Why My Assistant Had To Start Therapy

What's up guys, welcome back to Views, the podcast where we talk about stuff. Let's open it up with, um, controversial topic. Natalie looks crazy today.

No, I don't.

Jason said that Natalie looks like—

put it on Jason.

Well, he said the funnier joke. I just said it looks like she was dug up out of a grave, and then Jason goes, it looks like you're hitchhiking on the 101.

It looks like your Beetle broke down.

I'm just—

it does look your Beetle broke down. Oh my God. But to be fair, let's make fun of some other people now. Yeah, we were, we were just in the office and Taylor was trying to find out the password for, for the computer, and we haven't used it in a while. And the hint, the hint for the password was ew, like ew, like ew.

Yeah.

And we didn't know what it was. And Jason walks in, and I'm just like guessing random things. I'm like, is it a dog sled? Is it Kids' Choice Award? And Jason walks in, he's like, Oh no, it's Jason Nash. Whose name unlocked the computer?

No, well, I know you make that.

No, I said— no, you guys made it back at the old house and I remembered it because it's my name and they were trying to figure out the password and I go, no, the password's Jason Nash. And David goes, really? Let me see. Tay, check what the hint is. And then the hint came up and it just said ew.

Oh my God. Yeah, and then Jason Nash unlocked the computer.

I, I guess I, you know, listen, I don't like being gross, but it It happens, you know, it happens as you get older. And then, you know, honestly, I've always been gross.

You're not actually gross.

Well, I mean, I—

you clean up really nicely. Like, this baby blue looks really good on you. I only wish our audio listeners can see you right now.

Go over to YouTube and check me out, guys. This outfit is from Lululemon.

You know what I was thinking about the other day? If an alien spaceship like the size of Staples Center kind of just started hovering over my house, right? And it was like midnight and it just was fucking huge. Everybody saw it. It wasn't like a little thing. It was like— I'm telling you, it was like at level of where my house is, like in the sky. We'd be freaking out for like 3 hours. We'd probably run in from the hot tub, we'd run inside, turn the news on, right? And then we'd be like taking pictures of it. I'd be TikToking it. I'd get a TikTok, then I put my phone down, then I'd record it. But you know what I mean?

Like tons of content.

Like as supernatural and crazy as that is, as an alien hovering over Sherman Oaks, I would still go through the steps of like, well, Gotta tweet this, gotta TikTok this. And then the crazy part is, is like, we'd get tired eventually and go to bed. It'd be like 3, 4:00 AM and we'd be like, well, we are humans and like there is an alien, but like, I'm tired, I gotta go to bed, which is so crazy. And then the next morning we'd wake up, alien is still there hovering. Maybe another day passes, same shit. Maybe Joe Biden's in there negotiating.

Joe Biden's not going in there.

Whatever, whoever is in there negotiating.

Somebody.

And 3, 4 days into this alien hovering over Sherman Oaks, it's old news. That's what I think is so crazy is like we would all get used to it.

It's like the pandemic kind of.

Yeah, but it's like insane. Like anything could happen and humans will just get accustomed to it in 3, 4 days.

You're like a reverse conspiracy theorist.

What do you mean?

You like— you like— you don't really believe in conspiracies, but just like actual stuff that happens freaks you out, you know? Like, just, just like, like I've seen you get really jazzed about like street lamps before and not— and be like, what's going on? How are these here?

Because I don't believe any of that shit.

You believe we're in a simulation?

This is just all too perfect to be born, to be in this moment in time. I just think it's such bullshit.

Yeah.

Yes, bro. Like, there's like a past, there's a future, there's a present. There's like— it's all such bullshit, you know?

No, it's completely reasonable and it's completely factual and it happened. Like, technology allowed you to become a—

oh my God, those tiny robots in your head right now are sweating.

Oh my God, he's got it figured out.

Convince him, make him know that this is real.

Come on, Jason, try harder. No, I mean, you'll hot tub with him more.

Look at these crypto millionaires. Yeah, right? Like, yeah, they're just kids, but they figured out computers and now they're billionaires or whatever. But all that is just because of technology.

But I mean, I mean, that's like a completely different—

no, it's the same thing as being a YouTuber.

No, I'm not even talking about that. I'm talking about like the fact that there are streetlights on, like, and that like the people obey red light, green light, yellow light. Like, you don't have to stop at those. Those are all fucking making recommendations. Everything is a recommendation.

It's an agreement.

It's the law. But what agreement?

But what is the law? It's just like, it's just like a thing.

We're all taught the law. We all have to follow it.

I understand, but it's like, it's just around way before you, but it's just all bizarre. You don't think so?

