Trisha Paytas
David Dobrik remains my enemy number one. We'll get there.
David Dobrik
I am a journalist, yes. But also my journalism is like asking Pedro Pascal, are you a daddy? You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like, that's a good question. That was a good one because no one's watching your movies anymore, Vin Diesel. No one's watching the Pacifier too. Her name is Trish. She's got the dish and all the gossips.
David Dobrik
Filthy rich Rhythm Pink, Hot Topic Queen.
Trisha Paytas
And says what everybody thinks. She's just. Yay. Hello, and welcome Back to season 17 of Trisha's Drag.
David Dobrik
Oh, superstar.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I was like, wait, you said I look drag today?
David Dobrik
Yeah. You are giving drag today for sure.
Trisha Paytas
Well, we do love Drag Race is back. And we've been watching a lot of drag movies this week, which I'm excited to talk about 1994 too. Wong Fuse. Thanks for everything. Moses argues Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which I never heard of is better. That came out supposedly the year before. Which came first? We don't know. So much to talk about. Problematic. Can straight men play drag queens? I don't know. Maybe. We'll talk about it later, you guys. Happy 2025. What a great show we have for you today. Oh, my gosh. The Hot Topics are hotter than ever. The tea is piping, it's spilling, it's overflowing, much like me and these Spanx. And actually don't wear Spanx. I just have pantyhose Oscars wore in Spanx. That's something I found out over the weekend.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah, always. I love a spank.
Trisha Paytas
Let's dive more into that in a minute. But before we do, shout out to our sponsors, Roboti Home Chef and Caraway Home Cookware. We got some new ones today, so be sure to tune ahead 20 minutes to hear those ad reads. Tickets for my Broadway show have sold out, but there are online streaming tickets. We're gonna professionally online stream it. So if you want Those, go to trishaonbroadway.com the Broadway show is literally less than a month away and I have a lot to do, but it's gonna be really fun. We have a really great confirmed celebrity, surprise guests, and I cannot wait for you guys. You guys are gonna freak who they are. We have our furry tote@just trish.com these launched after Christmas, so we saw some left. Our little canvas totes sold out instantly. But these are. We have a few of these left.

They're Christmas ones. They're at a discount. Go to just trish.com and Patreon, where we found out about Oscar wearing Spanx, which I love. I love. I think as you were saying, the similarities between you and Shane.
David Dobrik
Shane Dawson. Yes, yes, yes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, Shane's been on my mind too. A lot lately. In a good way, I think. I don't know. Sometimes I obsess, but. Patreon.com just Trish. I loved our Patreon filming day. We did bone. We did new videos on. Was it Friday? I love that day.
David Dobrik
Yeah, we got a lot done too. And I feel like, because we like, hadn't we both have been very isolated during the break, so it was nice to talk to someone again.
Trisha Paytas
It was. But it also felt like just old school again. I always make this comparison. I think that's why when we do Patreon, I don't know why, it reminds me of Shame because we watch like these old videos of like we watched Gabbie Hanna talk about Joy Graceffa and then Joy graceffa talk about Gabbie Hannah. It's just like really old T videos and like seeing it in a different mindset and a headspace and just like revisiting the drama is just like, I don't know, there's something nostalgic. And then you were just like sitting there watching and then critiquing these like, videos, which makes no difference to anybody. But it was just fun. And then we had our little Panda Express and it was just like, I don't know, I had. I felt good after. Sometimes I feel tired. And that one, I was like, I liked these. I wish I could have done more.
David Dobrik
I know. And we went in being like, okay, we're gonna be strict production schedule, 30 minutes per reaction. But mama, it was a 20 minute video. And we were there for an hour and a half. What we talked about, I don't know. I don't know either.
Trisha Paytas
We ordered a Panda Express. Because I'm like, okay, each video is gonna be half hour. So I'm like, let's order the Panda Express now. Panda Express gets there and I was gonna be like, we'll wait to eat it. But I'm like, it's gonna be cold. It was an hour and 20 minutes before we ate that Panda Express. I clocked it. Cause I was like, what? I want to eat this. I was eating like veggie Spring rolls in the interim because I was like, I'm hungry. I don't want this to get cold. You don't mind a cold food?
David Dobrik
I don't.
Trisha Paytas
That's crazy.
David Dobrik
And I felt like we were so in the reaction because we were watching Gabbie Hannah's Escape the Nightmare. I really feel like we thrive rewatching these old drama videos. A Because somehow you're always involved in the old drama, but you also know nothing about what's going on. So it's very fascinating.
Trisha Paytas
But people credit me and source me as like a source. And I'm like, I didn't know anything back then. I don't know anything now. Why?
David Dobrik
Oh, my gosh.
Trisha Paytas
Edited Joey's video and he edited my old District podcast into that.
David Dobrik
Oh, my God. Yeah. Sourced me and Gabrielle sourced you as well. And you just had to say no idea.
Trisha Paytas
As in the middle of it all, as always. I know. It was kind of fun actually, because I hadn't seen those. I truly didn't see those because that was 2021 and I was. I know I had a little bit of a funk in 2021. And at that point I just. I told Oscar I just shut off the Internet at some point because that was a crazy year. I'm like, let me just think.
Moses Hacmon
I disconnected the WI fi.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that was that year. That literally. Yeah, it was that year because I was. I was spiraling. I did. If I didn't have Moses. Truly, I was. That's when I was like hearing voices for real. I know people think I was like over exaggerated, but like, seriously, I was like, there was something seriously wrong. But I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't aware of that whole, like, saga. And then it was great. I don't know. Again, watching it now, it's like, does any of this really matter? No, but it's fun. It's like entertaining.
David Dobrik
It's like history. Yeah. It's like when you take a history class, does anything really matter?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that's true. There's no point in history because what do you do? You can't change it. Like the Alamo. It's gonna. It already happens.
David Dobrik
You can't go back and change it. So same with Gabbie Hanna. Escape the nightmare.
Trisha Paytas
You can't go back and change it.
David Dobrik
Remember the Alamo? Remember Gabbie Hanna?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Where was the Alamo? Because I'm going to be in Texas at three stops.
David Dobrik
Oh, my God. You the casual.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Next week. Sorry. I feel like you will know, but I did My tour shoot today, I have three Texas stops. Is the Alamo somewhere in Houston, Dallas, or Austin?
David Dobrik
Let me see. Where is the Alamo?
Trisha Paytas
It's probably not like San Antonio or one place. I'm not going San Antonio. I do know the Alamo. Me, surprised I know the Alamo. Wait, how do I get there?
Moses Hacmon
We'll figure it out. I mean, probably from one point to the other. You're not going to fly from those points.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I didn't know how that's going to work. My dad's like, oh, Pittsburgh's only two hours from Cleveland. I'm like, are we driving? I hope not. I'll get car sick. But anyways, it's fine. We'll worry about that later. We'll go see the Alamo.
Moses Hacmon
Maybe before the Alamo, before we move on from Patreon.
Trisha Paytas
I think Selena did. Yeah.
Moses Hacmon
Trishmas Live.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah. Well, I wasn't done with the Patreon promo. That was on my list. If you wanted to see the full Trishmas live, we posted our Thousand Oak show on there. And there's also the San Diego. And the San Diego. Sorry. San Diego show will be there. New York knocks. Can't be behind a paywall, so there'll be a San Diego vlog up there. And. And what else? We had headshots. New Headshots of the month. We replaced the headshot. We have a new headshot. Look at that gorgeous headshot. I didn't get to wear the dress on the show last time because it was too tight, but I did take a picture in it. It's my Carol G look, and it's. Wow, look at that headshot. Keep collecting, everybody. I keep forgetting to promote these, but people are signed up, so I'm gonna keep signing. It's beautiful. It's wonderful. Get your headshot today@patreon.com just trish. And what did we post? We hosted. We watched Mr. Beast, episode Mist Games.
David Dobrik
Episode zero. Technically, the one on Jimmy's channel. Which.
Trisha Paytas
Dubious.
David Dobrik
Very dubious. Very dystopian.
Trisha Paytas
Misogynistic.
David Dobrik
Very misogynistic. No divas around.
Trisha Paytas
No divas. Not one.
David Dobrik
No. His team is all just boys who yell and they wear joggers and a blazer over it. It's just a mess. It really is.
Trisha Paytas
Emphasis on boys. I like little boys. Really. I'm just like, what is this? Who do we give money to? Like, these people don't know. They clearly don't know how to run the show.
David Dobrik
No. And, oh, my. The more I think about it, the more upset Beast Games makes me, I think, especially after watching squid game season two. And then we have beast games and then Mr. Beast is tweeting under Netflix every time they promote Squid Game. Like, and Beast Games is here too. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You. Who's.
Trisha Paytas
Who's promoting that?
David Dobrik
Mr. Beast under every, like, Squid Game, like, tweets from Netflix. He'll reply and be like, beast Games episode three. You can watch that too.
Trisha Paytas
Spamming it.
David Dobrik
Yeah, he's trying to like, promote it that way.
Trisha Paytas
Oh my God. Thirsty.
David Dobrik
Thirsty. And also just like very, very, very dystopian. Like the most dystopian dystopian. It's like Hunger Games vibes, you know, where it's like, we are the end of the world.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. He is Hunger Games.
Moses Hacmon
Futuristic but bad.
David Dobrik
Yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
He's the snow.
David Dobrik
Literally. In my opinion.
Trisha Paytas
In my opinion. Yeah.
David Dobrik
Like even thinking about it too. We only watched that first episode. I watched episode one via another content creator. Her name is Bo. She like did a reaction, like watching episode one and it just like amplified everything I already felt about it. Because these people don't have names that don't have identities. They don't have like a little lower third that says where they're from, their age. Like, they literally are just a number. Just a number. Like, they're not treated like people.
Trisha Paytas
That's crazy.
David Dobrik
Jimmy is on this platform over them with like a pile of money behind them.
Trisha Paytas
Episode. Episode zero enraged me. I didn't finish past that. But that. What should we. I don't know. Not to spoil it or not, but there was one challenge where someone like. You know what I'm talking about. Where the girl, like, where someone could jump off and get the money, but then the whole team gets eliminated.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
They were so doobie. Can we. Should we just say it? Because I guess it's out, right out.
David Dobrik
It's episode zero. No one cares. Spoiler. Like, I guess spoiler alert.
Moses Hacmon
You shouldn't care.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
It enraged me so much they cheated. I would actually sue for that because that's crazy. Basically the thing was, at the very, like towards the end, There was what, three. Was there three squares full of people and maybe what, 100 people on each square?
David Dobrik
Yeah, something like that. Or a lot more. Cuz. Cuz it was two. It was like a thou. Over a thousand people.
Trisha Paytas
Which is crazy. A couple hundred people on squares and it's like, basically, like, if you like whoever lasts longest on the square.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Moves forward or the first lead gets eliminated.
