Winning $800,000 in Vegas

What's up guys, welcome back to Views. Jason lost the podcast. Jason, we had, we had an episode.

We had 20 minutes.

That's the half of an episode.

It wasn't that good.

Yes it was good.

We were all like full 20 minutes of Marvel. People would have fucking exploded. Really? What do you mean?

I don't think so.

Okay, I loved it. It was like 20% of the audience. It was my favorite piece of content we've ever recorded.

It was not.

I'm not going to go back into it. I'll give you a 1-minute synopsis of what we were arguing about.

Yeah, out of here. It's your favorite piece of content you've ever recorded.

Everything.

You were just with Steve Will Do It all weekend. Remember when you had a McLaren and a horse?

Remember when you were recounting the story of how you and Naveen met and how you fell in love? Yeah. That was like a 2 out of 10. This Marvel podcast that we had? No, but it was pretty lit. It was pretty good.

I'm not going to lie.

It was good because we filmed it because we were having an argument.

You're just saying that because I lost the podcast.

I lost the clip.

It was not that good.

Obviously.

You literally said we finished, you go, there was 27 minutes we recorded for, and you go, yeah, there's about 20 minutes there.

Yeah, which is so fucking lit for us.

It's not. We get full podcasts sitting down all the time.

No, you don't.

You don't give me shit about the fucking podcast, bro. You literally— we literally have to fucking drag you in here to do this.

Exactly. So we had 20 minutes.

This is crazy. Do you know how many times you fucking tanked this podcast and brought it down?

Never.

So many fucking times.

I've literally never tanked the podcast.

So many times we've been sitting here and you're like, I can't do it.

Oh yeah, I pull the memory card out and just fucking toss it away.

Bro, I was running around, I was running to do the thumbnail bit, then a fucking homeless guy broke into your house.

Don't spoil next week's fucking video just because you're angry. Okay, we've had— yeah, we've had a busy week. We had like a busy last 48 hours. We're recording this Tuesday night, the podcast is supposed to go up Tuesday afternoon.

Morning.

Oh, Tuesday morning. So we're a little late, which I fucking hate. Why are people always like, where's the pod? Like every Tuesday consistently people are like, where's the pod?

I'm like I told them Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I did it, but obviously that should mean in your head we're uploading Wednesdays and Fridays. That's what's going on. Like, people are like, I'm about to drive home from work. I'm like, drive home from work tomorrow. Save it for the next day. Save it for the next day. Like, yeah, mentally prepare that we're going to be like—

People love a routine.

Yes, they do.

I like blaming this, our bad upload schedule on the audience.

Well, you have a lot to talk about. You have so many things you can talk about.

We have a lot to unload. We had a really busy 48 weeks.

Crazy.

48 hours. 48 weeks. Steve will do it. Hit us up. Who I've known for quite a while. I really like him. Steve will do it. I met a really long time ago. He's— if you don't know him, he's from the Nelk Boys. He's— I guess that's where he's actually— I don't even know if that's where he started.

Yeah. Yeah.

No, I think he started as like his own thing and then like kind of adopted him. Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, he's like notorious for just like partying.

How do you know about Steve will do it?

I do. I like love— I loved Nelk like in college.

Oh, no way.

Yeah. Yeah.

You know the Nelk Boys? Yes.

What is it?

Full send? Yeah, it's full send. No, I did. I did.

I did all my— all my guy friends would watch it, whatever. So I of course knew who he was.

I met Steve at a party, and it was— and it was like one of those like LA parties, like back in the backyard. It was like— I was like 19 years old, and he wasn't— I don't think he was like Steve Will Do It at the time. He— it felt like more like a local legend kind of thing in LA. Like the people who knew really knew. And I saw him, I recorded him for my vlog because he was chugging a Fireball, like a full handle of Fireball. He popped it open in front of us, so we all thought— we all saw it was real. Sorry, not thought, it was definitely real. And then he opened it up and then he drank the entire bottle of Fireball, the full fucking handle, chugged it in one go. It blew me away. I like couldn't believe this was like— it was like one of the craziest vlog moments I've ever gotten. Um, and then from— I think I like, I like tagged him in the description of the video, so he like would like reach out from time to time.

Yeah.

And then one time he reached out. Jay, I think you went with me to hotbox his garage.

Oh yeah, I was there.

So then he hotboxed the garage with leaf blowers filled with marijuana, like probably like $4,000 worth of weed, like in these leaf blowers. And you were using these like little flame torches to light the weed and it was like leaf blowing into the garage. That was incredible. Do you remember that?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Did you get high?

No, no, but we didn't stay in there.

Yeah, yeah, we left. Well, we stayed in just to get the shot. Yeah, yeah, there's people that were actually trying to get high. Yeah, but it was like a fire inside. Yeah, yeah, no, no, alarms were like going off. Yeah, it was like the heaviest amount of like plumes, like, like a, like a choo-choo train, like went right through.

You couldn't see in front of you.

No, it was incredible. But yeah, yeah, but he's been incredible. He's been really sweet to me. There was some moments where he was calling me out in videos, talking shit, calling me all kinds of slurs.

And then we always knew he was kidding.

Well, I always thought he was kidding and he was. But then I was at the airport and someone comes up to me and they go, dude, what Steve O'Dowd is saying about you is fucked up. And that's when I was like, wait, hold on.

What?

It stressed me out that this guy wasn't in on the joke. And then I was like, am I not in on the joke? But then Steve came to squash our beef, came by, bought me a Tesla, and then we hung out again. We just hung out again for the vlog, had the best time. Steve was so sweet. He was like, I'm going to set up the whole Vegas trip for you guys.

He's the best.

No, the best. Picked us up in his private jet. Do you know that? You know what? That's— he flew in from wherever he was in Miami, landed in Vegas, like got his stuff ready at his house, then took his jet from Vegas to LA to pick us up. And he was texting me like, I'm about to take off, so I'll be there in 40 minutes. Like, literally, he's driving a car.

Like he's coming from Santa Monica.

Yeah. Like he's driving over.

Yeah.