It's like, freaks me out. I'm like starting to disassociate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And if you talk to Dave long enough, you literally go into like, he turns into Charles Manson in here.

Look at what I drew on this chalkboard. All of us hanging.

Yeah. Oh my God.

And like, it's crazy. Like, I was driving through the neighborhood and I was like, everybody's just like living right next to the Target, or they're living like everyone just has like a little house and it's a little shelter where you go in and no one else is welcome. Like, that's so bizarre. Like, you go into your little thing, see what I mean? And you have electricity and you have water that comes and it's just for you and no one else can walk in unless you go, Come on in.

Are you cracking open people's homes now? The idea of a home—

I want to see what's in there because I don't believe it. I don't believe in homes.

Then in the hot tub he goes, he goes, I just know that something bad's gonna happen soon. Oh my God, like a clairvoyant or something, right? And I was like, wait, what do you mean? What do you think? He's just like, I don't know, he's like, I'm just— I'm feeling something.

I mean, I just always think we're on the edge of it.

Yeah, I do too.

Like, it's like It's— I think, I don't know, World War fucking Fallout. Something's going to happen.

I wish you were a clairvoyant.

And I think it's going to happen so randomly too. I think it's like someone's going to sit on a button on accident, send a nuke. I don't think it's going to be like— I don't even think it's going to be like preemptive or anything like that. I think it's just going to happen. I was like, God fucking damn it, why did this happen?

I came out of dinner the other night and I ran into this kid with all his friends. He goes to UCLA and he was like, Jason, I want to be a doctor. He's like, I'm studying to be a doctor. My parents want me to be a doctor. I'm Indian and they don't understand that I want to be a filmmaker. And then I talked to him for like, I don't know, probably 20 minutes, and I feel like I did some good.

Oh, sorry, he didn't want to be a doctor?

No, he doesn't want to be a doctor anymore.

You talked him out of it?

Yeah, I told him.

That's amazing. You probably killed somebody by talking that guy out of being a doctor.

I probably made him homeless. I was, I was like, go for it, man. You got an iPhone in your pocket, don't you? And he's like, yeah. I'm like, shoots 4K. Like, get going, start making films.

The Gary Vee of YouTube.

Yeah.

You just made him go from saving people's lives to creating a low-budget indie film, which could turn out to be great.

Good. Probably not. Wyatt had a birthday party the other day, and these two girls called and they were like, we want to throw Wyatt a surprise party. Oh, we were like, wow, that's really nice. That's so nice.

So then I thought it was a prank call first, right?

Yeah.

My Wyatt. You guys are girls.

No, I don't think he's a loser.

You do. We're mixing up how we feel about this guy.

And so we were like, that's so nice. So I like took him out from 4 to 6 on Saturday and kept him busy. I took him to Guitar Center and killed the 2 hours.

So after Guitar Center, you bring him back.

I bring him back.

Guitar Center's the plot to take him away, distract him. Yeah, comes back, the 2 girls are there.

The 2 girls are there and also like 6 more girls.

What?

And 2 guys. So there's like 8 girls that are throwing the party really for him.

So he's a player.

So that's what I— yeah, so I, so I pulled Charlie aside, who's 12, and I was like, yo, I was like, why? I said that, I was like, is why, like, a player or something? Like, and she, she talked to me in like such a— it made me feel so old. She was just like, um, she was very kind, but she goes, she goes, I think your idea of gender might be a little stuck in the old ways. She was like, she was like, you know, That's so sick. No one cares about gender now. Like, they're just his friends. And I was like, oh, that's crazy.

Oh yeah, that is fucking— that's fucking insane.

Isn't that strange?

It makes— it makes me feel like stupid. Yeah, it makes me feel dumb too, because she has like such a good point, right? Because my head does go to like, oh, he's a player. But it's like, no, they're just his friends, Dad.

Right, right, right.

Oh, that is so—

that is very like—

wow, she taught you something.

Forward thinking.

Yeah, but it's also like they did. They did that. I don't know. What are we supposed to know?

Really? What she said makes perfect sense.

No, you're right. It does make perfect sense.

It makes sense. Yeah, it just has girlfriends.

Yeah, it makes sense.

Doesn't really make sense if you know Wyatt, but he does have girlfriends. This may offend some people, but what's the— what's the easiest job in the world, you think? Like, you know how people always say like, ah, modeling's so easy, or like, yeah, or like, or like YouTube is so easy. What is truly the easiest job in the world, you think?

Oh, great question. Like Natalie's.

I saw that one coming.

There has to be something that's like—

Natalie's job's tough. Mine was pretty easy.

I think Jonah's— Jonah's a really easy job.