David Dobrik
Yeah, basically. He would. He put all these People like different teams assembled different teams by random and then tempted them by having, like, different piles of money. So if one person jumped from the platform, they could take the pile of money. So I think it was like a 5,000, then like a 50,000, then like a million or something was like the little temptations. So a girl jumped for the 50,000, but before the timer started. Like before Jimmy press play on the timer or whatever. And because she did it before the timer, he announced it. He's like, okay, $50,000. She jumped right away, but he didn't press the timer. So it's like, sorry, I didn't press the timer. It didn't start. So you don't get any money. But also this whole square is eliminated, which doesn't make any sense at all.
Trisha Paytas
If you have. That's the discrepancy, right? Fine, okay, she doesn't get the money. But then they don't get eliminated. Like, okay, keep it going, Keep it going. I don't know. Eliminate her, I guess. I guess I don't know. Something. But to be like, okay, but that doesn't pertain to you. You don't get to win the money. But the. But the part that you all lose does. Like, that doesn't make. Like, that's. Seriously, that's Sue. Sue. Honestly, in my opinion, like, I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, but I just. That was crazy. And then all those people had to go home. She didn't get the money. I was like, that's messed up. Although, honestly, I surprised more people didn't run. I would have run for the 50, 000 easily. I'd been like, I'm taking that.
David Dobrik
I know. I bet you more people would have. She. I think that's why she was trying to jump off the platform so quick, because I feel like I think a lot of people would have.
Trisha Paytas
And you think only the first gets the money.
David Dobrik
I think it was something like that. Right.
Trisha Paytas
Or I thought to split it.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And then maybe you're right. In the episode one, so the one of Jimmy's channel, it's like it goes from 2, 000 contestants to 1,000 in his video. And then Beast Games on Prime, it starts at the 1000. And in the first episode, again, I did not support it on prime, but he does a challenge where, like these. Out of the thousand people, they need a group to sacrifice themselves. I forget how many. Maybe it was like a hundred or something. Who have to eliminate themselves from the challenge. And so these people are like crying, emotional. Some People are sacrificing themselves, and they have these, like. They all have these stories about how they want to get out of poverty and stuff. And they're crying as they eliminate themselves. And Jimmy interviews one is like, so you sacrifice yourself? Why'd you do it? It's like, I just want to support the team. All right? And then how he eliminates them after they do this emotional sacrifice is he drops them from a platform and they just fall. They fall through the freaking floor. That's. That's how he's.
Trisha Paytas
What, on mats or something?
David Dobrik
That's where, like, the foam. And that's where Rosanna had interviewed someone who fell from the foam and then, like, injured themselves.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. Yeah. Why do they. Why don't they just be like, okay, thank you, Exactly.
David Dobrik
Like you did. This whole thing where these people are sacrificing themselves to give other people a chance, and that's how you thank them, is by dropping them to the floor.
Trisha Paytas
It's like, wait, yeah, well, that's like, his thing. I guess it's just humiliation.
David Dobrik
It really is humiliation. And think about, like, yes, reality TV in general. There could be an argument that it, like, takes advantage of people who, you know, need a better life or need an opportunity to earn money and stuff. But think about, like, the quote, unquote, worst reality shows, right, that get the most hate. Like America's Next Top Model, maybe. At least the models there. A lot of them have careers after. We at least know their names. We at least know where they come from. Yes. Tara also makes it a lot about herself, but at least These people are 80 of the story. Whereas in Beast Games, it's all about Mr. Beast. Like, he. Like his Philo. His philanthropy has nothing to do with giving back. It has everything to do with us thinking that he's a good person.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, exactly.
David Dobrik
That's the whole point of the show.
Trisha Paytas
And it filmed in 2024, and American society was like, 2002.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You know, it's like, he's so, like. It's. It couldn't be more out of touch. And the fact that there's so many people just. Just, like, I don't know, watching this, excited for it. Amazon pushing it. Like, I don't get it.
David Dobrik
I am interested to see how the ratings are. The ratings on, like, Nielsen, they're, like, a month behind. I don't know why they're so behind. So it'll be interesting to see, like, when those numbers actually come out, because. I don't know. I don't. I hope they're not great because it actually is very sad to see watch.
Trisha Paytas
It's like the number one show that everyone watched. I mean, we're. That's the thing. It's like we're watching. I'm part of it. Like, even watching it on YouTube, I was like, gosh, I'm like part of.
David Dobrik
The number one driving.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it is weird. It's awful, though. I did it for research purposes for this show, and I hated it. And I'll never. I'll never watch an episode, but I don't know, part of me was hoping.
David Dobrik
It wasn't as bad as maybe I. Like, there was a part of me that's like, maybe this is, like, entertaining and he doesn't treat people terribly, but, like, he literally doesn't care about people. He cares about himself and how he's perceived. That's literally all he cares about. That's crazy.
Trisha Paytas
And he's not even a good host because they do so many voiceovers, like, you pointed it out, I think, where it's like, literally just like, his shoulders are this. And you just hear, hear. What do you call adr, where you just, like, see the voice goes over because you can't get those lines right. And it's just like. Actually, it's so weird how many times you see him actually with, like, a microphone to camera speaking. Like, never, because, like, obviously he couldn't do it or something. So it's like, you're not a host. You're not a philanthropist.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You're not, like, you know, it really doesn't make any sense. I guess he's just the face of this, like, machine, I guess, but not.
David Dobrik
Even a good face. Like, he can't even connect to any of the contestants, you know, like, at least a survivor, like Jeff Probst. He sits down at, like, the Tribal Council where they're getting eliminated. He, like, connects to each individual person. Like, here there's literally no connection at all. It is so deranged. And it's all Mr. B's team. Like, he didn't get anyone else to maybe, like, work on it or, like, contribute. Anyone who's actually done a reality show like this that probably could have helped them, like, made small changes to make it come across better. So it's also, like, just an egomaniac narcissist, in my opinion, who thinks that he knows better because he's very successful on YouTube. But, like, you have a formula. You trick the algorithm, you scream and you sensationalize, and that's that. Like, yes. You get the views of the kids and stuff. But it really is not that good. It's not that good. Sorry. It's just not good.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, the like long haul just, I don't know, humiliating people even like the reality shows today, like they just don't do the humiliation like that where they like drop people, you know, like physically just humiliate them. I think it's like.
David Dobrik
And just take away their whole identity and self and then dangle their hopes, dreams, ambitions on a big bucket of 5 million $1 bills right in front of them and get talked down to over an overseer who's up on the platform. Yeah, it's so bizarre.
Trisha Paytas
No, even compassion, like talking to people and be like it's going to be okay, you know, any of that kind of stuff. And it's like, I'll see you later.
David Dobrik
And fall to the floor.
Trisha Paytas
I've called it from the beginning. I was like the Mr. Beast. David Dobrik relation correlation is very similar to me as a cold case. Nice. That will come out in a minute too. But just clock it. Every time I said it before I even asked something Mr. Beast, even before Ro, I was like, there's something dubious and the dubiousness is coming out. Loves to humiliate people, but I don't think anything is humiliating as his proposal.
David Dobrik
Oh my God, that proposal was sick and squishy.
Trisha Paytas
That was, that was wild. That's like a new level. Like people really came for Shane with the double knee proposal. But this is worse.
David Dobrik
This is so much worse.
Trisha Paytas
3,000 times worse. There's a lot to analyze. First of all, the merch. Everyone wearing the merch.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Ugly merch by the way. I mean if you're Mr. Beast, you should have the best. The quality, the china, everything, you know, just like. Exactly.
Moses Hacmon
Beautiful, special for the, the For Christmas, for the event.
Trisha Paytas
I think it was, I think there was their Christmas sweaters.
David Dobrik
It was like a feastables Christmas sweater.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it was like blue Christmas sweaters and the tightest sweatpants anyone's ever seen on Christmas day. Also two people behind them in the proposal photo. Usually when you propose, like you kind of want to make sure like the background's clear. There's like two, I would assume a mom's or something are behind them in the photo. Everything about it was weird. The caption, the caption. He tweeted with it. So I did a thing is like the most.
David Dobrik
I didn't even see the caption.
Trisha Paytas
His tweet was literally like. So I did a thing. When we talk about millennial cringe watching Like, Gabby and stuff like that. That's a millennial and it's a millennial cringe. I never, like, why, like, if my soon to be my fiance tweeted that that was the tweet, I would, like, I would. I would. I would throw the ring back. I don't care how much it was. That was. It was. It was so bizarre. Everything about it was so bizarre. And I was like, presented.
Moses Hacmon
Like, there's no way she would say no. It's not like she said, yeah, so, like, I did a thing. Obviously she would say yes.
Trisha Paytas
Well, just also put more than. So I did a thing.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Like say something nice.
Trisha Paytas
And also making it about himself.
David Dobrik
Yes. As always. Everything, like, so everything's about him. Everyone, people, like poor people, struggles, people being in poverty, like animals saving the ocean. Everything is about him. Like, nothing is ever about being a good person. It's about us wanting to perceive him as a good person. And I am, like, so sick of it. I'm so sick of it. I don't care that he's number one. I don't care that he's so popular. I don't care that he's so rich. You are not a great person, in my opinion. Everything is about you. You're very narcissistic. I hate your whole little crew of little boys. I hate that you wear a hoodie and joggers and you put a blazer over it. I hate that you stand over a thousand people on a big platform with a million dollar bills behind you. I hate that you're giving away an island on your little game. That makes no sense. None of it makes sense. You're giving away a private island. I hate that you said you built a whole city. You can't even give these little. You can't even give girls tampons. You made people camp out in this big freaking football arena for this game. It's just a bad show. It's a terrible show. It's not even good. If the show is at good, maybe I can sit here and give you a little grace. But the content isn't even good. All you do is yell and scream. And your whole little boy crew, they all kind of suck. I hate all the graphics that you put in your videos. I hate the editing. Like, get real editors to do them. You don't need your YouTube editors to edit this Amazon prime show. Like, step it up. Step it up if you want to be about it. And don't make your freaking fiance and her parents wear your ugly Christmas sweaters. And he said because he was getting roasted on Twitter and he replied, oh, my God, I need to get his direct quote because it was literally killing me.
Trisha Paytas
The merch is wild because like we discussed when Logan did it with his baby with the Lunchables, it's like you don't need it. Like, you're so rich. Like, you don't need that in something that's like monumental, like giving birth, engagement. Like, you just. It just cheapens it so much. Yes.
David Dobrik
And this was his response. It was cold in the house and I just happened to have some Christmas sweaters laying around.
Trisha Paytas
Stop it.
Moses Hacmon
So you don't have a gas to warm the house.