It's wild. And then, um, then we got on and he just had the most absurd characters on the jet. I mean, it just reminded me of like, yeah, like day one vlog days. Like, it was like really like the best, funniest, eclectic group of people. And the moment I saw all the crazy people, I was like, fuck, Jason should have come. Jason should have come. Jason should have come. Jason should come. And then you ended up coming. And it happened to be—

Well, yeah, tell us all about it. It happened to be like one of the most fruitful experiences for you in your entire life. I've never seen you so— I've never seen you glow so much.

I was at dinner with Naveen, and then he's like, oh, you should come to Vegas. And I was like, why didn't you just fucking ask me to go in the first place? And I was like, well, I'm like, well, now I don't want to go.

Yeah, but yeah.

And then, so then I was like— and then he was like, no, you should go, you should go. Like You know, these are opportunities and it'll be fun. And I was like, okay, all right, I'll go, I'll go. And then, uh, so then yeah, I got on a plane and I was like, I know nothing's gonna fucking happen. I know I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna miss all the fun. And then I got there and sure enough, you guys were in the casino.

Well, that's why initially I didn't bother to invite you because you just get so tired. And like, we were gonna be drinking. Yeah. And just like gambling.

Yeah.

And I know that that would stress you the fuck out because you'd be like, why aren't we filming? Why aren't we filming stuff? Like, I knew we were going to be sitting at tables for 8 or 9 hours, right? But then the second I got on the jet and was like, oh wait, Steve just like wants to film a shit ton, and I saw all these characters, right? I was like, oh, okay, yeah, we're like filming, filming proper. Like, I thought we were just going to watch him gamble. Um, but yeah, okay, then you showed up.

So then I showed up and I— I—

and this— sorry, let me, let me fill you— we had the best time on the jet. We met, we met everybody.

I got there and David's like, you won't believe what happened. So and so got a McLaren and Tony did this and there was a horse. And I was like, oh shit, I missed everything. And when I got there Steve was gambling.

Yeah, wait, wait. So we landed and Steve had— he has this character guy named Pepino who's like really fucking funny.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Like out of like a cartoon. Cartoon. Totally. And Steve told me that Pepino was like really scared of driving in cars. Yeah. So Pepino or Pepino or Steve got a horseback, like a proper horse to show up on the runway when we landed to pick Pepino up. So that was really funny. And then The rest of us got into Steve's Maybach and he has two. He calls them akimbo Maybachs. Yeah, they're the exact same Maybach from Mercedes, like custom made. They're like $400,000 or $500,000 apiece. Yeah. And we got into each of them and like, I know Steve's a big smoker and I like, I'll smoke from time to time. And the second I sat down in the car, I'm like, can we smoke? He goes, fuck yeah. We start smoking cigarettes and I go, where do I ash? He goes, here, here, here. He started ashing all over his car. It's fuck— it was fucking wild. And then right before we got to the hotel, Togi was like, yo, when we get out of the hotel, when we get out of the cars, make sure you're rolling. I'm gonna get Steve a McLaren. And I'm like, what? Like, and Togi's not filming this. Like, it's crazy. Togi's just getting it for Steve because Steve got Togi a Ferrari a couple weeks ago. So Togi's like, I gotta get him back.

Uh, whoa.

Yeah, so that Steve comes out, gets the McLaren.

Well, that was also the craziest part is like nobody in the group was filming.

Nobody.

Like they're all just like this and doing these things just like nobody was filming.

No, I know.

No, if I wasn't there, it would have happened. And like, like, you know, like it's so— they're so wealthy where it's just—

it's—

it was— it's fucking unfathomable. And Steve's like— Steve's reaction was so Steve because he was like, thank God you didn't fucking cheap out on me and you got me the nicer McLaren. I would have fucking hated you if you got me the shitty one. The shitty one's still like $250,000. But Toki got him like the upper-class one with the top-down everything.

I felt so diminished there. I was just like, man, these guys are like 10 times better than us.

Oh, they make you feel tiny.

Yeah.

You even said when you were watching the raw footage, you were like, Ilya looks small and Jonah looks quiet.

That's also crazy.

And Jonah looks quiet. Dude, dude, there was a moment because the characters were— dude, his friends are so crazy, right? Steve travels. Steve pays these 6 guys that are just to hang out with him, basically.

Yeah.

And just because they're so amusing. One of them is Pepino, who's like a smaller guy, Italian guy from New York. Really fucking funny.

Yeah.

Another is this guy named Tomo. The fact that I know everybody's name shows—

I didn't meet Tomo—

shows how much, like, these guys, like, imprinted on me.

Yeah.

Yeah. Another guy, Tomo, who Steve said they met in Tokyo.

Yeah.

And Steve just loved him. They met him at a 7-Eleven and he just asked him to come on all the trips. And I asked, I'm like, Steve, does he speak English? He's like, not really. So Tomo doesn't really speak English, but he hangs out for the vibes. And then they have a Trump impersonator that's in Trump the entire time, fully as Trump.

Yeah.

And then he's got Tim, who's like, just like another kind of like a you.

Like when I started talking to Tim, I was like, oh my God, I'm talking to myself.

Yeah.

He's literally 2 years younger than me. It's the same age pretty much. And he was an actor, and, uh, and then he was— he was in a band, and then he decided one day, oh, fuck that, I'm just gonna go work for Steve.

You guys kind of look alike too.

Yeah, yeah, we're Irish, both Irish.

Yeah, and Steve just like— Steve just throws money out. Like, he'll be at the table— well, let me get— let me get to that a little bit. Yeah, but, but so what was happening is Togi got— or Steve got the car from Togi, and then Steve's just like, oh, Dave, I also got you something. Meanwhile, I got Steve a Darth Vader. Yeah. And I gave that to him on the plane, like a Darth Vader from Tokyo that I thought he would really like. And he did like it, but God knows if he kept it.

God knows where it is.

Yeah, God knows where it is. So, but then he bought me a Patek, an Aquanaut, like a, like a $60,000, $70,000, $80,000, I don't know, $1,000 watch sitting on my wrist currently.

Wow.