Yeah. Yeah, really easy job.

What about like a random, like, food shop? Like if you just work at like a cupcake shop as like a cashier person, like, that'd be pretty simple.

Now, because you have more duties than just being cashier. You still have to clean up the place, like, do the books at the end of the day or whatever it is.

I owned a bakery. He said it was pretty grueling.

There has to be something easier.

Firefighter.

What?

Until there's a fire.

So funny.

Like they serve the community on fucking crack.

Cut that out.

Well, why did you say that?

Because I was thinking security guard.

The easiest jobs in the world. And you went firefighter.

I pictured—

I know firefighter.

I know this firefighter.

And he was telling me, he was like, yeah, we play cards. Yeah, but I forgot. I forgot. He like has to go into—

Oh, you forgot the actual— Firefighting part.

Please, if you're a firefighter, don't get mad at me. I take it back. Very difficult job. Appreciate your work.

I thought we were going to like offend some like models or like maybe some YouTubers, but like firefighters?

No, we went, we went, we drove and we met this, uh, we were surprising somebody for your videos and the guy was a firefighter and he was telling me all about it.

He also—

I forgot that he told me that it's like he also like has seen people die and shit.

I think it's like a really like— I think he was just He's— don't, don't get it twisted. He's very passionate. Yes, he's very passionate about his job, but by no means that shit's fucking easy.

I think I just became really enamored with the idea of like a bunch of firefighters like hanging out with like a Dalmatian and like playing poker.

Well, it is cool.

It's like pretty cool, you know?

But it's like, it's like a family.

Yeah, it's like a family.

Yeah, it's like, it's like, yeah, but like, I don't even want to say that the sentence that firefighting is not easy because I shouldn't even have to say that, you know what I mean?

Right, right, right.

Like, so let's just pretend that conversation never happened because I know you didn't mean to say it.

No, I didn't mean to say it. And please come save me if I'm burning.

Your house is on fire. Firefighters pull up, they just start playing cards outside your place.

We heard you thought this shit was easy.

I really just liked that one story he told.

Yes, I understand firefighters. There's probably really cool elements where they're joking around with each other when they're watching the fire truck. When they're fucking running into buildings that are about to come down, a whole different thing. If it came down to you have to save your son's life, he's being held hostage and he needs $10 million.

Yeah.

What do you do? How do you get that money?

Go to you.

No, you can't text me.

Oh, um, go to MrBeast.

No, no, you can't like go to—

okay, come on, rob MrBeast.

Oh, really?

No, Jimmy, I wouldn't, but I would, I would go to MrBeast.

No, I understand, but you can't do that.

And he'd be like, sounds like a sick video. There's one boy being held hostage.

It shows like a map of Earth and it's like a little squiggly line. He's over here.

I gave this washed-up YouTuber $10 million to see if he could find his boy.

Um, okay, no, no, no. Other than a YouTuber, yeah, if you had to like commit a crime, like rob a bank, um, maybe hold someone else hostage, like what do you do to get $10 million quickly?

Well, you're not gonna get 10 mil from a bank. They just don't have it.

Okay, so what would you do?

Yeah, I just, I just livestream every day.

No, no, no, I think you would have to like rob us.

Answer can't be I'd work harder. Oh, the answer can't be like I'd probably switch to 2 videos.

You have to get in the next 24 hours.

You have to get it right now, bro.

I mean, I take your little brother hostage.

Okay. Yeah, and what if I don't give you the money?

This is so fucked.

I just let Toby go, I guess.

Come on, you don't know.

I'm thinking, man. I'm thinking. Oh God.

Oh my God, why is this so hard for you? Go rob the richest person in LA.

Okay, great. I, I go to, I go to Charlie Puth, who has $10 million probably, and I rob Charlie. How's he gonna get the $10 mil? He doesn't have the $10 mil in his house.

You get like watches or like whatever.

No one actually has the cash laying around. You can rob, you can rob a museum, you can rob a house, you can rob—

I wouldn't be able to rob a museum. I wouldn't be able to get my butt under the lasers.

Under the laser?

Yeah, you know, the laser.

I mean, there's more than just lasers.

There's all those lasers there. Dude, you have to climb under that. Seriously, I am.

Your son's gonna die.

Where can I get $10 million in one hit?

We can't do it, man. Don't ask me that. Okay, you're gonna yell at the guy that has your son like that?

Yeah, well, what do you expect me to do, man?

Raise your voice at me one more time, I'm shooting off his toe. I'm shooting off Wyatt's toe.

Okay, all right, fine. Just, just tell me what you want. Tell me what you need.

I need $10 million in the next day. Or anything.