David Dobrik
He doesn't have a heater or heated floors. I don't believe it. Like, are you see, it was cold in the house. The only thing I had lying around for my proposal. A moment that my fiance is gonna remember for the rest of her life.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you to the sponsor. Today's episode row. Have you been curious about Ozempic or Regovi, but not sure if your insurance covers it? That's where Roe comes in. Row can help you understand if GLP1s are right for you and your goals. But that's just the beginning. ROE members have support throughout the process. That means no insurance paperwork and you'll have access to your provider on demand for any questions. Plus, you can sign up online from the comfort of your own home. That means no waiting for an in person doctor's appointment, no commute to the doctor's office, and no waiting rooms. Join the over 250,000 people who have already chosen RO to access GLP1s. Go to Rocco slash Trish to find out if you're covered for free. That's RO Co Trish. Go to RO Safety for boxed warning and full safety information. Prescription only.
David Dobrik
Only.
Trisha Paytas
That's so embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed. I hope she got paid. I hope she got part of that brand deal because that's so embarrassing.
Moses Hacmon
Like, maybe there was no food in the hospital, so that's why Logan got the lunch list.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah.
Moses Hacmon
You know, there's no better than the.
Trisha Paytas
Food in our hospital. That's probably true, but I. Mr. Beast is probably. He's finding me number three of the show, I think.
David Dobrik
Honestly, I think so too.
Trisha Paytas
I. I ranked him over the holiday and I was like, I think Mr. Beast is number three.
David Dobrik
He really is. Because I don't know, I like, waffled a little bit because I did like the chocolate. But now everything else, I'm like, I can't. I can't come Back. I like, actually do not like this man at all.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I know. We can never buy festivals again.
David Dobrik
No.
Trisha Paytas
Never find an alternate for chocolate peanut butter. I do love the peanut butter chocolate. I just love how much peanut butter they put into it. But we're gonna make our own candy. And we're gonna put even more peanut butter. We're gonna put like a peanut butter. Like, I don't know, just chocolate. Wow.
Moses Hacmon
Peanut butter.
Trisha Paytas
Just chocolate. Yum. Done and done. Get on that. I would love to make my own candy. That'd be. Honestly, we could rival Mr. Beast. He's. He's embarrassing.
David Dobrik
It's. He was literally probably the person that annoyed me the most over the holiday break. Like, I just couldn't. Yeah. Because it was just the amount of promotion he did for Beast Games. Like, I'm like, this is a mess. The proposal.
Trisha Paytas
Also, private island is just like. I feel like that has just bad vibes since the Epstein thing. You know what I mean? Like, nobody wants private island vacation anymore. It's like, no, thank you.
David Dobrik
It makes no sense.
Moses Hacmon
Empty piece of land. Like, you can't. The most expensive to build is an island. You know, you have to bring all the materials, the people, nobody. If I just give you an island today, you can't do anything. You have to be a millionaire to begin with to build something on an island. So it's.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. He's like, just go live on this island for a while.
Moses Hacmon
That's the clickbait.
Trisha Paytas
He should go live on that island. I told you my prediction was 2025. Mr. Beast silently and safely disappears. Goes to the island.
David Dobrik
Your fiance, Thea. Well, but her name's Thea.
Trisha Paytas
Is she an influencer? Someone said she was an influencer.
David Dobrik
I have no idea.
Trisha Paytas
I want to interview her. Girl. Like, what? Like, that's so. That's scary.
David Dobrik
I know. I hope you're thriving, girl. On the compound. I hope it's great. I do. I hope your life is great. But, yeah, kudos to Thea for putting up with him because she's a stronger woman than I could ever be.
Trisha Paytas
Same 100%.
David Dobrik
Just to see his face every morning.
Trisha Paytas
That's strength. Happy 2025, everybody. We're back with Hot Topics.
David Dobrik
You can tell that we just. I've been, like, jumping at the bit.
Trisha Paytas
I wasn't that passionate about it, but I'm with you. I now I feel it. But you also were giving kind of 10 things I hate about you at the end, where it's like, I hate the way you look at you. I hate the way you stare. I hate that. I don't hate you. Not even a little bit.
David Dobrik
Not even at all.
Trisha Paytas
I thought you were gonna go there. I thought I was gonna turn love at the end. I was like, wow, he's really going.
David Dobrik
No, that probably that would have been me with David Dobrik back in the day, but I've also been, you know, awoken to his dastardly deeds as well.
Trisha Paytas
David Dobrik remains my enemy. Number one. We'll get there. Yeah, number one for sure. I saw 2024. There's so many predictions on TikTok and I saw 2020 prediction where it's like, David Dobrik goes to jail this year. Not that I'm like wishing that, but I was watching after the Jeff and Casey thing, which we'll get to like later, I was kinda like, he actually did commit like a lot of crimes, allegedly, it looks like from what we see. You know what I mean? It's like, and getting away with so much. I don't wish going to jail anyone. I just wish like a accountability, pay some money, like do something to atone for a mistake or not. But then hiding the mistake, covering up the mistake, putting it on, like, it's just like so much stuff. And I'm just like, that's so wild that he's still. I mean, he's toned down. Like, I think Mr. Beast is so in her face.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So it's just like a lot. I think if it was just like, we don't see him so much, but he's, he's out there. I don't know. I don't know. Lesser the two evils. But I'm going to, I'm going to go with David. Although you just change my mind on Zane and Heath over the weekend. I'm like, maybe they change. I was so hard on them and I was like, you know what, you're right. Maybe they changed. They haven't shown any dubious behavior lately. Maybe they're different people, you know? So, yeah.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I honestly don't know very much about them, like recently. So I don't know. I have an open mind. I have an open mind. Even as hard as it seems, like, as hard as I come across on straight men, I do have an open mind, willing to love, willing to laugh, you know, live, laugh, love.
Trisha Paytas
Millennial back. We love it. Okay, got it, got it. Live, laugh, love.
David Dobrik
You know, I do have an open mind for a straight man, but so, yeah, so Zane and he. I don't know. I don't know. There's some Things, I guess here and there, like the doordash people's names. That was a weird moment. But overall, right there hasn't been too much. And I do like Alicia and Remy.
Trisha Paytas
And if they are, I know they're.
David Dobrik
Co signing their front. They're with them a lot. They spend a lot of time with them. So I feel like they would know, right. Like, if they spend so much time with them, if they.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna go with that too. We're gonna be positive.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
We're gonna be optimistic. I like to think that too. We're probably keeping them relevant. Zane and Too much. I know. On Patreon, I just got right into it. I was like, so Zane and Heath, I don't know why. They occupy my mind way too much. But wait. Speaking street man. I know this is, like, not a hot Topic. It's from the 90s and you don't care, but I kind of want to know. Okay. You never seen the movie too hung Fu. Thanks for everything, Julie. Okay, well, I love this movie so much, and I showed it to say.
Moses Hacmon
The name clearly, because it's just like to Wong Fu.
Trisha Paytas
Thanks for everything. Julie Newmar. Yeah, you missed the ending. You left the last two minutes. Julie Newmar comes to crown the new Drag Queen of America. Oh, that's a big spoiler.
Moses Hacmon
Because you told me, like, it too much ended. I don't. I think I was thinking that Malibu up she came. Pretty much.
Trisha Paytas
She came. You didn't know. You don't even see who won the Drag Queen of America after that whole road trip. You didn't see who won, which. It was such a great part anyways. And then Moses. Okay, so how we got on this, and I promise we'll, like, get through this because this is, like, not a hot topic. It's very old, but I'm very into. I'm very into Dragon. Okay, look, here's the thing. I never. I didn't know about the drag queen circuit. I wasn't fully aware, Like, I knew Willem, of course, because, like, we had worked on stuff, but I wasn't fully aware of, like, the culture and the phenomenon. Obviously. I started watching drag race season 15 Sugar and spice when Sugar didn't me a Snatch Game. And I was like, I'm gonna start watching it. Loved it so much. We watched it last year, which was Plane, Jane and Nymphia, and we, like, loved it. So obviously RuPaul's Drag Race came back on Friday, and I became obsessed all over again. Love the names this season on your nerve, Akashi. I forgot, like, I. Who's the one? The Toots. Who's the Toots?
David Dobrik
Susie too.
Trisha Paytas
Susie too. Susie too. Jewel Sparkle, who actually had a shout out on La Leche. Did you hear the whole thing?
David Dobrik
Yes, I did. I went and heard the whole thing because she did the talent show number to her original song, and it was the shortened version on the show, but in the full version, which is on Spotify and download it today. Apple Music. Yeah, yeah. You get a little shout out.
Trisha Paytas
Is it Las Leches or La Leches?
David Dobrik
I think it's La Leche. La Leche. I started listening to it on the elliptical the other day after I saw that she gave you a shout out. I was like, oh, let me hear the whole thing. And actually, I'm like, not even lying on the elliptical. I was the fastest I've ever gone, like, it's such a good workout song. It's such a good workout song.
Trisha Paytas
Honestly, when we watched on the show, I was, like, obsessed with it. That's why when I saw Trish Craig be like, oh, she gave a shot. I was like, rewatching. I was like, no, Like, I would have heard my name. But yeah, it's on the extended RuPaul being shady. Like, leave my verse in there. That's gonna be so good. But she said ate like Trisha Paytas, which I love that. That's my, like, M.O. in this world. It's like, everyone just references me eating, and I love it so much, but. And I loved her, so. Jill Spark. I really do love all the queens this season.
David Dobrik
I love everyone. I know it's boring to say that, but I really do love everyone.
Trisha Paytas
I love everyone, too. I was just like, joella. I love her. I loved. They did Women's World by Katy Perry. I was excited about that. I was. I just. I loved it so much. I was really getting into my drag world again. It just got me excited. And all the queens were just, like, making me excited. And I was like, okay, I love it. It. So I was like, we should watch Chu Wong Fu, which was like, I loved it as a kid. I loved that movie as a kid. And I don't know why. I just, like, loved it. Rue's actually in that movie Soccer Channing, who played Rizzo and Grease. Isn't it like, there's so many, like, Blight Diner. Like, there's so many great people. Chris Pen's in it too, which is so weird. And then Moses like, oh, we should watch Chris Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I've Never heard of that in my life. Googled it and it's kind of like the same thing, but like, the year before, I don't know. The 90s were really original.
Moses Hacmon
And the better one, I don't know about that.
Trisha Paytas
I was like. And they had no stars in it. The Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I looked it up. Like, I don't know any of these names. Names to Wong Fu has Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguiziamo, who are like three of, like, my all time favorite actors. For real? For real, for real. I'm not just saying that because they were in this movie so good. Specifically John Cuisiamo. I love him so much. Like, I love, love him. But anyways, three straight men playing drag queens. Is there an issue? Is it pro? I don't think the movie's problematic. You watch it. You said it's problematic. I don't think it's problematic.
Moses Hacmon
I thought it was very empowering that it stood out of, like, how that role should have been played by somebody.
Trisha Paytas
Do you think it should only be played by drag queens?