And Steve just like handed it to me again. He's not filming anything. And then he takes us to the hotel room, gets us like the— literally the penthouse suite. Yeah. At this place, we go in the most beautiful hotel rooms.

Like, yeah, that one I saw. Yeah, that was—

we go and there's like, you know, women. I don't know how to describe this. There was also like a sushi person.

There was like a woman that was naked, but she had sushi all over her body. Sometimes they do that at like events or whatever.

Yeah, it was like real, like, veggie.

Have any sushi?

Um, I opted out of the sushi.

Yeah, me too.

But it It was fun to see.

But then we got down on the table and this is where I'm like, okay, we got to call Jason immediately when we were at the hotel room because there was so much craziness. And then I called you and then you ended up wanting to come out. And then we got down to the tables right after that. And Steve was down. Steve owed the hotel $850,000. He gambled away $850,000 right there in front of us and he was trying to build it back up. Brick by brick, which took— we sat in that room with him for 9 hours.

Yeah.

But sitting in that room does not sound miserable at all.

That's when I got there and I was like, man, I missed all the fun stuff. But it was such a unique experience because it was like a private room. I've never been in a private casino room or anything. I was like, oh, this is amazing.

No, but like proper private room.

Yes.

Like, like Steve, like anything you want, it comes in seconds. Steve had a cold plunge next to the, next to the table.

Yeah.

So if you wanted a cold plunge while he was playing blackjack, he easily could. So it was like a really incredible thing. And then you could order any food you want, any drinks, and they kept bringing it to you and it was nonstop. It was the best.

I think you said it was like a sport almost.

Did you say that?

Is that you?

I love watching gambling. I told Steve, I was like, don't feel weird. Like, because I feel like if I went to gamble, I'd feel stressed out that you guys were just sitting there watching me.

Sure.

But like, I was like, Steve, you could be here for 15 hours. Like, do not like I want to watch you gamble. Like, I love watching people gamble on like Stake and Ruben and all those places. Like, I'll just sit and watch, especially that type of gambling. Yeah. So, yeah, he's doing $25,000 a hand.

Yeah.

Which is insane. So then Jason gets there and Steve's paying like his buddy Tim to go and kiss random people. So the Jason of his group, the Jason of his group, and Tim will like come over to you and like kiss you on the head and like, and you have to like run away from him. Basically, that's the game. And then Tim turns his fire on me. Steve goes, "Go kiss David." And Jason, you intercept the kiss. And then this is where you take over.

Yeah, I intercepted the kiss because I was like, "Oh, poor Dave. He doesn't like to be touched." And this guy's kind of old. I was like, "I'll take it for you." Which is very, very sweet.

And karma got you right away.

I know, I know, I know. Karma got me right away. Because right after I took the kiss, Steve was like, "Here you go. Here's $10,000." And I was like, "Oh!" I couldn't believe it. But it wasn't done, Dave. Was it?

No, it wasn't done.

It wasn't done. It was $10,000. And fucking Tim kissed— no, Tim tried to kiss me and he cornered me and he said, here, just kiss me. I'll give you $1,000.

Wait, what?

When did that happen? That was before the $10,000.

Yeah. So Jason already had $1,000.

I already had $1,000 in my pocket. I was like, okay. And then Steve offered me to kiss Tim for 5 seconds. $5,000 each, so totaling of $16,000.

Damn, that is fucking amazing.

But I really didn't even know the money was real. I really didn't. I was so excited there was an opportunity for a bit.

No, it was incredible. The bit was one of the funniest bits we've ever shot. Like, that is like— You think so?

Yeah, it's pretty fucking funny.

Yeah, Jay, your turn off the camera is so funny. Jay's looking at the camera and just like you could see it in his eyes, turn off the camera, turn off the camera. And you could see you like smiling because you know you're about to kiss this guy and you know it's going to be funny. Like, that's the best part is like, oh, this is so fully happening. Not a doubt in my mind.

Also, if you like watch back the vlog moment where it happens and if you look at a different person in that moment, like everyone's reactions, it's just so funny. Tim's wife is in the corner. You can see her a little bit.

She is. Yeah. The guy's kissing.

There's like everybody's reacting. So it's so funny.

It's really funny. And I told Jay, I was like, Jay, if, uh, if Steve was up at that time— Steve gave you that money when he was down. That was at that time he's down about $600,000. Like, Steve was down $600K and he was throwing money. Actually, that's what he started throwing around the most money. I know. Yeah, when he was like really down. Um, he texted me this morning and today he won $800,000. He's plus $800,000.

Wow.

So he won all the money back. So he won $1.6 million in like the last 2 days. Wow. Um, so he's back up. But I was telling Jay, I was like, Jay, if Steve saw— because Steve saw how excited you were— if he was up, Jay, you would have paid off your kid's school forever. Because I know Steve would have just been like, here's $100 grand, Jay, whip your dick out. Wow.

You know what I thought was really interesting was the guy that— the guy who handles, uh, the gambling there.

Yes, the casino host.

Yeah.

I don't know if I can say his name.

Don't say his name.

Don't say his name. But he's— he was just cool. It's just a cool job. To watch.

Really cool job.

He'll tell you what you can gamble, what you can't, how much money he can get you, right? Yeah, and everything. Don't take your pants off in the room.

Yeah, so he actually— so the guy that you kissed actually took his pants off in the room and like flinged his penis around. Yeah, um, a couple days before. So when you faked taking your pants off, yeah, he flipped out. All the security was like, no, no, it's happening again. They got so scared, they're like, what the fuck is with these people? Why does everyone whip their dick out?

Yeah.

Um, and Jason was like, oh my God, I'm sorry, I fucked up. I was just kidding. Like, I wasn't actually gonna do it.

He didn't know. We were— Steve will do it light.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Light for sure. Yeah, yeah, 100%. Oh, and that's what I was— sorry, that's what I was trying to get at earlier. The characters were so wacky on the flight that, like, Jonah said something on the flight. He was, like, describing how the flight was, like, flying and how I was, like, about to go down.

Yeah.