And I can't livestream?

You, you can livestream. Well, can you get that on a livestream? And probably, yeah.

Really? Yeah, I better get to it.

What do you use, TikTok?

Somebody would come through for me. Yeah, dick, I do TikTok.

Somebody would come through.

Somebody would come through. Like John Stamos would probably pitch in. Benny Blanco would probably pitch in. People like celebs would pitch in.

You'd have like, like We Are the World style, like Charlie Puth is like playing a piano.

I'd have Charlie come in and he starts and it's like, there's a choice we're making. Yeah, yeah. And then Natalie gets the chorus.

Will Wyatt get his head blown off? Donate money now.

What time did you start drinking today? Because I know it's 1 now.

Well, it's noon somewhere.

It's noon here.

Let's start drinking, guys.

Natalie's mom Jen is here, which means I got a drink.

Um, wow.

All right, 4 shots for the 4 amigos.

Dave, set up Jen so the audience can just get a little bite size of who she is while you pour those.

And that I'm not an alcoholic, not at all, not at all, crackhead, pot.

Yes.

Okay, so let's debunk sometimes crack. So you're not a crackhead?

I'm not a crackhead.

No, no, no, no. Ever done crack?

No. I had to think about that one.

Okay, so yeah, obviously there's a lot of ongoing jokes here about what you are because you are a woman of mystery. A lot of people don't know what you do.

Well, even you guys don't really know me.

No, I, I honestly have no idea where you are in the world at any moment.

Many, many Lives.

Yeah, you are. Where do you live now? Where are you parked?

Um, I am parked in my tiny house in California behind Natalie's big house.

Oh, okay, great. So is it true you live in an RV, or is that something we made up?

Um, it is true that I have lived in an RV.

Okay, by choice.

By choice.

Which is, which is the crazy part. It's not the fact that you're like— it's not the fact that you're in an RV, it's the fact that you love that life.

Like, that's, that's what makes me scared of you. I love being out in nature.

You want the bigger shot or the smaller shot?

I'll go with it.

Cheers.

Wait, wait, what are we drinking to?

To you.

Well, here— well, yeah.

Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

To me!

To Jen!

To Jen!

And to all my homies!

Wow, fuck, that's not good.

You're so good looking. No, I'm just kidding.

And it's hitting Jason.

Jason needs some more.

This is so funny, it's literally two Nathalies literally interviewing two 2 Nathalies, but also very opposite, right?

I disagree.

I don't think they're opposite.

I think the only oppositeness is her trying to not be like me or going out of her way to not be like me, because like, who wants to be like their mom?

That is interesting. She tries to push away, but she's like slowly becoming you and she can't help it.

Interesting, David.

What?

Look how—

look how defensive she gets.

I will tell you that if she wasn't like me, um, she wouldn't be as organized and as good of a— as much of a value to what she does for you.

Really?

The dog peed on the camera.

You did not have to point that out. You could have just let that one slide.

Okay, Ferris, our editor, just goes, the dog peed on the camera. Great. And just before this, I was told to keep the dog in the studio because it'll be cute. No, I'm, I'm not kidding. I'm already tipsy from that shot too.

Wow.

Can we get an update on the box dancing? And last time I saw you, you were very into box dancing.

At least favorite thing about my mom is that Every 10 minutes out of the day, she has an alarm set to remind her to do something. Brush her teeth, wake up.

Wait, can you—

I get to defend myself here, right? Because this has been like 2 years now of getting shit about— and then I've even saw like somebody put in there like, "Gally's mom must be high as fuck that she needs that many alarms." Like, who needs that many alarms?

Can I actually— can I see your alarm list so I can like read through them? Is that—

is that—

or is that an invasion of your privacy?

Yeah, I can't believe she's gonna show you.

So Natalie's mom has a bunch of alarms, for example being a gratitude alarm, and it goes off and she has to be—

she has to be appreciative, take a moment and just like, you know, because sometimes I'm having a shitty day and it's just like a reminder, like, all right.

Yeah, these are the alarms that Natalie's mom has. These are real. So 9 AM is rise and shine every day. 9:15 is MDMA, uh, one tablet.

I think it actually says MCT, not MDA.

It's MCT and fire Fire cider or lemon every day. Okay, this is fucking crazy. It's— we're at 9:40. You have 4 alarms. You have 9:00. You have 9:15, which is teeth, face, vitamin C, MCT, fire cider. You have 9:20, which is music and stretch, plus 100. What does 100 mean?

You have to do 100 or something.

10:30, you go through your to-do list goals. These are alarms that are constantly going off on our phone every single day. Every single day.

Really?