David Dobrik
Like, oh, only by drag queens. I think if they did it now, probably right. I mean, I guess they do have, like. Like, there was a RuPaul, like, spin off show, like, secret celebrity drag race, where I think straight men did compete and they got, like, drag makeovers and then did you know, they did challenges and stuff. So I guess straight people can do drag. Matty Morphosis is a straight drag queen that was on the show.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, really?
David Dobrik
Yeah, I forgot which season she has a podcast. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But she's straight. She, like, is in a relationship with a woman, identifies as straight. That was her whole storyline, was. She's a straight drag queen. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So period. I guess straight guys can be great.
David Dobrik
As long as it's done respectfully and, like, they actually try. I think maybe that's the big thing. Like, if it's done as a joke, I feel like to make fun of.
Trisha Paytas
This sounds so real. Like, I felt their performances so much, and I think it made me like. I know what you're saying, because, like, Rue was in it. I thought that was great. And there was a bunch of other queens, like, around them, which I thought was cool, but there was something just like, like, they gave it so much heart. And I was kind of like, I kind of love this because I think, like, in general, you don't see, like, straight men as, like, allies. And I just, like, loved seeing them. But I know what you mean. I guess for the queens but there's so many queens now that, like, act and they're amazing and they're doing, like, roles. But I guess maybe it's like, you.
Moses Hacmon
Could, like, Rue stood out in the movie. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like RuPaul.
Moses Hacmon
No, but still, like, you can feel the difference between Straitsman playing the role.
Trisha Paytas
Well, she was also professional drag queen. No, I love that.
Moses Hacmon
That's what I'm saying.
Trisha Paytas
All right, well, what do you think? Think?
David Dobrik
I think intent, I think, is the biggest factor, because I don't think you should say no. Straight people should do drag, in my opinion. I think, you know, if they really love it and are passionate about it, want to try it, then I think they should. But if it's, like, to be jokey or to poke fun at the art form.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Then it's a no.
Trisha Paytas
I don't think this did.
Moses Hacmon
They were respectful. They were.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
But it made me cry. It was so emotional.
Moses Hacmon
Like I said at that time, I think they were more exploring the boundaries of act acting, like, how far an actor can go from himself and still be authentic. So I think that was. The goal, is to, like, okay, let's take a straight man. And now you play a drag.
Trisha Paytas
You know, like, what if Glenn Powell remade it in. In this year, in 2025?
David Dobrik
I think I would love.
Trisha Paytas
Right, that's what I'm saying. I think there's something, like, I don't know, kind of cute and kind of hot, too, about, like a. I don't know. Maybe not. I don't know. I just thought it was great. I love it. I love. I love drag queens, and I wish I was one. So maybe that's why my look was inspired by anything.
Moses Hacmon
Think you would. Like you. I think it's more. You would love to see most men in drag, right?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, me, definitely.
Moses Hacmon
Like, it's. It's just, like, Bad Bunny could have.
Trisha Paytas
Been John Leguizamo's character. That would have been so good. I would love to see Bad Bunny in some fishnets.
David Dobrik
Why do I feel like he has maybe. I don't know. I could be making that up, but I feel like Bad Bunny is, like, one of the artists that, like, plays with, like, feminine style a lot, too. Like, obviously, like a Harry Styles. He does.
Trisha Paytas
I didn't know.
David Dobrik
I think so a little bit. I feel like he's done photo shoots where he's, like, kind of been more like, he's played with that stuff. I could be wrong.
Trisha Paytas
I love. I love. I would love to see it remade. I love it so much.
Moses Hacmon
The biggest thing I've learned from the movie was about the evolution of makeup and how much drag culture affected makeup in straight culture.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, it was fierce. I love the movie. Go watch it.
David Dobrik
Y'all are gayer than me. Watching all the.
Trisha Paytas
We love drag shows. I have a couple gay songs coming out. Well, I don't know which one I have. I really wrote four.
David Dobrik
I don't know which one. A couple gay songs coming out as.
Trisha Paytas
An iconic sentence gay album. But they're all kind of the same vibes. And I had to pick just one song, I guess. I don't know. Maybe I can't say it. Well, you won't know which one, but I'm going to perform at a Pride this year. You don't know which pride, but I'm gonna be at a Pride. So I was thinking, like, I really want a really good gay song, and I have a few that I wrote, and I just, like, I could honestly put out a whole album about it. I just really. I just love gay. I just do. I just. I. God, I just want to be surrounded and bathed and everything in gay men that, you know, I don't know. I just. I get excited. And then when I was watching two one, I was just like, this is. I guess they're not gay, but I mean, it gave me, like, they just helped the women in the town. You would love it. Like, they just help, like, one person has, like a DV husband and they help them. Another one is a punk. Teenagers in town that, like, you know, degrade these women and they, like, literally grab them by the nuts and be like, what did you. It's like, I just. It just makes me feel, like, secure and it's just. I love it so much. It's such a good movie, but. Shout out to the real drag queens. Shout out to season 17 drag queens. I love you all so much. I really do. And I go hard for all of you.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it's a really good season of Drag Race. Like, it made me very, very excited. Even that first episode of, like, I really fell in love with everyone. I know everyone's names. I feel like, again, the Anti Beast Games, Like, I know everyone's names. I know their stories. I know where they come from. Like, I'm rooting for people.
Trisha Paytas
Got cream pied in the face.
David Dobrik
Yes. Yes.
Trisha Paytas
D that was so cute. I love that so much. I want to play that. That looks so much fun. They're just good sports. I just, you know.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And it's competitive. Like, it is a life changing amount of Money that they can win, but it's not done at the expense of the contestants, unlike Beast Games.
Trisha Paytas
Watch through. What if Mr. Beast was a drag queen before?
David Dobrik
You would be crazy for sure.
Trisha Paytas
You know, everyone's like, I don't know what I'm going to be on, but I'll accept it whenever. I love them. I love all of them. They're so great. We love you so much.
David Dobrik
Sometimes they have, like, really random people as guest judges, so I feel like.
Trisha Paytas
Other than the first episode, it's always, like, the most random people, which is like, fine, I'm random to put me on, but it's fine. Maybe one day. Maybe season 20.
David Dobrik
Yeah, we're getting there. Maybe after this gay album, it'll really.
Trisha Paytas
Like, elevate all the songs, maybe.
David Dobrik
So, yeah, five.
Trisha Paytas
I can make it ep.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
I love it. Yeah. I'm very inspired and inspired by the rainbow. That's what I can call it. And each song starts with the, like, the colors of the rainbow. So it's like red, orange. So it's like Roy G Biv, but it has, like. It's really cute. I was like, I love this little rainbow album I came out with is. So anyways, look forward in June. Let's put it all out. They're all kind of the same vibe, but I. I like it. And I'm like, can I put it out? Because I'm not a gay. Because it's mostly about gay men. I love the whole queer community, but it's mostly about gay men and I just, like, love them.
David Dobrik
So, yeah, maybe you can have someone feature like, on the song. You know, they all love a little verse.
Trisha Paytas
The little verse. If there's a verse out there, who wants to verse on my verse? Let me know.
David Dobrik
That was good. That was a good one.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. Well, it's not pride yet, so let's move on here.
David Dobrik
It's pride every day.
Trisha Paytas
That's so true. Happy pride, Oscar. I mean, is it all for queers? Right? It's all for queers.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
All right.
David Dobrik
We love full spectrum.
Trisha Paytas
I love the spectrum. I love when we bring up the spectrum. The spectrum of life, the spectrum of love. I have nothing.
David Dobrik
The Golden Globes.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, like, that's it for me. The Golden Globes.
David Dobrik
They had the Golden Globes last night.
Trisha Paytas
Not a real show. Right. It's like the pretend one.
David Dobrik
It's kind of unserious vibes. Yeah. I mean, it's getting to be a little bit more serious again. This is the one that infamously got canceled for a couple years because they were bought off by Emily in Paris. They got a trip. The voters got a trip to Paris.
Trisha Paytas
That makes so much sense.
David Dobrik
And then they got exposed. And that's why it was like all these really serious shows getting nominated or, like, really highbrow, like, respected shows. And then Emily Paris was in the same category and everyone was like, wait, what it? And then it turns out the voters got, like, trips to Paris, so they were kind of persuaded.
Trisha Paytas
That's so funny. Yeah, that makes sense. Like, knowing that watching the world, I mean, this makes sense now. You know what I mean? Because watching, you're just like, what's happening? But that makes sense.
David Dobrik
Yeah, they were canceled for a little bit, but they have rebranded and as well. I forget there's, like, new more inclusive voters and stuff. I forgot. And then it's new. I think it's a new company that works on it, too. So it's getting to be more serious again. But. But yeah, this one is also, like, odd because it's a mix of TV and film and a lot of the shows, I feel like we've just been celebrating the same shows. Like, oh, like, with just the Emmys and then this. Like, how many times have to see Jeremy Allen White winning award?
Trisha Paytas
You know, that show's not even good. We try to watch it. I'm like, this is not even a good show. And we love every show in the show. I'm like, what? And is it a comedy?
David Dobrik
There's an. Not in my opinion, no. And a lot of people's opinions, no. But it always gets in the comedy category.
Trisha Paytas
It's not like, it's just not a comed. Like, you watch and you're stressed and anxious and there's nothing funny.
David Dobrik
It stresses me out. I could only. I watched seasons one and two. I couldn't do three.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I think we made it maybe three episodes. And it was honestly, like, so much anxiety. I just like, I hate this show so much.
David Dobrik
I love. I think everyone on it is super talented. It's just not for me. Like, IO I think is amazing. Obviously, it's just not for me. It just makes me so stressed the whole time. And that's just not my, like, vibe. Like, I love a hacks. I just want to laugh, you know.
Trisha Paytas
Shout out hacks for winning. Shout out. There was so many. And again, I think it's because I'm aging and I just love older women winning. And I'm just like, shout out out hacks. Jean Smart. And then also I'm Demi Morm. I do love. I do love That I just. And Demi Morris speech. Like everything about it, I just, I love it so much when there's like women in Hollywood just. And Pamela Anderson got like so many people. I'm just like, oh, it gives me hope. I think I'll win my first golden globe at like 72.
David Dobrik
Honestly, I mean, like a lot of people, it's weird. Okay, so Demi Moore in the substance. It's about like, you know, a woman aging and then being feeling like she's, you know, aged out of life, basically. Like she can't be taken serious because of rage. And then baby girl is another one too where. Where she's like an older woman who has an affair with like a younger man. And it's about like, you know, her not feeling alive or valued anymore because of her age. So it is the. And they're getting nominated for these kind of roles.
Trisha Paytas
So that's the Nicole Kidman one. Nicole Kimman's a little sus to me though, because she's been doing a lot of movies where she's always has a hot young love interest. Like, why are you only doing movies with 30 year olds having sex with you?