And I remember, like, thinking to myself, I was like, that was really normal. Like, he said something, and I know normally I'd be like, that's crazy, but like, the things that were coming out of people's mouths on that flight, I have never heard in a public setting in my entire life.

Yeah.

So, so like, when, when any of us like actually started to speak, we were like, it just like was like so dulled by everything else that was on the flight.

It was very like overstimulating.

Yeah.

In fact, when you wanted to like participate or say something, it was just like, nah, I should probably just shut the fuck up.

Speaking of planes going down, I don't know what it is with me, but every time I have, like, an idea for, like, some TSA or plane-related bit, it happens to be the month of September. So, like, we shot a bit. We could talk about this, right?

Yeah.

We shot a bit, like, 2, 3 days ago that had to do with, like, a plane. Yeah. And, and then I just checked the date and I was like, oh my God, I'm posting on 9/9, 2 days before 9/11. And I did this 2, 3 years ago. And I think I posted— it was like you, like, fake hijacking a plane.

Yeah.

Like you're the flight attendant or the pilot or something.

Yeah.

Whatever it was, it was like you made a joke.

We posted it on 9/11.

Yeah. And I posted it on 9/11 and I literally, I remember I was like, that's fucking— I literally typed in because, like, because I do the title pages, right? Yeah. So I type in 9/11. 21 or whatever the day was.

I think it was like 9/10, maybe, to be honest.

Yeah, maybe, maybe. But like, it didn't cross my mind. Yeah. And then for some reason, I guess it's like this fucking year-round thing for me. I have plane ideas for plane bits like around September 11th. It's really fucking crazy.

Yeah, it's fine.

And then— but I was also thinking about it, like, 9/11 is such a big deal to me, even though I'm not making it sound like it.

Yeah, you had the coins.

Yeah, I had the coins. How do kids think about 9/11? Because Pearl Harbor to me is so past. That's not a thing to me.

Yeah. My daughter doesn't think about it.

No. I think kids these days don't have any sort of conception of really what even— if you ask kids, I don't think they even know really what happened or how it went down.

No way.

Yeah.

I saw a TikTok recently. There was somebody our age that was asking young kids, 13, 14 years old.

Oh, 13, 14. Yeah. I'm talking like 20-year-olds. Oh yeah.

Oh, well, they were alive. Yeah, they were alive.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, what? Oh wait, no, they weren't. That's what I'm saying. Like, like someone who wasn't alive and has like really no recollection. What's like a, like an event that you remember that?

Oh yeah.

Yeah. Is it Pearl Harbor?

Well, you're, you're, you're just going to really fucking make me sound old. But when the space shuttle crashed, Apollo 13. No, no, the space shuttle. There was a space shuttle in like 1984 or 1986, I think.

I actually don't know the story.

Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, Christa McAuliffe. She was like a female astronaut. She was in there. She fucking died.

Wait, wait, wait. What happened?

There was a space shuttle they were like launching from Cape Canaveral and—

What was it? Was it called an Apollo mission?

I don't know if it was an Apollo mission. I think it was like, it was in the '80s, Dave. It wasn't, I don't know. It was NASA. But I don't know if it's Apollo. Is everything in space Apollo? I'm asking you. I don't know.

I don't think so. I think that's just when you go to the moon.

Whatever.

I hate when we get into questions like this and we really show how fucking dumb we are.

I mean, we weren't alive.

I don't know why you keep saying Apollo. It's just the space shuttle.

When I think of a mission that crashed, I think of Apollo.

This was in the '80s. This was like 1985. And I don't know why you keep saying that, because I'm trying to tell you the important part of it.

Oh, okay.

They fucking— the teacher goes, the teacher goes, she goes, all right, space shuttle is going up today. Like, let's— you guys don't have to do any work today. And we're like, oh, fucking sick, great. She's like, we're gonna watch it on TV. And she turns it on and then it fucking goes down. The whole class is like, what the fuck?

No, wait, what grade were you in?

I think I was in like— I want to say I was in like 6th or 7th grade.

Oh, well, you were fully conscious.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

So that's something I remember. My dad remembers when Kennedy was shot. I know that. Oh, that's wild. I wasn't alive for it. I mean, what do you guys remember? You remember when Obama got elected? I remember that.

Come on, brother. Yeah, of course.

I mean, do you remember where you were though?

I just remember going to the newspaper place. I still have the article. I went to the store that sells newspapers to buy an Obama got elected piece of paper.

Did you really?

Yeah, I still have it. I have that when Michael Jackson died. I have those two.

Oh, Michael Jackson died. That was a big one for me.

Michael Jackson dying was fucked.

We were in LA, weren't we? Were you guys here? Not here yet.

We were in LA till year 55, dude.

I thought, I thought Michael Jackson died— when did he die, like 2010?

Yeah, I think so, actually, around there.

I remember when Obama got elected, I was in a hotel and, uh, and this, this, uh, Black woman got in the I got in the elevator, she gave me a big hug. Wow.

She went—

she was crying and she goes, "Thank you, thank you so much." And I was like, "Oh, oh, oh, sure, sure, sure." Wait, what? I voted for Romney. No, I was kidding.

You voted for Romney?

No, I voted for Obama.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

That's something I'll never forget.

Wow, why did she hug you?

She was emotional.

Were you wearing an Obama shirt or were you giving like a gift?

No, we were there for— we were there like We were there like celebrating his win. Like someone invited us to go and be like and hang out and be like, oh, he's going to win. And we're all going to celebrate.

If I was to like look at you. Yeah, I look like a Romney for sure. Right. Like, that's what you look like.

I didn't— I actually liked Romney. I didn't vote for him, but I liked him. I thought he was— he had a lot of good ideas.

I wonder how different— like, you know, like I always see TikToks like, remember when politics wasn't so divided?

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like, but like, that is actually my perspective of things. Like, I actually, I agree with that statement, but I know it's not true. I just know I didn't pay attention to politics back then. Does that make sense?

What are you saying? You're saying politics wasn't so divided back then?

No, like, it obviously must have been. But like, in my eyes, it was like, like when Obama got elected, it was like, oh, everybody.

Yeah.