10:50 is— what does penny mean? It's just penny.

But you guys have like text messages.

Wait, what? What did you say, Natalie? What is—

why is it such a big secret? Everyone here is a therapist. Who cares?

Oh, Penny's your therapist? That's not a big deal.

Hey, hello.

I think in the Midwest it's crazy.

I totally embrace it. I think everybody should be in therapy because everybody's fucked up.

So there's that.

Well, for some reason there's a stigma to it.

And actually, there's not a stigma in LA. I think maybe in— maybe in the Midwest.

I don't think there's a stigma about therapy.

No, really?

Little—

yeah. If you were in therapy when we were in high school, you'd be like, she was in therapy.

Yeah, but I didn't tell him that.

You were in therapy?

Bro, you think I lived with this woman? I wasn't in therapy.

Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Natalie was in therapy at the age 10 for anger management.

What the fuck?

Natalie, fuck you. Why do you never share these things? I'm your close friend and you never share shit.

It was a dark time for me.

That was—

and actually, she went to see Penny, and I went to Penny's, the same therapist. Yeah, and then it just so happened you've had the same therapist.

You know, you know who taught me to take deep breaths and to walk away from the situation? Penny.

Not enough. Oh wait, actually you do walk away.

Yeah, I walk away.

You want to know what happened? So she was angry because she was 10, and like that's the age where you start like—

you weren't there because I think it was 12. Regardless, same thing. You were in therapy that young?

Junior high. It was junior high.

Yeah.

What would she do?

You guys want to take another shot?

I'll tell you. Yes.

Oh, David.

All right, cheers.

Oh no, guys.

Wait, what are we drinking this one to?

This one's to your loss.

Here's to Uh, here's the penny.

This is the last shot.

This is the therapist penny for taking care of you guys all these years. No, no, no, you don't want to drink to her?

I mean, yes, but not like thousands of people. Thousands, millions, billions. Oh my God, gazillions.

Now he's just like her mother.

Here's to the success of the, uh, podcast.

And here, you know what this is called without looking?

And here's to me having—

what is this podcast called without looking at the logos?

The View.

Cheers.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to The View.

Oh, so now we're at— so, so I didn't know about this therapist.

Yes.

Continue.

Forgot where we were.

Yeah.

Take a shot break.

I was not there for anger management.

You 100% were there for anger management.

Yo, did you tell you?

I'll tell you the— yes, because I I had to like—

she was like standing like this. I couldn't see anybody.

Natalie has a lot of parts of her life that she doesn't share with me. I don't like— and she keeps like things secret. I don't want to bring it up.

I don't think it's you personally. It's just, it's just, it's just like she put it in a box and that's where it is.

That's so interesting though. Like, I feel like I would never— I mean, I guess I'm different, but like, I like to share.

You guys want to know what the event was that had— that led up to her going to anger management?

The divorce?

No, we can't. Why? Well, so she was at the age where like, yeah, she was angry because you guys want to know the event that led Natalie into her biggest trauma.

I know, what are we doing right now?

No, no, no, I think it's— I mean, underlying though, I think it's important.

We got to air it out, honey.

I mean, wait, you were 10, so it doesn't matter.

It's fucking hilarious. Yeah, so obviously there was underlying tension because we were— now his dad and I are divorced and she had to go back and forth and she was just entering junior high, which is the age where like you want to hang out with your friends. You don't want to go at your dad's house on the weekends, like, right, right? So she was getting kind of pissy, and of course, who's she gonna take it out on? Me, right? And, and her dad was like Disney dad, so like she got everything. And so, and I decided to be bad cop. He was good cop, I was bad cop kind of thing, right? So whatever, it's fine, I can handle it. So anyhow, she got pissed at me, so brave, and she threw a shoe at my head. It missed my head and hit the T— the, the flat-screen TV on the wall and— wow, shattered it.

This is when she was 12?

Yeah, 10, I think.

Careful, Dave.

Why?

I might never know.

You might get a shoe at your head.

I made her— so she went to therapy and I made her like do chores to pay that back. And actually, I came— I have, I have the list. I came across the list.

List of what?

Uh, like you paying— literally, you like— you wrote like, I will pay back It was like some Harry Potter detention.

I had to write shit over like Bart Simpson.

Oh, you had to write stuff over like a thousand times?

No, she's just making that up. She just said, I, I, Natalie, promise I will pay back for the damage of the TV and whatever the cost was. That probably was like $400.

So what caused the trauma was the shoe, or—

No, see, that's the part you're— It wasn't because I threw a shoe that I just had trauma. It was because you were a little bit crazy.

Oh, here we go.

Where Well, didn't you go— used to go around and like spy on her and stuff?