David Dobrik
I think she does a lot though. No, because what was that last one she did? The Netflix one?
Trisha Paytas
Zac Efron.
David Dobrik
No, the show where it was like.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I didn't see it.
David Dobrik
It was the, the Meghan Trainor theme song. That's all I remember from it. Oh, we're just criminals. Criminals. A normal age. I forgot his name.
Trisha Paytas
Someone probably hot.
David Dobrik
Yeah, but he's older. It was like her age. Like a middle aged man.
Moses Hacmon
But that's what guys do all the time. They make movies just to cast young girls to kiss and make up.
Trisha Paytas
That's creepy too. I don't like that either.
Moses Hacmon
No, but I'm saying like, so she's just doing finally.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
David Dobrik
And I respect her because she's like. Someone asked her why she like, it's almost like she says yes to everything because she is on so many.
Trisha Paytas

David Dobrik
She's in a really, really critically acclaimed movie and then she's in that Netflix show that was like very unserious.
Trisha Paytas
The one you're talking about?
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
What's it called?
David Dobrik
I'm for I'm like criminals blinking out on what the freaking show is called.
Trisha Paytas
I've never heard of it.
David Dobrik
Dakota Fanning was in it. It was like a murder mystery kind of show. Oh, the Perfect Couple. That's what it was. It came out a couple months ago.
Trisha Paytas
That title, but doesn't want to watch it.
David Dobrik
It, it was really weird. Like it's literally the opening the like it was about a murder mystery and the opening theme song was the Meghan Trainor song. And then they all performed a dance number to this and like it made no sense in the context of the show because the show was like trying to like a kind of serious murder mystery. But then it opened when they were like, we're just criminals.
Trisha Paytas
They were all singing it. Yes, I kind of like that.
David Dobrik
It was kid. It was kind of catching camp. But anyway, someone was like, why do you do. Why do you make so many things? She's like, well, I know that if I am involved in a project, it employs like all these other people, like an employees. Like, like, if she can be involved in it, then it gives like new directors a chance. It gives like new up and coming talent a chance to, you know, get a job. So I respect that she's working and she's supporting other people. So yeah, I like her.
Trisha Paytas
Maybe I'll do that too. When I'm like 60, be like, okay, I only want to have a hot 30 year old year old. That's crazy. When I'm 60. My 30 year old love interest was not even born yet though.
David Dobrik
Like that's what's wild. Think about.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, like that to me kind of trips me out a little bit. That's not gonna be mean, trust me.
David Dobrik
But yeah, I love Demi most. I might. I haven't seen the substance because I don't like body horror that much. But I love like everything about it weirdly. Like, I love the memes. I love the idea.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
I love right now Margaret Qualley.
Trisha Paytas
I love her.
David Dobrik
I really don't know much about her, but I, I like, I love how pretty she is. I really, I love her eyebrows and I love her teeth, which sounds like so odd and creepy, but like she just says like it's gorgeous. In a world of veneers. Like, I just like seeing no real teeth.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. I loved her. She was in Once Upon Time in Hollywood. Did you watch? You seen that movie?
David Dobrik
I've seen clips of her in it.
Trisha Paytas
The movie is actually so. I don't know. I love that movie.
David Dobrik
I love Tarantino. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's so good. And they. She's just so. Yeah, she was very. Now she's like more like the traditional beauty. Back then she had more like quirky features and maybe she still has it. I guess I don't rem. Really like look at her. But back then she had a lot of like quirky features and stuff like that. And he showed a lot of her feet, which is, like, kind of weird, but she had, like, quirky feet and everything was, like, just kind of quirky and stuff. But she was just, like, cute and just, like, so, like, beautiful in, like, a different way than like, like a Sydney Sweeney or something like that, which. I really like her. I would watch it too. I should, because everyone's talking about it. But, yeah, anything gory or anything.
David Dobrik
I'm just like, yeah, I'm not good with body horror at all. And I know it gets kind of intense towards the end, but I. I support from a distance. Like, I haven't seen it. I trust that it's a great film. Trust that they're great and. And Margaret Qualley, like, her talking voice in interviews and when they presented at the show. Like, I love her talking voice too. Like, she has such a cute way that she speaks. She's my favorite Nepo baby. I'm claiming her as my favorite.
Trisha Paytas
Who's her parents?
David Dobrik
I think her. Her dad was a model and her mom, I think, is Andy McDowell.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yes, that's right. That does sound right.
David Dobrik
So I'm claiming her as my favorite Nepo baby, and she's married to Jack Antonoff, who I also love.
Trisha Paytas
They're married?
David Dobrik
Yeah, they got married last year.
Trisha Paytas
How do I know him? He's Taylor Swift's writer, something producer.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. He looks like you in your brain.
David Dobrik
He's a man with glasses and dark hair.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I do love her. I do. I. I love the whole new. I love all the young girls. Who's the other one from Once Upon Time in Hollywood? Maddie.
David Dobrik
Oh, Mikey Madison, who was nominated for Noir, also love her as well.
Trisha Paytas
Not an EPO baby, though.
David Dobrik
Not an EPO baby.
Trisha Paytas
She's been in all the interviews being like, no, my parents. Did you see that one where the girl was like, oh, yeah, Mad. My parents are someone favorite. Who's your parents?
David Dobrik
I had to edit that one. That's funny.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that one was a good edit.
David Dobrik
Thank you.
Trisha Paytas
Because I was kind of, like, shook that. I don't know who was next to.
David Dobrik
Her, but they were just Isabella Rossellini, who's her parents. I forgot who. She's a really famous, like, older actress. I forget the. I forget her name, but, like, very, very famous. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
She's talking about how everyone's like, the Nepo baby. And like, oh, my parents are an actress too, and like, oh, who are your parents? Like, nobody. I like. I'm the first person to do that.
David Dobrik
My mom's a psychologist.
Trisha Paytas
I love, love that answer. I was Just like everyone just assumes everyone's a Nepal baby. My favorite still might be Lily Rose. I haven't seen Nosferatu, but it kind of makes me want to watch it, honestly.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I've heard really great things about Nosferatu too.
Trisha Paytas
Scary is this Gary?
David Dobrik
I think there are scary elements. I read that, like, they. Because there's scenes with, like, rats and stuff around that they really had rats and stuff all over the place.
Trisha Paytas
So, see, it's normal. Everyone has rats. Everybody has them. Set those traps. Moses set a new round of traps for the new year, and it's great. Humane traps, right? I don't know. Yeah, everyone has them. There's nothing wrong with it.
David Dobrik
Even knows.
Trisha Paytas
And they were real. They got to use them for the film.
Moses Hacmon
It's like the Beast Games. I do it.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. My God. Treating people like human rodents. I did see a clip of what's the one? Amelia Perez. It's been going on on Twitter because I haven't watched it. I really haven't watched it, so I can't, like, whatever. But that musical. The musical number is actually wild. The one with, like, Zoe Zelda singing.
David Dobrik
By the transition song or something. I know.
Trisha Paytas
That's bad.
David Dobrik
That's bad. I know. I'm confused about it. I was really confused. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
I haven't.
David Dobrik
Again, I haven't seen it. It's just not my thing. Again. Support from a distance. I'm like, everyone's saying it's good. Love everyone involved with it.
Trisha Paytas
The idea sounds good.
David Dobrik
Yeah, the idea sounds good. I. I think I'm hoping that in context, it probably is better. Because, I mean, if everyone's saying it's good, like all these critics and stuff, right? Doesn't have to, but there's a big anti Amelia Perez movement going on. It's crazy stuff saying that it's bad, and then it's like, it's a Mexican story, but it's made by a French man.
Trisha Paytas
So is that very little Mexican actors?
David Dobrik
Yeah. So I don't know. I mean, everyone's saying it's good. I don't know. I don't.
Trisha Paytas
That's problematic alone, though, because I was reading the thread, okay? Not to be, like, so woke, but I was reading the thread. I was like, this does sound a little problematic because he was like, I don't know if this was a direct quote, but someone basically was like, why were there more Mexican actors hired? And he's like, there wasn't enough that were as, like, talented enough for the movie or something, which is like, like wild. So I was just kind of like a little. I don't know. That seems like a little odd too. I don't know the context of the movie. Obviously a lot of them are Hispanic, but they're more like, I guess like Spaniard. Like Latin origin. Like European.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I think Carla who plays Emilia Perez is Brazilian, I believe.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, interesting.
David Dobrik
So yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, I don't know. I get it. I mean Jlo wasn't, you know, she played Selena and she's not Mexican American. So I don't know. I, I get, I haven't seen the movie, but I know a lot of people like were critical of the director not speaking Spanish or English as his first language and like making this movie. And then I guess he didn't like bother to learn about. I just read a thread. I don't know, you guys, this could be wrong. But I got, I got a little mad too. I was like, I guess I could, I, I could see that if it's.
Moses Hacmon
Like your culture, it's very French.
Trisha Paytas
What's very French?
David Dobrik
Yes.
Moses Hacmon
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Very French of what?
Moses Hacmon
Everything he did. It's very French.
Trisha Paytas
Like not learning the culture.
Moses Hacmon
French are the superior culture there. But like they're not really into other cultures in that way.
Trisha Paytas
While the movie is about a Mexican American woman.
Moses Hacmon
But I'm saying it's very French.
Trisha Paytas
Okay, well that's a bold statement.
Moses Hacmon
Well, he made a force. They're like all Mexicans are not talented enough for my movies.
Trisha Paytas
It was indirectly. I just saw the Twitter thread, but. But the music alone was. It seemed, it seemed like a parody. It didn't seem real. Like that's what you saw the clip, right? At least the clip. And I'm like, even at like in context, out of content, there's no context that would have made that a good song.
David Dobrik
I don't maybe, I don't know. I'm just an open minded about it because I'm like, everyone is like if the Academy is saying it's good. It was literally like the most nominated film at the Golden Globes. Again, you're right, that is a serious show. But I mean it's for the Oscars. Like the, the odds are in its favor. The odds are in his favor for like original song is supposed to go to them. Like Zoe Saldana for supporting.
Trisha Paytas
I love Zoe Saldana, but I believe the people. I listen to the people and I think that people.
David Dobrik
I'm open to anything. I don't know again, because I haven't seen it. So I. And I'm Not Mexican too. So I don't know. I, I not being Mexican and also not having seen the movie is like, what am I to say? I, I, I'm open minded about it.
Trisha Paytas
You know, I'm angry on both parts, I just, I guess. And being a Wicked Stan, I mean it is one of those things like I love, I love. I can't believe she hasn't won before because she is kind of in every single thing. She like is amazing in everything. Everything. But just seeing that musical number compared to like wicked musical number, it's like kind of wild. And I did see someone put on Twitter too, and I thought this was an interesting observation that the Golden Globes hates female driven comedy. Musicals, like feel good movies. Like they don't, like they snubbed Barbie, they snubbed Wicked. Which Wicked, like not winning anything. And like I think you said this last year where like the Golden Globes is kind of like the pity award for like, then the Oscars are the, like Austin Butler won a Goldie Golden Globe, which I think should have won the Oscar, but they did that in order for Brendan Fraser to win the Oscar. You know what I mean?
