were driving like through the New Jersey neighborhoods, and she's like, doesn't Bon Jovi live here? And I'm like, this is fucking crazy.

Not only that, but the highway is named Jon Bon Jovi Highway.

Yeah, but she didn't see that, right?

Right. But she could have.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm just saying, like, how crazy is it that like my mom knows How crazy about him.

How crazy to have a highway named after you.

Yeah. And then on our way back, Natalie and Jason pointed him out. There was like a Jon Bon Jovi pit stop. He owns that entire town of New Jersey. And then he also has— then he showed us his— he— we went to go see a— we went to go to his restaurant, right? Which is really cool. There's no prices. Wait, can we talk about this?

What?

Okay, we can talk about it. Yeah, there's no price. Yeah, there's no prices on any of the food. Yeah, and it's strictly pay whatever you feel you can, and if you can't pay, you can volunteer in the kitchen. Yeah, which is really sick. So it's like people in need can come, or people that want to support people in need, you can come. We got some hats for $1,000. It's awesome. Yeah, or you can come in, eat for free, and leave. Or if you're feeling gracious You stay and you like help the kitchen clean up. I think it's fucking incredible.

I tell everyone when I wear that hat, I'm like, Jon Bon Jovi, give that to me.

Oh yeah. When he gave us the hats.

Yeah, but now I wear it around and I tell people.

Really?

Yeah, it's quite the thrill.

It was fucking cool. That's a cool dude to see.

So cool.

He looks so cool.

He looks so cool. And then we saw— and then we were seeing— not seeing, we were listening to songs on the way back. Yeah. And that was so fun. Like, once you meet a celeb, and you start listening to their music in the car, you're like, damn, it's just fucking sick.

It all connects.

It's, it's really, really sick. So that was, that was one of my favorite vlog moments, I think, that we've totally— we've ever had.

Can you imagine? Like, his son is the one that helped set everything up.

Yeah.

And like, just to like— for that to be your dad, like, for your dad to be like a true fucking rock star is like so crazy. And he's a normal guy, right? Like, he was like walking around his restaurant saying hi to everybody. Like, he's very humble, very like—

very normal, normal.

But he's a fucking like legend, rock star. It's so crazy.

The way we set it up is we drove to Jersey, and, and I told my mom I had to stop and get like groceries for the premiere or something, like I had snacks. I had to get snacks. And when we went into the gas station, Bon Jovi snuck into the back of my car where Natalie was sitting with him. So Natalie had like 5 minutes alone while my mom and I— my mom and I were in the gas station and Natalie's sitting next to Bon Jovi in the backseat of the Tesla for what?

What happened in those 5 minutes?

I don't know. I was like trying to be very professional as I do.

5 minutes with Jovi.

But yeah, no, he was like really nice. He was asking me about like the drive and like, it just kind of felt like my dad was like sitting there and just like having a conversation, just kind of like catching up or very, I don't know.

Which is crazy. Cause it's like, you see this guy and you're like, yeah, you're a regular dude. But like the memories, the things that are in this guy's head are probably crazy. To be a rock star in the— when did they start, like the '80s?

The '80s, yeah. Yeah, that's when they came about.

Like a true rock star.

I tell you what's interesting is David is so good at surprises, guys. Like if you were in the midst of one of his surprises, he's so fucking good, he even had a movie person call On the way to Jersey, we have this friend who's great, who works at a studio, who works at a studio, and she's like really great. And she got on the call and she was like, hey guys, are you on your way? And, and David's on speaker and he's like, yeah, yeah, we're on our way. And, and David's mom's like, oh, okay, yes, yes. And she's like, and don't forget, you got to get your snacks because, you know, the whole theme for this premiere is what snacks are you bringing? And, uh, and she's like, oh, okay, okay. And David's like, oh man, we're gonna have to stop at 7-Eleven and get snacks. And it's so well orchestrated.

Like, you'd never know.

You'd never know. You're so good at it.