She would spy on me. She would take away my phone. I was grounded every single second, every day, even if I wanted to stay home.

Oh yeah, you would spy on her. She'd be at parties and you'd like randomly show up.

Yes.

No, that was one party, and that was Sloan's.

You regret showing up to that party?

Absolutely not. The only thing I regret is that I didn't get there sooner enough to take the alcohol that was sitting outside the basement window.

Did you wear a disguise that night?

I was so fucking close, and then the window opened and Neil reaches out and grabs the alcohol.

Vacation from that moment? Because why?

Because, you know, you guys were in high school, but when you were—

when you were in high school, you didn't go to parties.

You were fucking smoking fucking crack in high school.

Tell us the truth, were you smoking crack or not? Are you a crackhead or not? Fucking stop lying.

No, but you know what, I'm sorry. I think about this a lot, like the way you parented me and the way that I think.

So did you try crack at one point?

Is it true you dressed as Fidel Castro to spy on Natalie?

I have something to tell you.

You tried on Natalie's underwear again?

Close. Um, no, this is actually about Flying Hope Animal Rescue. How many times have you wanted to save animals?

All the time. I love saving animals.

Well, now's your chance.

Oh my God, what is it? Tell us.

Here we go.

You know I'm an animal guy.

You are. You're an animal animal.

I, I'm an animal.

I love animals.

Shut up, Natalie.

Where's Natalie? Hey, Natalie's trying to No, but you do love animals. You take care of my dog all the time.

I do. And I foster animals.

She fosters animals. So do you. And I do.

Oh yeah, Natalie and I both foster animals. I didn't even know I was such a great guy. We're already helping. No, but seriously, guys, where can we put the link? We'll put it in the YouTube video. It'll be— the description will be there. But they have a goal of $1 million. They're at $15,000 right now, but the goal is $1 million.

Okay.

And like, think about the amount.

I'm good for $500. Dollars?

Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.

I'm good for $500.

Really?

Send me the link. Okay, click on the video. Okay, Jason, watch you.

Jason is gonna donate $500, and guess what?

What?

I'll double yours.

What?

I'm going to donate 1,000 macaronis of myself. Oh, it's a really cool organization, and if you guys want to help them out, that would be incredible, and they'd really, really appreciate it. Go on Kickstarter, check out Flying Hope Animal Rescue, and make your donations to them on Kickstarter before January 31st. Million dollar goal. Well, a little less now with Jason's $500, so we're in a good spot.

And your $1,000.

And my $1,000. I'm like trying to like cut that out. Jason's $500 is going to be great.

Jen, would you say that David and Natalie are just like kind of basic?

Basic?

Yeah, just kind of like boring.

Boring?

Yeah, like a little like fratty, like a little boring.

No way.

Yeah, basic. Like, I mean, I've yet to really I don't think they're boring, but they're just like, they've got a lot of walls.

Would a boring person want to take another shot?

Wait, David, do you want to take another shot?

Yeah, I'm down.

Funny story.

Guys, come on.

Cheers. David— I mean, David, Jason, live once.

Cheers.

Wait, come here, you.

Another one bites the dust.

You know, we have a love-hate.

Yeah, we do, and we're the best at it.

You have a love-hate with Natalie.

Do you think Todd and Natalie would end up together?

I know you're gonna be fucking honest with this too. So whichever way she strums it, it's going to be the real, the real deal.

I think out of— you want the truth?

Yes.

I am always down for—

don't be funny. Just be serious.

I don't try to be funny. Sometimes it happens, baby.

Sometimes I can't help it. Out of the guys Natalie's dated, you think Todd's the best?

Oh, oh, oh.

It's a little, little bit of thinking there. A little bit of thinking going on.

She's only had 3 boyfriends. Um, this is a— this is deep.

Come on, Jen, I know her boyfriends that she's had. I think he's up there.

I definitely think he's the best.

Todd is definitely—

no offense anybody, but really?

Um, I mean, well, no, it's a different dynamic. LA is just like a totally different country. Todd's awesome. Yeah, cut.

You know what, Todd— Todd really is awesome. I'm gonna pay Todd a compliment. Todd literally will text me, check in with me. And so that, that stuff, that means a lot to me.

That's especially awesome in a relationship. Like, totally care about that person.

He's a little bit LA still. He needs to be broken in a little. That's all I got to say.

I don't think he's very LA at all, actually. I think he's quite grounded. I mean, he looks LA. Don't, don't let his looks fool you.

Well, like, for example, when I was trying to get the box—

dope. I mean, don't fucking hold it against him.

When I— when, when he's cute But when, when I made a move on you— no, don't get weird. You are being totally weird.