David Dobrik
The Golden Globes, they have I think six nominees per category. And then they also split like in the Oscars, all the film genres are one. It's just film. But at the Golden Globes you get like the musical comedy and then you get like the drama. So you basically get 12 nominees for films.
Trisha Paytas
So who won? So musical comedy was always Adana.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Trisha Paytas
Which is crazy because Amelia Press. Musical comedy. Comedy. It's a musical.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, come on. I think they just put music in to make it a musical. They're like, we're in the musical category. Let's put it in. Honestly, my gay album is looking better and better because that song is wild. I mean, that was a wild song. And I was just like, okay, I could be better equipped to write this kind of music. But that's crazy that, that one musical comedy. So what one best supporting actor.
David Dobrik
I know the actor was Adrien Brody from the Brutalist.
Trisha Paytas
Never heard of it. The director won that one too. For Brutalist. I'm like, what the hell is the Brutalist?
David Dobrik
It has, I think it's just now coming out. It, I know it's really long.
Trisha Paytas
I hate it.
David Dobrik
And I know it's very serious.
Trisha Paytas
He's so serious. Has there been anything where he's not like, what was the one where, where he played the piano, remember? And he's like, in the war. What is that?
David Dobrik
The pianist yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That movie is so sad. Like, it doesn't look that sad from the poster, but then you watch the movie, and I'm just like, this movie is sad. I guess he's good at playing sad. I haven't seen him in anything funny. He probably is so serious. You know Adrian Brody?
Moses Hacmon
Yeah. We. You had a moment.
Trisha Paytas
I had an Brody moment.
Moses Hacmon
We watched some of his films. Wasn't he in Houdini?
David Dobrik
Oh.
Moses Hacmon
Oh, that's why we watched.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah. Oh, right. I did. But what started my Adrien Brody kick? Was it Houdini? Houdini was so. He was so hot in that.
Moses Hacmon
Maybe it was Houdini. There was another.
Trisha Paytas
There was something else.
Moses Hacmon
There was something else.
Trisha Paytas
Was it the Marilyn Monroe movie that was horrible on Netflix?
Moses Hacmon
We definitely saw that.
Trisha Paytas
He was Arthur Miller. He was hot.
Moses Hacmon
You saw that one, too?
Trisha Paytas
Okay, I love him. I do love him. Whatever.
Moses Hacmon
You like him. Yeah, but the. This movie I don't know about.
Trisha Paytas
I wonder if you'll. Come on, get your serious on here. Adrian Brody. I love him. I do love him. You're right. He deserved to win. Never saw his brutal.
Moses Hacmon
He's like a cousin of Alan Cummings.
Trisha Paytas
What? In what world? How.
Moses Hacmon
Their looks and behavior, they just there have some parallels.
Trisha Paytas
Everybody I love Moses gives me the vibes of like you do give me oncoming vibes. You give me Adrian Brody vibes. And you give me Rojalo de la.
Moses Hacmon
Vega from Take everyone you love, combine them to one. That's me.
Trisha Paytas
You do look like all of them. And all those people are different races, and you look like all of them. You're ambiguous. You are ambiguous. You should be an actor. We used to get head shots for Moses a couple years ago, so I wanted him to be an actor, but I forgot to send them out.
Moses Hacmon
We just had two kids.
Trisha Paytas
No, this was when we only had one baby. I was gonna. I was gonna be your agent. I still could. Adrian Brody, watch out. He is. God, he is great. Great. Okay, he deserved to win. But why so serious? Why is he always playing like a detective? Or. Houdini's great. If we had a third baby. I really love the name Houdini for boy or girl? I'm really. I'm gunning for that one. I love it.
David Dobrik
I go Houdini.
Trisha Paytas
What is that? Oh, is it God, the pop girlies are really coming from my baby names because I mentioned Houdini before. All right. Love it, though. Oh, wait, but how do we get Adrien Brody? Has he interviewed for ET Tea?
David Dobrik
Probably.
Trisha Paytas
I've never seen him on A red carpet.
David Dobrik
I. I think we got a. Because there was also the Palm Springs Film Festival, which is the day before the Golden Globes.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah.
David Dobrik
And I think we got them there. But wait, really?
Trisha Paytas
I didn't see any. Did you edit?
David Dobrik
I. I was only. There's only so much I could do. I did three Ariana Grande videos. I did Mikey Madison, and then I did someone. Oh, Selena Gomez. There. Only so much a girl can do.
Trisha Paytas
Adrian Bernie. Like, no, I'm not gonna do any tik toks of him.
David Dobrik
The priority list, he was lower for me because he's so serious. Yeah. I still have to do Timothy Chalamet. And then we'll get to him eventually.
Trisha Paytas
He drives me nuts too. Why does he answer questions about Selena Gomez on the red carpet when you, like, make out with her at the table?
David Dobrik
Kylie Jenner.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah. What did I say?
David Dobrik
Selena Gomez.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Timothy. I think Denny, director from ET Asked like, oh, what's like to have Kylie Jenner supporting you here today? And he just said, it's great to be supported by my peers or whatever. So he kind of like, sides.
Trisha Paytas
It's great. I love her. Like, why? Like. Like you're at a table together. Like, that's so weird. I hate that. I hate when people try to be mysterious, but you bring them and you sit next to them at the table. It's like, okay, don't bring them then.
David Dobrik
We've been together for two years.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. That's so weird. It's like, okay.
David Dobrik
And I do not like. I like Timothee Chalamet. I hate his mustache. I don't like the mustache, but I do like him.
Trisha Paytas
I think, name one person a mustache looks good on nobody. You should grow one.
David Dobrik
I'm sure there's someone. I just can't think off the top of my head. Pascal.
Moses Hacmon
She had a good joke about it.
Trisha Paytas
Al who?
Moses Hacmon
She. I love your eyelashes, especially the ones above your lip. I like her and Adam Sandler. She got him to say, how do.
Trisha Paytas
They hear him so well?
Moses Hacmon
I'm sure they. There's microphones. No, there. I think there's microphones in the space. They can pick up.
Trisha Paytas
That was loud.
David Dobrik
I think for him. They probably set it up before. I would think, like, if she wrote it and she knows that they're going to.
Moses Hacmon
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Give him a shout out or he.
Moses Hacmon
That was my favorite moment. Moment.
Trisha Paytas
That was your favorite moment?
David Dobrik
Shout out.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I mean, everyone loves Adam Sandler. He is kind of the best. He seems very likable. My favorite moment was I had one hold On Let me think. I don't have one. I don't know.
David Dobrik
Did you see the awkward interview moment with Ariana Grande, though? Because it kind of gave me, like, oh, was that. No, it wasn't any. It was with Access Hollywood. It was on the red carpet.
Trisha Paytas
Of course it was. With Access.
David Dobrik
It kind of. It went pseudo viral. I don't know if it got a lot of picked up, but I thought it was, like, the funniest thing ever. So during an interview with Access Hollywood, she. Ariana, was asked who the first person she was called when she found out she was nominated for a Golden Globe. And she starts like, oh, my goodness. Well, my mom. And then the interviewer just, like, interrupts her mid sentence and says, sorry and says, your grandmother's still alive.
Trisha Paytas
Why do they say that?
David Dobrik
I don't know why. She literally, literally stop. Like, as she's about to say, like, well, I called my mom's like, your grandmother's still alive.
Trisha Paytas
She's, like, dying or something, or. Why did they ask that?
David Dobrik
I don't know what possessed her to, like, ask that at all. But obviously, like, if you're an Ariana fan, you know that she loves her Nona.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, she watched Wicked with her. Like, I don't understand the question. Like, maybe just because she's.
David Dobrik
I don't know. I don't know. And then Ariana responded, yes, my Nona, she's 99. Nona was second. And she kind of, like, breezed through it and didn't, like, give it any side eye or whatever. But everyone, like, that washed. It was like, wait, that's so. Oh, that's not.
Trisha Paytas
I saw that, dude. I was like, wait, is it just like her? She's just old and she's, like, asking her if she's okay. Ariana's keeping it classy for sure. Is Nona. Nona Italian for grandma?
David Dobrik
I think so, right?
Trisha Paytas
One of our favorite restaurants is called Nona's. And I never knew why they called it that. And I'm like, now that I'm thinking, I'm like, oh, my God.
David Dobrik
I'm telling you, what if it was Ariana's Nona's?
Trisha Paytas
Maybe we'll go eat there. That. I. That is weird. No, that interviewer is wild. I mean, some interviewers should just not be interviewers.
David Dobrik
I always feel pity because, like, you do interview so many, like, people, and it's such a long day. You're in those tight dresses. You probably haven't eaten much, you know, and it's like, I feel like it literally could happen to anyone. So I always. I. I feel for them. And then there was another moment. You know Kieran Culkin?
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Love him so much.
David Dobrik
Well, he did an interview with a reporter for et, Rachel Smith. And then she, like, had, you know, like, you have your just Trish card. She had her little card with just, like, you know, little notes or whatever. And he's like, if you know everything about me, why do you need that card? And then he's like. And then he took her card and threw it and goes, come on, wing it. Do it off the cuff. And everyone's like, wait. Yeah. And luckily, she, like, really rolled with it very well. She's like, very sweet.
Trisha Paytas
What did she say?
David Dobrik
She just kept it moving. She was off. She's like, okay, I'll be off. She's like, I'm off the cuff. She's like, yeah, I got my car, but I'm doing this off the cuff for sure. I mean, he throws it back like.
Trisha Paytas
So how was home Alone? How much Pepsi did you drink? He wasn't home. He drinks a Pepsi, and he's like, you're gonna be sharing a bed with him tonight. And he's like. And he's drinking the Pepsi. He's in both and.
David Dobrik
Oh, my God, that's funny.
Trisha Paytas
I know about him. I'd be like, I don't know anything else about you.
David Dobrik
I know the Mormon show is six. Is he in success? What if he's in a big show? I know that. And then never.
Trisha Paytas
No, really. But I just know the Mormon one with Andrew Garfield.
David Dobrik
He was in under the Bannered sky or something.
Trisha Paytas
I didn't know he was in anything else. Well, he looks pretty good after all these years. Years.
David Dobrik
I think that's just shtick is he's very, like. He does all these interviews, and he's just very, quote, unquote, real.
Trisha Paytas
I don't like that. I don't like. No, don't be like that. That's so weird.
David Dobrik
I feel like people forget. Like, it is a lot of work to interview, like, a hundred people at the Golden Globes.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Like, there's so many other elements going on.
