Never Hire Your Friends

So it had like, what, $700,000 per episode? An insane budget. $700,000 per episode. So like, not only were my friends getting paid, but everyone was getting first-class seats, best hotel rooms. It was the best setup to visit all, all all these fun countries around the world that we got to choose. We were like, we wanna go to South Africa. So the show's like, here's 700 grand. And they planned all of it. And we got to go and make a South Africa vlog and they made an episode. And then Jonah is like, we have 3 more countries left and we're planning it. And he's like, I can't do it. Like, I can't do it. I have to focus on my movie. We start shooting next week. He's like, I can't go to this. I can't do the show. And I'm like, Jonah, this is like, first of all, the most traditional opportunity we've ever had in our lives. Like, all you do is talk. About wanting to be traditional and not wanting to be on the internet, and you finally have this opportunity to be on like Discovery, whatever, it's like, it's very mainstream, and you're saying no to it, and then the movie never started fucking shooting. It's been 5 years. It's been 5 years since that Discovery show, and the movie finally started shooting 2 weeks ago. And it's just like, now think about that, but think about every week Jonah's coming up to you and saying that his movie's shooting the next month. Every single month for for maybe 8 years. I don't know how long it was. So yes, it gets fucking— like, it gets exhausting and you stop believing in him. And like, it's just like, it's just a joke and you just tune it out. But then when you actually— that was a lot of negative just to get to the positive of this.