Is that weird?

Okay, so, so what? No, because it's just fucking weird. It's like incest or— no, it's like we want to stay away from that.

It's definitely not—

I mean, it's not incest, but it's like that level of like inappropriate topics. Yeah, taboo topics.

We taught him that word today.

David's learning so many words. We're so proud of him.

We need to Lesson up on the taboo. We haven't put down at Mathnasium. We gotta, we gotta make sure you realize how many people are listening to this.

Thousands.

And like, it can go this way or that way. Yes, we want to go our way.

Our way.

My way.

Jinx. Pour a little bit.

Jinx. Oh my God, jinx. Buy me a tequila.

Wait, well, Nat hasn't finished her. That's enough. The half. Cheers. I'm so fucked up, by the way. I'm so—

I am too.

I don't know how this—

mission accomplished.

I just want to say I love everybody watching the podcast right now. Thank you so much.

Really?

Yeah, these guys are great. Of course. I can't imagine.

They don't know something really, like you said, like the most normal thing.

You need to edit that out because you sound like He's a complete asshole.

Really?

Sure, Jason, you want to say I love you right now?

Yeah, just—

no, David, I keep for some reason calling you David. I haven't called you Jason yet.

We do look like— no, I love the people in the podcast too.

You— yeah, why don't you just throw it up to all the fans? You should just do that.

Let me talk to the audience.

Talk to the audience.

Let's take a moment.

That camera, that camera right there.

I love the people I meet when we go out. Like, it is the Like when someone actually cares about like the videos that we make, and not just like— not just because they've heard my name in passing because they like know that like I'm a YouTuber or whatever, but like the people that like really care and they're like, I love you, and like you've done something for me, and like you've, you've inspired me to do something—

the best.

Those people are the best.

It's the best.

That like, you know, that like pays for everything.

If somebody goes— somebody goes, I, I literally had the worst time in my life, I was suffering all this stuff And then they're like, and I watched your videos. You're like, what?

I always reference the moment when like I made a thumbnail saying my car was like I was in an accident.

Yeah.

And then I was like driving down the street and this guy looked at my car and he goes, it's not that bad. And he didn't even say anything. He wasn't like, yo, David, let's take a picture. He was just like, he just like, he was so caught up with my life.

Yes.

That like he just like commented on like we were friends. I thought that was so cool. Yeah. I don't mind taking pictures at all.

I don't either, but But that's really fun.

It is real cool when someone like really appreciates you, but like also doesn't care to take a picture with you. It's like, I like you, don't need you in my phone, right? But you're cool. I think that's really sweet. You okay, Jake? I have no one in my life. At least I have a dog. That sounds like a—

don't—

my hands get so sweaty.

Listen, did I feel something when we went to Halloween Horror Nights with Jen? Maybe. Would I act on it because of Natalie, because I respect her and work with her? Oh God, yeah, I still would.

Oh, Jason spilled the tequila. Jen's knocking over the candles, for fuck's sake.

What is it, the Avengers?

Jason's jerking off to my Iron Man book, dude. It's not—

he's imitating you.

Does it ever get numb? Like, are you numb to all this shit that you have going on around you? Like, do you ever think back to Vernon Hills days and like how fucking lucky you are?

100%. This morning I came in—

I'm asking him, not you.

Does it ever fly over the top of my head that like this is happening?

I mean, do you like get the full magnitude of the lifestyle that you are living and where you came from?

No.

Fucking lucky you are.

Yes. I think I do. I think the answer— I think the short answer is yes.

I don't want the short answer.

You do, but you have moments, and we all have these moments. Like today when I came in and you were like, Jay, what the fuck do I do with my life?

Yes, there's that. Yeah, and like, there's definitely moments where like, it's not enough.

You have a great vlog, you have a great podcast, like you're doing it well.

But if those moments didn't exist, I would never have this in the first place. So those moments are still important. But yes, I completely— of course, there's never been a moment where I've taken take any of this for granted. Like, from, from day one, from when I was making $600 a week, which was— I thought was like infinite amount of money when I was like first started this. Like, there was never a moment where I was like, I don't give a fuck about this. Every moment I have this, I like cherish it to— like, I think I'm super, super lucky, um, and I'm super thrilled to have this. But at the same time, I do think like, like, what's next? What do we do? Like, I think it's once you're getting there—

that's, that's the ambition part. It's not even ambition, it's the sustaining part.