Yeah. It was like 100% of the nation was like, hell yeah. Like, that's how I saw it.

Yeah, but then like now from Chicago too.

Yeah, but like now I'll see—

he's from there—

now I'll see things where it's like, yeah, I know Obama, the 40% of people, whatever, like, and I'll be like, what? That's not the perspective I had, which is kind of crazy to think about, right? Like, that just goes to show like time, place, location, like how much it like changes like everything about your perspective on things.

Totally.

Yeah, as you get older, you get like more Republican.

Yeah, I don't—

it's like really sad.

Really?

Yeah, because you're like, fuck, I need my money.

Oh, like with taxes?

Yeah. Or you just get like— you just change when you get older. You just fucking change. You just turn into a dick. Just like, get off my lawn. You hear a loud noise outside, you're like, what the fuck is that?

Really?

They're like, it's just someone walking by.

I don't know if I'll ever get to—

I'm not sure.

No, I don't know.

You will.

Like, I get mad about like things, but like the I don't know, not like the little— like, like, I'll get mad if like Natalie does stupid shit.

Yeah, you're already annoyed. What are you talking about?

Imagine fucking living with Natalie. That's it.

Tell me you don't live with me.

Tell me about the Foodie Boys.

Oh yeah, I went to go do, um, a podcast in, uh, where were we, fucking Rhode Island with the Foodie Boys.

Rhode Island, actually called the Maryland Foodie Boys.

Oh, MD Foodie Boys. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah.

We were in Maryland.

How many are there?

There's 4, but I only had 3 because the other one was at football practice. So it's these high school kids. They just now entered high school. They're 14 and they started on TikTok because they— I've, oh, I've talked about it on the podcast.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah. They started on TikTok, like reviewing snacks. And I was like, Natalie, I don't want to do anybody's podcast ever. Like, that's like a thing. I don't like doing podcasts., but I want to do these guys. Like, can we, but, but I want you to approach it in a way like this is a big opportunity and I want you, yeah. I want you to reach out like jokingly. Sure. Like he needs this room comp, like everything when it's, and this was when, this was when, oh yeah. I remember one podcast clip went viral. Yeah. Like now they're actually a little bit bigger. Yeah. But like at the time it was like, it was literally 40, maybe they had 30 viewers or listeners like on their actual pod. Yeah. So like, I was like, please, like, just send them this message. Obviously I'm going to pay for everything to like do it or whatever, but I wanted that. And then timing didn't work out and I couldn't go out there. So I talked about them on this pod because I was like, yo, I've messaged these— I had my publicist reach out to these kids and I don't want to seem like I'm actually being serious about paying for my flight. Yes. Anyway, so this time I got to go do it.

Wait, did they get your email?

I don't know. I didn't talk to the moms. No.

Yeah. It's like one of the older brothers, I think, like manages them and was communicating.

But that's a wild prank to send. Could have gone really bad for you.

Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. It's really funny, but it's also—

but I wanted to make like a whole thing around it. Like, I'm going to do this highbrow interview and we're just talking about snacks. So it was important for me to set it up like it was a big deal, but it actually was a big deal. So we got to Maryland. We were doing some other— oh, we were doing waivers things. In D.C. and, and we got to Maryland and we were at the store like I was going to go buy them. I bought them all like Nintendo Switches. I don't know what you get kids, but I was like, I don't want to come empty-handed.

Oh, it's so nice.

And there's a bunch of kids there, like in the store that wanted to ask for pictures. They're like, what the fuck are you doing here? Like, this is, this is like the smallest town ever. And I'm like, you know, the Foodie Boys? And they're like, they go to our school. So it's like really cool that like I was in their town. They're like little hometown legends. And the interview couldn't have gone better. Um, I was there for an hour 45 minutes.

Yeah, you did a 2-hour podcast with the Foodie Boys.

Yes. And I only finished because Natalie was making me.

Yeah, I was like, because we had to go to a dinner, and I was like, hey, like, we gotta wrap it up, you know, we've been here for almost 2 hours now. And I've never seen him just more locked in and more engaged. They talked about high school, they talked about their favorite food, like, it was just like, I mean, it's my element.

Yeah, yeah, it was straight up.

It was like he was a Foodie Boy.

You know, and I had so much to offer because like, I've done high school, you know, but like, I'm still in it mentally. So 50% of me was like, yeah, that sucks. I fucking hate that when teachers do that. And then the other half was like, but what you'll learn from those teachers is— Is it out? No, I haven't seen it.

I think in like another week.

But they said this after, which was like, then they genuinely meant this because they're kids. So I don't think they just say things. But they each individually were like, that was my favorite interview we've ever done. They've only done 5.

I was going to say, they haven't done that many.

But that's cool.

You guys did have fun.

It was very cool.

Did you talk snacks?

Yeah, I brought all the snacks I wanted.

Are you going to make me wait for it?

What did you talk about? I'm not going to just reveal what we talked about at the Fruity Boys. Well, the Avengers conversation we had. Yeah, was, um, basically we were arguing about everyone's pay on the Avengers, right? Jason was like, what did you say?

I, I was just asking—

wait, actually, sorry, sorry to cut you off. It started because I said— what did I say, Jay?

Oh, you said, you go, isn't it so cool that the Avengers were saving Earth, that they were saving all of us? That was what prompted it.

Oh yeah, yeah. So like, I thought that, like, I was watching a Spider-Man edit and I was like I thought it was like really— it was actually an edit of all the Avengers, and I was like, it's so cool that what they're doing is they're trying to like keep me protected, like keep everyone on Earth. And there's something like so like that feels so good about it. And then Jason was like, you know, I said, that is cool. Jason had to get money involved. And Jason's like, how much do they get paid? No, that's the important question.

This is a genuine question that I have thought when I've watched Marvel movies, which is I always thought like, what do they get paid? Yeah. And I don't know. What do you think?

Well, I think a lot. Well, I think Chris Evans has the government contract because he's been— or not, sorry, not Chris Evans. Captain America, right, has the government contract because he's been doing— he's been the super soldier for a really long time with the government. So I think he's like baked in to like $50, $100 million. Oh, when we went to DC. Yeah, we— I guess I don't— I guess I don't even know how to tell the story without like giving things away. There was someone around that was giving us information.