Trisha Paytas
Like, you said you're not Macaulay. How am I supposed to just know these off my head? Like, that's so weird.
David Dobrik
And you just. Just, like, in the moment, like, you can kind of, like, space. Or if you're, like, really listening, you can kind of, like, lose your train of thought because you're trying to. There's so many elements. So, I mean, I know it probably was made to be, like, silly funny. But I was like, all the comments too were like, it's kind of hard. Like you. There's a lot of work in the setting and preparation. Like, let her have her note card.
Trisha Paytas
I think that sarcastic sense of humor is out in 2025. Like, even watching, like, Ryan Reynolds and stuff, like, past interviews. Because everyone's like, oh, well, if this was Ryan Reynolds, people. But so problematic too. Like, his sense of humor is also so offensive and so awful. We kind of called that, though. We've always said he was kind of annoying. But I was like, those people are just like. But they're masking it as, like, humor. And I hate that. That's. Oh, that's just her comedy. That's just a sense of humor. It's like, well, that's not treating other people like you're not. You're not this reporter who's, like, trying your best. It's like you're. When you're disrupting other people's lives, like, you're not a comedian. You're not funny. You're just being a hole. And I hate that so much. It's not like you're on stage telling jokes and, like, you just be whatever. You're, like, messing with someone's livelihood, like, giving my cards back.
David Dobrik
True. And it is also, in a way, punching down because obviously the power dynamic, like, the star has more power than, like, the reporter.
Trisha Paytas
So and so egotistical. To be like, if you know someone I don't know about, you actually give me back those.
David Dobrik
Throw your justice card.

Moses Hacmon
He probably goes to restaurants throw aways their recipes.
David Dobrik
If you're cook here, why do you need to know the recipe?
Trisha Paytas
People are so weird. I didn't see that moment. But Kieran Culkin doesn't come across my.
Moses Hacmon
Thing just sounds like trying to be quirky.
Trisha Paytas
That's what I'm saying. That's in the humor and just gotta go like you're not quirky. You're just weird and awkward.
David Dobrik
And there's like another little viral moment. I think people took this out of context where it was like the moment Zendaya sees Benny Blanco and Zendaya's like making a face and I'm like at what point do we just leave Benny Blanco alone? I kind of feel for him. I do.
Trisha Paytas
No, it's, it is so, it is so mean. I mean people like, like you said roles reverse gender reverse. Like if you're talking about a girl like that just constantly like how everyone hates you and you're ugly and you look like you smell like all this.
David Dobrik
How are you dating this gorgeous person?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Which wasn't that Nikki Glazer's joke to him is, like, you know, wow. I don't know what it was.
David Dobrik
Granted his wish.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It's just like. And they both knew, like, as soon as she, like, went over them, they both, like, knew. And it's like, okay, we get it. He's not as attractive as most people, but, like, why do we have to. On someone who's already not attractive? Do you know what I mean? That's crazy.
David Dobrik
I get it. If he was, like, very, like, if he was Mr. Beast wreaking havoc and, like, ruining people's lives, then, okay, like, yeah, anything's kind of fair game, I guess.
Trisha Paytas
But he's cooking for Selena, just living a quiet life right now.
David Dobrik
He's not really doing, you know, he's just kind of vibing, like.
Trisha Paytas
And today just looks at him like, oh, my God, she was terrified of him. She was scared.
David Dobrik
And I feel like Zendaya's so, like, overly polite that, like, obviously that wasn't the case too. I feel like everyone has to know, like, she wasn't playing. Like, oh, everyone has to know that. Like, like, so jump here.
Trisha Paytas
You were right, though. Your 2025 prediction has come.
David Dobrik
Did I not clock it? A week in a weekend. Zendaya and Tom Holland engaged.
Trisha Paytas
And it's confirmed today, right?
David Dobrik
Today that they're engaged. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Who confirms it?
David Dobrik
A source close to the family revealed to people.
Trisha Paytas
So, like, what does that mean?
Moses Hacmon
They told the person.
Trisha Paytas
People get it, people. While they really get those exclusives.
David Dobrik
I think TMZ was, like, the first to report it. And then a source confirmed to people, which is like, people's very, like, like, established. It's, like, very prestigious. So once it's on people, it's pretty much like, you know, can be facts, I guess. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Congratulations to you for weird prediction.
David Dobrik
I know. I mean, I mean, again, it was probably the most obvious one. Like, they've been together a long time. I feel like they talk about, you know, kids and stuff. So it didn't. It didn't make sense. It was the most obvious. But it does feel good to clock.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God, that was so exciting. I feel like that starts the role. It starts. The kid offers Timmy.
David Dobrik
Timmy and Kylie.
Trisha Paytas
That'll happen.
David Dobrik
Travis and Taylor. I'm feeling. I'm on a roll.
Trisha Paytas
Travis and Taylor would be an epic if their engagement, like, what is their ring look like? I do love the rings of the rich and famous. I'm like, what are their rings look like?
David Dobrik
I know. I think Zendaya's was worth, like, I think it's Reported to be around, like, 200,000. Oh, for them, honestly.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Because.
Trisha Paytas
Right.
David Dobrik
Tom Holland really made that Spider man money.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And someone found, like, an Instagram post that she liked of. Of a ring from that collection, and it was, like, two years ago. So it's like, the fact that he got that ring, it's, like, from a collection that she likes.
Moses Hacmon
She's been pushing for three years to get that ring.
Trisha Paytas
Well, you have to. You have to show what you want. I showed you, like, the month I met you. I'm like, this is the ring I need. Thank you.
David Dobrik
And I love that she, like, obviously, she had to have known that, like, going to the Golden Globes wearing a ring on the finger. It doesn't match the Bulgari, like, set that she's wearing. And then there was videos of her, like. Like, being excited, like, showing everyone her ring. So she had to know I was going to be out. And they're so private. So I like that. I don't know. She kind of did it on her own terms.
Trisha Paytas
And Tom Wallen, though, saying he doesn't show up with her to red carpets because he didn't want to, like, steal her thunder is kind of weird to me. Right. Because it's also like, you're not gonna steal her thunder. She's in da. Like, that's such a weird thing to say. I think.
David Dobrik
I think contextually, he didn't mean, like, I. I will draw attention away from her. I think he means, like, the spectacle of them together will take the attention. Oh, Tom Holland and Zendaya on the carpet versus Zendaya. They had the premiere challengers. You know what I mean? Like, it becomes less about the work and more about them as a couple and the spectacle around them as a couple.
Trisha Paytas
But you're a couple. Like, don't you want the person to support you? Like, don't you want to be, like, with the person? Like, you know what I mean? Like, I want Moses by me, you know, Even if it is. If I'm star challengers and Mike fights and Joshua Connor next to me, I want Moses to be next to me, too. I mean, I get it. Like, let me have my, like, moment with the three. But then also it's like. But also, come here and be next to me.
David Dobrik
I think that's a. I think it depends on the couple because they're also so private and, like, so low key. Because he's like, you know, when we're in a movie together, of course, like, I will, like, pose with her, like, on the Spider Man. Carpet or whatever.
Trisha Paytas
But that's like sesame. That's like saying, if I'm in the movie, I'll come. If not, I'm not coming.
David Dobrik
No, because I think he goes, like, inside. Like, he'll still go. Kind of like Kylie. Like, she doesn't walk the carpet. Or like Benny with Selena. Like, they don't walk the carpet together because then the focus is on them as a couple on the carpet versus, like, you know, it's their moment. And it depends because I think another one of my favorite Golden Globes couples were Adam Brody and Leighton Meester.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know either of them.
David Dobrik
Them Le me. Blair Walder from Gossip Girl. My favorite character of all time.
Trisha Paytas
Which one is she on? Gossip Girl?
David Dobrik
Blair. The one, like, the brunette but not Blake Lively. Otherwise.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
David Dobrik
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
We watched, like a season. I liked it. Moses hated it, so I had to watch it.
David Dobrik
Blair Waldorf is like. I feel like for every millennial gay millennial. Blair Waldorf is like a foundational personality, like, building block. Cuz she is just so, like, fierce. Like, gorgeous. F fierce. Fashionable, A little insecure. She's not like the Blake Lively who everyone loves automatically. Like, she has to, like, be more.
Trisha Paytas
Fierce, you know, Andy was intolerable in that show too. I mean, train. But that character, she was awful, right?
David Dobrik
She was a little here and there.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I think she was awful. I don't. I just remember one where there was like a fashion shoot or something, and she. How are you gonna. Like, she shows up to be the model and she's like, oh, this was my shoe. How are you supposed to show up to be the model? I forgot which one was which, but they were both annoying. And I was like, I don't like this. I watched it for the guy from you. I forgot his name, but I liked him. Horrible in that show. But I loved him. He was coming back too. It's actually not a great show when I think about it. I was like, nothing about it. I remember. I remember there was, like, parents. There was like an older dad and an older mom and you in.
David Dobrik
Oh, gosh. The first couple seasons. Love. And then it got progressively worse. But I love late me. So is my favorite. I loved her music career. She did country music. She did folk music. She did pop music.
Trisha Paytas
Wow. Wow.
David Dobrik
I make them good girls go bad. Remember that song? Yeah. It was like she featured on it, but she was so good on it. I wanted to name my baby Leighton, but then my brother stole it.
Trisha Paytas
He named his baby Layton.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Why don't you name him Blair Honestly.
David Dobrik
But then I would think Juicy Star. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I think she picked Blair.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I remember she said that. I was like, okay.
David Dobrik
And I love the OC I love Seth Cohen. The OC Is like another one of.
Trisha Paytas
Like, never watched it.
David Dobrik
I watched it, like, because I was too young when it was actually on. But then I watched it, like, in high school on dvd. I remember I bought them all and watched it and, like, loved. I love the whole cast. I love Adam Brody, but specifically. But also, like, Misha Bar and Rachel Bilson.
Trisha Paytas
Was he problematic at some point? Adam Brody?
David Dobrik
I don't think so.
Trisha Paytas
I swear there was something about him that gave me the ick.
David Dobrik
Really? I think he kind of is pretty low key. Has his kids, maybe not them, maybe. I mean, I could be wrong, but I love them together. But like, Leighton on the carpet at the Golden Globes was like, no, like, you pose. It's your award. And he, like, insisted that he do with him. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So, okay, well, there's like you said, I guess it depends, I guess bounds. I mean, I definitely want my solo Getty image, but I also want it. So I would do a little bit of both.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
It would be awkward to be the non famous one, though, because you don't know where to, like, okay, do I go up there? Do I not, like, do people want to see? Like, it would be kind of odd. So I always feel. Not that she's not famous, but it.
David Dobrik
Is like, not the big one being honored.