Yeah, it's like, well, one thing is getting there, but like keeping it going is a whole fucking another thing. Like arriving is like cool, but like having your place to stay for the rest of your life is difficult. Like, it's not like I'm a singer who could write like a couple songs and live off it for the rest of my life. Like, I think YouTube especially is like when you're putting out content, it's like you're old news 3 days later. Yeah. Like you have to— yeah, you have to evolve. You have to evolve with yourself. But no, the answer is, I mean, I don't know.

Yes, you're appreciative. That was the answer.

I think it is.

And I see that. I see genuine. But it's also like— and this isn't to fault you, it's everyone— like, you become— your environment becomes your norm. The first time I came out to LA and I visited you guys at your house, I like cried. I came fresh off the RV, living like in an RV, like in the wilderness, and I like stepped off the plane and came to this, you know, million-dollar view.

Oh my God, her first time in LA, she cried every single time.

How did I not know this?

Because you were in your world, but I really— fine, because you're 20 and you—

but I also like, like, everything that we do and the way that we are able to do things is so exciting. So I wanted to like fully immerse her in that, like events, like PR gifting, like all the brands reach out to me to just give me free shit.

And I cried. She—

yeah, I took her with me to go to this.

That's where you can get like free clothes.

Yeah, the showroom, and they have like all their brands there, and you can go like section by section through each brand and pick out essentially whatever you want. And I brought her there and she literally like— and I was walking through with like the woman and she was just bawling the entire time. I was like, I'm so sorry, she's just not used to it.

I get that.

Oh wow.

But it was like very overwhelming for her.

Very humble. Like, you know, like I was a single mom trying to like make it. Like, so was your family. Like, like I'm sure that this is all like— but then it becomes norm. Like now I'm kind of like, I think it's more— I need to get my Botox.

I think it's— I'm not crying as much as you, but I think it's more normal because like I've seen it like, like a lot more gradual like I didn't just like arrive here and like they just handed me the keys to this place. But like, they didn't. No, no, no. But for— yeah, but they're— yeah, but there are definitely moments where like I'm driving like down the street. Like I remember I used to go on runs and like there was, there was actually a specific moment. I remember it was like, it was like a year and a half ago. I was with Taylor. I was going on a run. I was in the car with her and I was like, I was like, this— how fucking cool is it that we're in LA right now? I'm so young. I have a place to drive home to and it's here. I have friends here. I have a job here. Like, I'm not worried about, about not knowing where I'm sleeping tomorrow. I'm like, pretty confident in what I do. I love what I do and I get to do it every day of my life and I'm my own boss. Like, I do have— I have the fucking coolest job. I say this and it sounds weird, but like, I would have killed for this as a kid. And like, I know that shit. Yeah, yeah. But like, it's the best fucking job in the world. And it's not like working on a television show where like, people tell me if I can come to work tomorrow or if I, if I'm renewed for another season. Like, it's all 100% up to me and what I put into it. Um, so it's the best job.

That's awesome.

Um, but it is, it is fucking like— yeah, definitely sometimes when I'm at my hot tub, I'm just like, you know, hanging out in my hot tub, I'm having a LaCroix, I definitely maybe sometimes forget that like, whoa, where the fuck am I? But at least 4 times a day I go, what the fuck is going on?

I know, you should set a gratitude alarm.

That's all the time we have for this podcast.

And on that note, now, no, I, I, peace, love, and happiness.

I have a lot of gratitude alarms, they just go off in my head.

Do you remember sitting out on my patio before you came out to California and you were perplexed about like what to do because you guys were graduating high school? And, um, it was actually you and Alex, and, um, and you were asking me about credit cards and like You're like, I don't want to go to college. And like, you were talking about like, you're thinking about going to California. And I'm like, it's got to feel right for you. And you don't remember that?

No way. Tell me more. This is so interesting.

Yeah. Like, I'm like, I couldn't predict like if you're going to be successful. I could never in a million years predicted this shit. If I could, I'd be like, yeah, my best friend.

My best friend Dave.

And let me come with you.

What did you tell him?

What time we leave? But yeah, you were just like, um, she takes full credit.

Yeah.

And then I was like, you gotta do it, you gotta follow your heart, David. You gotta follow your heart. This is what's speaking to you. You go to California, you fucking make it happen. After Natalie graduates college, you hire her, and then she buys a house with a little tiny tiny house in the back, and then I come live, and then I start my own YouTube channel about RVs.

I'm famous. All right guys, that's all the time we have for this podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you, Jen, Natalie, and Jason for coming. Thank you, Jen. It's really nice that you took time out of your busy schedule to be here right now, um, and you kept the shades on the entire time. It's pretty impressive. And shout out to Ollie the dog. He may be 75, but he still looks cute. We'll see you guys soon. This has been the Views Podcast. My name is Jeff. Bye.