Oh, the CIA spy, you know?

How do I say this? What?

Yeah.

Information about what?

We just found out things.

Yeah.

About Marvel?

No. No, about—

About Captain America?

About the government.

About the government, my brother. Obviously, I'm not going to say anything.

This is the second time that you've kind of toyed with me on this podcast. The second episode in a row, you kind of flirted with the idea that you know the CIA.

I think this is the first episode. Because I think this was in the last episode that was cut. Oh yeah, right.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe.

But I'm still— this is my second time I'm toying with you actually in real life.

You know, you know someone from the CIA.

Well, now how do I explain it? I want to jump on my words here.

We know someone pretty high up. We're actually pretty close friends now.

Barron Trump?

No, no, no, no, no. It's not like that.

No, no, no. This person actually is like a high up. I think they're like, what, number 2 in command or something at the CIA?

You just gave it away. What?

Okay, simple Google search. Who is number 2 in the CIA?

It's really funny.

Oh, cool.

That was our— that was us. That was our covert way of, like, handling it. Okay, well, whatever. Regardless, we learned we're not number 1, they're number 2.

What's going on? What happened? Are you gonna tell me?

Or are we gonna basically just learn that the CIA, like, Spends a lot of money.

Yeah, they're handling like, you know, obviously the military budget is probably like a trillion dollars or whatever it is. So there's billions and billions of dollars flowing through.

What are they moving, like $100 billion a week?

A week, yeah. Okay, just crazy.

Okay, how can you possibly say okay to that? That is $100 billion a week. That is the most insane. That's the most Steve Will Do It shit I've ever heard.

Because I've heard you say it before. Okay, that's why.

Oh yeah, I think that's insane. So that got me thinking. I'm like, okay, so Captain America Easily.

$100 bill.

$100, no, $100 mil, $100 mil a year.

No, it's not like that. They can't, the government can't pay Captain America $100 grand, $100 mil a year.

Why?

They just can't.

He's the face of the military, you fucking asshole.

Well, then the president should make $40 million a year, you know what I mean? I don't think the president— It's a government official, so they wouldn't make that much.

He's not a government official, he's a fucking weapon. Yeah. He's like our tactical nuke.

They're spending $1 million on every bullet that comes out of a gun, you know?

Yeah, like a tank bullet costs $50,000.

I think they're more honorable than that. I don't think that they're—

oh, oh, oh, yes, no, for sure, right? I do think that the Avengers do it for the good, right? Yeah, okay. But this is my next point. I think Iron Man takes whatever money and then he donates it to like a charity. Like Trump, you know, right? You know, like Trump is like already rich on his own, so he like takes his like presidential salary and donates 100% of it. 100% Robert Downey's doing that, you know. Yeah, he doesn't, he doesn't need the Avengers salary because he's already in. But okay, and then we go to Black Widow. Okay, this is a tough subject for me to talk because I don't know how much she makes. And this isn't— this has nothing to do with sexism because I'm gonna put her in the same— I'm gonna put her in the same category.

Why don't you like Black Widow?

As Hawkeye. I just, I don't know what she has to offer.

Really? Well, what does she do? She has weapons and stuff?

She's like a spy. She's just like, she's just like a really good fighter.

No powers?

No, no, no.

She's like a really, really, really good fighter.

Yeah, which is like, dude, it's like kind of tough. Like the core Avengers are the Hulk, right? Insanely powerful. Iron Man, insanely powerful. Captain America, And then Thor, who's a god, right? And then Hawkeye.

Who's this? The guy that's—

No, he's not one of the original.

Doctor Strange. Who's the girl that can blow things up with her mind?

That's WandaVision. That's WandaVision. She deserves all the money in the world. She's one of the most powerful. She would have the Captain America times 5x contract. So she'd make a lot of money.

But Black Widow.

I don't know. She is in the core group. Now, now that leads me to think, like, do they make a decision like the Friends cast did where they're like, we're all getting paid the same no matter what? Yeah, like, no matter what we're all— no matter what our powers are, I want to get this. I want to get the same pay as Black Widow, says Captain America, because that is a Captain America thing. He would, he would be all-inclusive.

And then do you think Thor would even take the money, or is he just like, oh, he's way above that?

That's my next question is, where does Thor stay when he's on Earth? Is— are they all in Avengers Tower? Does he stay on Earth? Can he just beam back to Asgard at night? You think? Does he beam back to Asgard and the time change is so shitty that it's— he's just back during the day there and he can't sleep?

This is a lot to process.

Could you imagine?

He's jet lagged from Earth to Asgard. Like, that would suck. Portal lagged. If it's like a perfect, like, 12-hour difference. Well, yeah, so then he can't— he can't sleep. He has to sleep on Earth.

Do you get sad sometimes that they're not real?

Oh my gosh.

I don't think so, because here's my theory. So the Avengers, there's, there's, there's a multiverse, right? Right. And I truly believe that we're in the multiverse. Yeah. And we just like, so in the Fantastic Four movie, the new one that came out, they're the only heroes in their world currently, right? Only heroes. And I think what's happening with our world is we're the only world in the multiverse that doesn't have superheroes. And I think that our version of superheroes are Hollywood actors. So like, oh, so like, I do think there is a multiverse and I know I'm, I'm, you know, I'm sugarcoating a little bit and I'm putting like some belief into this. Obviously I'm not completely delusional and on crack. Right. But like, how cool would that be if like our multiverse was just, yeah, we portray 'em as like fun characters, but everywhere else they're real. Yeah. That's a possibility.

It is kind of surprising to me that like we don't have like an all-powerful superhero something something.

Do you see they have an invisibility cloak now?

No, no, Jay, they definitely don't.

That's definitely an AI.

Oh no, they— no, no, they came up— they've come— they came up with like, like 40 or 20 years ago. Like they have the technology for it.

Like it like wraps light around? Yeah.