Yeah, I love that.

Yeah, it sells it so well. You'd be great in pro wrestling.

Pro wrestling?

Yeah, you would be really good in pro wrestling.

There was more too. There was like, even like my— even my sisters had to pretend like they were going to the premiere. Yes. So we had to send my sister's text from the driver. The driver's picking them up. And then my mom texted my sister, was like, is the driver there yet? And then they just send like an Uber picture. Like, it was like It's like there's like a lot that goes into it that's like so— that you'll never ever see in the video, right? But it just helps so much when the person's duped at the end of it. Yeah, that's the best part. The one thing I did do in the car is we were driving up and, and I was just singing to myself and I just go, shot through the heart, like as we were driving up. And I fucking— and right as I said shot through the heart, I caught myself and I went shot through the heart. La, la, la, la, la, la, la. Boom, boom, bam, bam, bam, bam. Making sounds. I was like, that's the worst. I don't think there's anything tougher than holding a surprise in for a singer.

Yeah, I did it. When we landed, I was walking with your mom and her friends, and I did the same exact thing and went shut through the.

Yeah. Because you have nothing. Because you'll just be, like, standing by my mom. By my mom, and you'll have nothing to say, but that's all you're thinking about. Yeah. Yeah. That is really funny. I was thinking about ways to, like, approach celebrities in like the smoothest way possible. When— how would you approach a celebrity, Jay?

Come up and just be like, yo, you're the best.

I like that. You do? That's actually basically what I was going to say.

It never works for me.

Really?

No.

No. Okay.

So I've had one good celebrity convo. Judd Apatow. That was it.

Yeah, I remember that.

Yeah.

I think though. Okay. So I think a really like standard way that people used to think that you were like, I think Disney made this like a thing. Is like you approach celebrities by not approaching them and pretending like you don't know who they are.

Right.

Like, I think Disney Channel made that a big thing. Like with like the movie Starstruck. It was like the singer always falls for the people. It's like, wait, you don't know who I am? And then the girl's like, no. And then they fall in love. I think that was like perpetuated earlier. And I think that's like so incredibly wrong.

Right.

Where it's like really aggravating.

Yeah. Like, just in general, they don't know. Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, I'm no, you know, I'm no Bon Jovi, but I've had, I've had like, I've probably gotten to take like a couple thousand pictures of people and it's really fun. Like, I think I've gotten every interaction under the sun. Like, I've gotten the people too cool for school, people overreacting, people— the one I get a lot actually is boobs falling out. Do you get that?

Boobs falling out?

And it's so hard.

That's really funny. Actually, I did have one recently. I went to the— your boobs fell out?

I know, that's such a crazy thing, but like, and it's the most fucking awkward one.

What do you do?

You don't— that's— you— I still don't know how to approach it, cuz like sometimes somebody will be so excited and they'll like be bouncing up and down and like a boob will fall out. And I'm talking like full boob and like boob. And that's really tough because if I'm by myself or like not with Natalie, there's been times where I've like hit Natalie and I'm like, yo, say something because I don't want to say anything. Sure. But there's also been times that I've fully taken a picture with people and their tit is out and like I just pretended like I had no idea. I'm just like, you'll fucking see this in your phone later. Like, because it's so hot out, it's like What do you say?

Yeah, it's very uncomfortable.

That happened to you?

Yeah, I was at— I went to the UCLA game this weekend. Football game.

Yeah.

And Alex, DJ Renfri, was DJing the tailgate.

And this just happened to you?

This just happened like 3 days ago.

Okay, so it's more common than like—

Super. And this girl was super drunk. Whenever she's a college girl at the tailgate and she just comes jumping up and down, she's wearing like a lacy bra as a top. Tit is fully just out and she's like running full speed at me. And then her boyfriend is also drunk. But like took the photos and I was just like, the interaction happened so quickly. No, no, no.

Yeah, I get that.

I would think you'd have a little sympathy after what happened on the bus with us.

No, for sure.