Okay. And then like I just saw a thing about it that it's like it's it's like becoming more readily available.

There's no way you could just go and buy an invisibility cloak.

They have the technology. They do. The CIA has it.

Are you sure?

They've had it for a long time.

Where's the CIA located, Jay? In Hogwarts?

Where are you?

Let's look it up.

Let's look it up. What CIA are you referring to?

Would you— if I was— if it was true, would you be excited about it? Is it worth looking up?

Yeah, but I don't know if I would like purchase an invisibility cloak.

Fuck no. Of course you would, bro. You're literally the first person that would follow.

Yeah, Snapchat, bro. I buy funny-looking bottle openers. I don't buy fucking Area 50 Level 1 gadgets.

Yeah, but you wouldn't level up?

Yeah. How much do you think an invisibility cloak is? Like a proper one? It's probably like $800,000 to like $4 million. Like a really good one. Yeah. To make you invisible. And that's probably not even a really good one. That's just like standard shit.

I mean, I'm curious.

To most people, invisibility cloak sounds like something straight out of fantasy. Series. For Dr. Nathan Cohen, 77, however, the reality of his project is potent since Cohen first invented the cloak in 2003.

Sounds fake. You don't believe it? No, sounds fake. Nathan Cohen?

Come on, that's not a real name.

Nathan Cohen explores the ethics of patented invisibility cloak.

He patented it? Yeah.

That's wild. Yeah, no, they have it.

Isn't it crazy how many things there are that like we don't know about?

Imagine how much you could scare John if you had an invisibility cloak.

I mean, it should be illegal, right?

For sure.

To have an invisibility cloak?

They definitely— nobody's getting an invisibility cloak, you know?

You don't think so? I think we're headed for it.

I think it's— I mean, I'm shocked that we actually properly, 1000%, have self-driving cars. And we don't talk about it nearly enough.

No, I know.

We're there. We've arrived. In LA, there's a thing called Waymo, and in other cities, I think it's like more of a West Coast thing.

No, they have it in Austin.

They have in Austin.

Yeah.

Fully self-driving vehicles. And like, how are, how are those on the road? And no one's answered my question yet of like, what happens when they hit somebody? Like that, that's still my argument from like, who gets sued? Yeah, that's still my argument for my company gets sued.

How do they—

what if— but who's— what insurance company is going, it's fine? Or what company has so much money that they can like, like just fucking let 1,000 like cars on their own?

Wait, what about like robotaxis, Nat? So when, you know, the whole thing, you can buy a Tesla and then you can send the Tesla out and be a taxi.

You can't do that yet though.

You can't do it yet, but you can, you will. And then how would that work? Would I get sued if I sent my Tesla out and it ran somebody over but I wasn't in the car?

I don't know. I don't know. But that's such a good idea. I remember I went to like, this was when Elon was like, this was like 7 years ago when Elon revealed the Roadster. Yeah. He was also talking about this taxi thing. Yeah. And he was saying like, whatever Tesla model you get, like now I think it's become a taxi thing, but it used to be any Tesla model you get when you're not using it, You can have it go out and pick people up and it'll make you money.

That's crazy.

And then it'll come back in your driveway when it's done. How fucking crazy is that? Pretty well. Does that mean that like we'll get to a point? Because, okay, so my roommate John loves AI a lot and he thinks that it's like going to help everybody like not work as much, which really confuses me. But I guess this Tesla thing kind of like makes me understand it a little bit more. Like now I get it.

Something like that. Yeah.

Like a robot's working for you and you don't have to work as much. Yeah, then again, like, why would— I don't know.

Well, like, imagine you had like bookkeeping to do, right? And you had a robot to do it. Yeah, you know, like if you had a business, you're like, you just have a robot at home.

It's like cleaning, cooking, so managing the bills.

Are you—

it is very sweet.

Are you gonna be a robophobic dad? Yeah, if you're one of your kids— there's a really good chance that one of your kids will be dating a robot.

Oh my God. No, no, not my kids. Those kids are really not my kids. Not on my watch.

Over my dead body. What is it? There's like some really good racial slurs for robots. I think it's like clanker. Clanker is really good. I don't know what else it is, but it's ones like that. And I always see TikToks about it.

Tin can.

Yeah, tin can. Just TikToks being like, holy shit, we're going to be We're gonna be the racist generation towards fucking robots because look at how people treat those little delivery robots on the street. Like, people love flipping those things off. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, it's 50/50, right? You're either like, this is so cute, this guy needs help, or fuck you, get out of my way, you little piece of shit. And then when that, when that thing becomes like fully autonomous and can think for itself, that robot delivery is gonna take the fucking footlong you ordered and shove it right up your ass.

So it's like That's a big storyline in Seth Rogen's show Platonic, is he just kicks over those robots. He kicks over the Postmates robots.

Yeah, I don't know why people are so like— I think people just want to like— people are really angry about them. There's this guy on Sunset Boulevard that just— why have you seen this guy? Oh yeah, you saw him with me. Yeah, yeah, he just walks his robotic dog every day.

It's the same guy.

Oh yeah, same robot dog. And we don't know if it's like a commercial or anything, or I think it's like—

I think he's getting paid to do it. By whatever the robot dog company is.

What, by Dobrik's? You see him?

Yeah, he walks right by Dobrik's.

Oh no, he's just a crazy person. He's not getting paid.

You've seen him? No, no, it's a robot dog and the dog will stop and pee. Is he on a leash? No, no, no. He walks like 5 feet in front of this guy and he'll stop and pee on a tree, but he won't actually like—

I think it's just a marketing stunt because I was seeing it, like so many people were posting it. Yeah, for like—

but there's no— but there's no like— there's nothing on it.

No branding. There's no nothing on it.

But it just must be like for robotic dogs.

I don't— and it's only on Sunset, and he's just up and down, and he's doing it like he's walking like he doesn't have a fucking robot dog next to him.

What was the name of your friend in the CIA again? What?

I didn't say anything.

Who? Oh, no, but I was just—

you were— fuck. Nice try, dude. Nice fucking try. Fuck. You're going to have to— what would be the number one way to get something out of you? Out of me?

Yeah. Um, tickle me.

What? No, no. Have you ever seen like torture methods? Yeah. What's like the worst? Be tickled? No, come on, there's like really bad ones out there.

Oh, oh, you mean— oh, you mean like real bad ones, like waterboarding?

I don't even think that's real. Like, dude, I'm on this— well, I'm not on anymore because I clicked not interested because it was freaking me out. But like medieval torture methods, have you seen those? No. It's really, really, really, really fucking scary.

What do they do?

Were they like peel a nail off or something one by one?

No, no, they like put you in a box and it's just like your head is out, and then they'll like put an incredible amount of insects in the box, and they'll make sure they're taking care of— it's just your head out of the box, and they make sure they feed you, they take care of you, so you stay alive for like 14, 20 days while the insects start eating you from inside the box.

Oh my fucking God.

Yeah, I mean, this is just like one of many ways that it's just like the most That's insane. But like, dude, it's just like, I don't know. Like, I don't know why that doesn't seem real to me. Like, did that shit actually fucking happen?

For sure.

Like, people were just that crazy?

Yeah.

Like, it was just that— like, I also like, I think like when I think of like wars back then, like people fighting with swords, do you know what I mean? Guns is one thing because like you're so far away, you could, you know what I mean? You could like Now you shoot people. You're not even— there's not even like a personal connection. But you're telling me that countries would go to war with each other and people are like having knife fights and like they can't just like look at each other for a second and be like, what are we doing? Like, I don't— I just— I can't— like, there's no like personal connection that anybody had experiencing during these medieval combat situations.

I'm sure that some people did and they probably just like ran away from the war.

I think people valued life less.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't understand that.

Everybody lived to like 29.

I guess you're right. So maybe that was like a thing, like it was just like, maybe it was more of a thing to die honorably than it was to live.

Yeah, I think so too.

But that's like such a crazy mindset.

You're like, pride and like nationalism, whatever, for your country was like just far surpassed.

Damn, that's the kind of— that's the kind of people I need working here at David or Dorvick LLC. Yeah, not like Natalie. She's falling asleep while we're editing the vlog.

Sorry, I've been up for 36 hours.

Yeah, yesterday we were editing at 3 AM and we had a— we had to wait. First we had to drag Natalie out of bed, like literally by my feet, and then we had to go— we had to go change locations because now he was getting too comfortable.

I couldn't stay awake.

Yeah, I saw you in Vegas. I saw those nachos arrive for you around—

yeah, well, and that's the other thing too, like in order for me to stay awake, I have to be eating. Yes, I have to snack on something so my body is like moving and like I'm physically doing something, so I'm eating like 4 meals a day when we're—

it's brutal. But we went, we went with Steve to Vegas and he gave us his private jet to take back. Yeah, but like for some reason I love driving, so I thought that was the dumbest thing you did. So it wasn't actually.

I feel like it was pretty smart.

No, so Ilya and I drove back at 3 AM, got home at 8:30 in the morning, and then Natalie got on the flight at like what, 10 in the morning?

11.

Yeah, 11. So I was already asleep in my own bed while Natalie had to fly back.

She got here at 12:30. She was in the door.

Yeah, I know. But he got 5 hours of sleep. So by the time I landed, he was like ready to go.

So did you. Yeah, but then she only got a little bit of sleep.

Don't let him cloud your fucking brain now.

This is like the medieval times.

This is insane.

Are you willing to die for this company?

I will go to my deathbed. You're in Vegas. You can go to sleep at 2:00 2 AM, right? And wake up at 10, get a full 8 hours, and get on a jet and land in LA. Option B, okay, get on, start driving. Yeah, at 3:30 in the morning. Okay, so you get back here at 8:30 in the morning.

So can we be honest? It was 3:30 for both those times. You, you kind of changed it to make your arguments.

Okay, no, you, you left at 3.

Okay, but that's when I would have gone to bed. Okay, fine. So you have to keep those times the same.

Okay, 3—

okay, so 7 hours. So do your little story again.

7 hours. 7 hours sleep. A good 7 hours. In the bed. In the hotel bed.

Well, my body doesn't work like that, 'cause, okay, listen, I wake up, I wake up to—

Did you have something to come back to here? Did you have a booty call or something?

I had a booty call at 8:45 in the morning. Did you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so go—

I was fucking my long john Dunkin' Donuts. No, I obviously didn't have a booty call, dude.

Okay. So then, so that makes no sense. So now you drive 5 hours, which is exhausting, bad sleep in the car, horrible sleep, bad sleep, and you're in your bed at 8:30, but you're not looking at it the right way.

Tell me, I like when I, if I got on that plane in the morning and then I landed back in LA, like when you leave the Vegas hotel, it takes you 25 minutes to get to the airport. 40, 40, 40 to get to the airport from the Vegas. Okay. So that's 40-minute drive. And then we're going to be taxiing another 20 minutes.

We had to refuel. We took off a little bit late.

Really? Yeah. Then you have to—

you were here at 12:30 in the house.

Then your flight time is 45 minutes, and then you have to get off the plane, and then you have to drive again when you could just go from the Vegas hotel straight to the house. I feel like I have a no-brainer here, Jay.

No, you were, you were so taxed today. You went to sleep today. If you had just slept a regular 7 hours.

Yeah. Okay.

In Vegas.

So this is why the vlog was late. I got home at 8 AM, right? I slept till like 1 or 2, yeah. And then we started editing. We edited till 3, 4 AM, and then we had to wake up at 6:30 in the morning for a bit. So we got 2 hours of sleep.

Yeah.

And then I came back from doing the bit and was so cranky that I went to take a nap, and then I woke up at 4 PM, and now the vlog is up, the podcast is late, and now we're here, um, at 11:30 at night on Tuesday.

Flog was great, Dave.

Good job. So I'm sorry it came out late. That is my fault. I'm not gonna plan any more bits for Sunday night. That was too much. Now we know.

Hey, if anybody wants to— if anyone owns a restaurant and wants to be on my app, let me know.

What?

Hit me on a DM.