Trisha Paytas
I guess maybe that's why Tom Holland doesn't want to go. He doesn't know if she get in the shot or not. He's like, I'll just like, avoid that altogether.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Then I like, Cooper Koch went with his partner and then he would like very. That situation where he was like, kind of like, Stuart, shout out Stuart. He was like in the back, like, trying to not stay out of the way. And then when he did, like, ET The Nichelle, the interview was like, stuart, no. Like, you got to be up here. Like, this is your man. And then he was like, thank you for including me. It was like so super awkward.
Trisha Paytas
You weren't really know what to do. And then it's like when they do those wide shots, even more awkward because.
David Dobrik
They just see something.
Trisha Paytas
And it's just all around awkward. Oh, man. Okay, well, shout out Cooper Koch. Was he nominated?
David Dobrik
He was nominated for Monsters.
Trisha Paytas
Didn't win?
David Dobrik
No, he didn't win.
Trisha Paytas
Who won?
David Dobrik
That was a good Colin Farrell, I want to say, for the Penguin.
Trisha Paytas
What's the Penguin?
David Dobrik
It's like you're gonna hate it because it's a spin off of the Batman movie with Robert Pattinson.
Trisha Paytas
Awful. Who the hell wants to see the Penguin spin off? No, not me. Unless it's Danny DeVito, I don't want it. That's crazy. Is it good? Have you seen it?
David Dobrik
I haven't seen it, but it has really good reviews and it won.
Trisha Paytas
So, you know, good for Colin Farrell redoing a rebrand because he was just so problematic back in the day. He was awful. He was like playing Britney in Paris and he was just like, oh, I.
David Dobrik
Forgot about that whole era when he was. Yeah, he was messing with all the.
Trisha Paytas
Girls, all of that. He was so ick. And I was just like, oh, I hated Colin Farrell. But at least he.
David Dobrik
Yeah, grew up, I guess, and matured. Will he mature? I feel like he's more lowkey now.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I guess that happens.
David Dobrik
The other awkward moment though was Vin Diesel shading wicked. When he announced like the winner of the. It was like the box office did not see this.
Trisha Paytas
What did he say?
David Dobrik
Like he's like. And the Golden Globe goes to. And he opens it. He goes, wicked. Why? He like, visibly upset? Yeah, he like wicked.
Trisha Paytas
Cuz no one's watching your movies anymore, Vin Diesel. No one's watching the pacifier too. That's crazy.
David Dobrik
How can you shade like the most adored movie of this whole award show?
Trisha Paytas
The award being the best in the box office, which is like. It was by like a lot.
Moses Hacmon
They had no choice. It's a technical award. It's just numbers.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. That's so weird. Why would he be. I never liked Vin Diesel Ebert. I'm just gonna say that I've always put out there. I never liked him. I never understood his appeal. Never liked those Fast and Furious movies.
David Dobrik
I never got behind them either. I did like the outfits. Oh my God. I forgot her name, but I think is her name. The girl in the first one, she had like the little pink. Yes, I love.
Trisha Paytas
Well, I don't know her name either.
David Dobrik
I forget her name, but she's like a model. What is her name?
Trisha Paytas
She had like cool chaps too. She had the car. Yeah. I didn't. I didn't watch the movies, but I liked her.
David Dobrik
Me too. I liked her outfits and all the photos. What was her name? It's killing me.
Trisha Paytas
She was cute. Where's she at?
David Dobrik
I feel like she was a model for a really long time. Right, Right. Yeah, but I loved her. But. Yeah, Then he also like had a weird shout out for Dwayne Johnson. They had Like a feud, too. I feel like it was, again, making it too much about himself, like.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Because at least when, like, the other one. Other, like, people or actors had bits like Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley. Like, it was about the substance, which they're nominated for. I saw, like, making it about their personal.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Something relevant in 2024.
David Dobrik
So that was another one of my, like, awkward.
Trisha Paytas
He gives me weird bro vibes. I think that's why I never liked him too much.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it was all.
Trisha Paytas
All.
David Dobrik
It was odd from him, too.
Trisha Paytas
But why do people like him? He was. He was kind of loved for a minute. What was his thing that people liked him for?
David Dobrik
That's a good question. Oh, he was in Guardians in the Galaxy. He was Groot the tree.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, you can't even see his face in it then. I do like Groot in the shoulders at Disneyland. Never watched the movie, but I bought one. I think he's cute. I can never ride Garden. Have you ridden Guardians of the Galaxy?
David Dobrik
Yes, the ride.
Trisha Paytas
Do you like it?
David Dobrik
Yeah, I like it. The draw drops.
Trisha Paytas
My heart literally feels like it's gonna give out. Like, I did it once when it was Tower of. No, I did Guardians of the Galaxy because it was worse than Tower Terror, because Gardens Galaxy, they kind of, like.
David Dobrik
Bounce bouncy up and down. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I honestly. And you. The worst part is you can't get off the ride.
David Dobrik
No, I was, like, literally.
Trisha Paytas
I literally thought I was gonna have, like, my heart was gonna, like, die. Like, I thought I was gonna, like, jump out of my chest. I was so. And I just wanted to get off, and I couldn't. It was the worst. It was honestly, the most nightmare experience I've ever had in my life.
David Dobrik
Really.
Trisha Paytas
It was horrible. Those. Those rides, I just don't get. I can't. There's people who are thrill seekers, but I just. I can't. I'll never let my kids go on that ride. I don't know. It's just so scary.
David Dobrik
That one I can do. I can't do, like, the Six Flags, like, drop, where they're, like, the. I think it's Superman or something where it goes. It's, like, so high up and, like, you're outside, so you really see everything.
Trisha Paytas
I will never understand people. I mean, I guess a lot of people like those, so I don't know.
David Dobrik
But a lot of people do crazy. Look at Bella and Twilight and New Moon jumping off the cliff. Like, people love doing the love of.
Trisha Paytas
Her life to show up. I would do that, too.
David Dobrik
People love Thrillers.
Trisha Paytas
But a roller coaster, that's so scary to me. I don't know. Why do people like those? I don't, I don't get it. I can't do anything. I can't do, like, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, none of those.
David Dobrik
So what do you go there for?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I love pirates. I love small worlds. I love. What's the Mickey Mouse one we went on? The little car where it's a tornado at the end. That one's fun. Mickey Mouse Railroad Express or something.
Moses Hacmon
And the food.
Trisha Paytas
And the food. The cream cheese pretzel. I love Disneyland. Oscar could have gone to Disneyland over the break, but instead he chose to go to the Orange County Winter Wonderland Festival.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I got scammed at the Winter Fest. It was, it was rough. It was again, I was. For. Over the break, I was like, really going hard for the holiday cheer because everyone around me was depressed. So I was like, I'm gonna be the merry one. I'm gonna, like, bring the holiday cheer festivities. And I saw an Instagram ad for this Winterfest festival. And, like, in the Instagram videos, it would look beautiful. Like, big ice skating rink, like a snow falling from, you know, the, the sky. Big, like, like icy snow areas where you can, like, build snowmen and do snow angels. And it was two hours away. I was like. The day came, I was like, I'm so tired. I. It was after, I think I had to work that day. Like, Like, Darian is in town and I wanna. He was stuck. He couldn't get off work, so he couldn't be with his family. So I'm like, let me do something special. Let's go to Winterfest. And it was like the biggest scam. I, I was supposed to vlog it, but I was too depressed. Cause I was like, damn. I really, like, I thought this was gonna be the big moment. There was like, AI art everywhere of, like, elves with, like, six fingers.
Trisha Paytas
How did you not film any of this?
Moses Hacmon
This is a really Wonka moment.
Trisha Paytas
That's what I said. I was like, what the heck?
David Dobrik
I really should have. I was, like, really taken aback, like, because I think I just put so much shake because I, I, I thought I was, like, doing something so grand. And I was like, damn, I'm so tired, but it's going to be worth it when I see the smile on his face. Like, I was like, so excited. And then he's like, I think all this art is AI. There's like, it was like a hall of fame, but of elves and they had like six fingers and stuff. It Was empty. The snow was just like soap falling from, like, a little fan. That's top. I was like, wait, what? And then all the rides were just carnival rides, but not even, like, winter themed, just like carnival rides you can find anywhere, you know, like in any street corner. And the. It was like all of them were playing different music. The ice, like, the snow area was literally like a sandbox of ice. I was like, wait, what? Like, I couldn't even do a snow angel.
Trisha Paytas
I was like, wait, what did you try?
David Dobrik
No, I couldn't fit. I walked through it. I was like, oh, no. And then, then, like, everything had to be copyright free. So it was copyright free, Elsa.
Trisha Paytas
Copyright.
David Dobrik
Frosted Snowman. They had like a little holiday light show randomly Taylor Swift music. But they could only play, like, less than 30 seconds of the song.
Trisha Paytas
Love that. It's usually like 59 seconds. It's like a minute.
David Dobrik
It was literally just like 20 seconds of like, the air of each song. I guess they're trying to do like a little Heirs tour, but it played on loop because there was only so many songs they could do.
Trisha Paytas
That's so fun.
David Dobrik
Funny, like, it was just crazy. They had a toboggan, but it was like, so small and, like, the hill was tiny. I did try it. I was like, well, again. But I'm like, thank God, because I sent it to you. When I saw it, I was like, this looks beautiful. I'm like, the kids will probably love it. And I'm like, thank God.
Trisha Paytas
I kind of do love stuff. We took the kids to something, too. It's not like it wasn't whatever, but it sounds more grand than it is. It's like we have, like, sledding and stuff too. And then. Yeah, it's like we're in California, so it's like literally just like a foot. Like little snow. Moses ate with her, though. He went down on the sled. They loved it. They did go. But she has two times.
David Dobrik
This one was two hours away, though. So I think also. And, like, it was more expensive and it was just like, it was not. Yeah, the drive, the money. I was like, damn.
Trisha Paytas
But my first thought is always to film when things go wrong. I always want to film. I rarely put out footage when things goes wrong because then I feel bad. I'm like, okay, I don't want to, like, ruin this company or whatever, but it's like, that's my first thing. It's like, I need to start filming.
David Dobrik
Like, Darian was more like. I think I cared more about it being like a thing than he did because he was like, oh, you should vlog this. This is kind of crazy. And I was like, I can't. I was so defeated it up. And then ironically, I think they unknowingly made the festival's theme like the trans colors because there was trans flags everywhere. But it was like pink, white and light blue. But I. I don't think they're meant to do that because it was like a more conservative side of town.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, it's Orange County.
David Dobrik
Yeah. So I think they just unknowingly made. But I'm like, love that.
Moses Hacmon
And flags are in discount. Let's just put them up.
Trisha Paytas
So funny. Yeah.
David Dobrik
So at least they have. They have that. The trans flag color. That was the silver lining.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. They were supporting without knowing.
David Dobrik
It was rough though, was the food wasn't great.
Trisha Paytas
Did you eat anything?
David Dobrik
I had a Korean fried cheese, but it was hot. It had the hot dog in it. And I don't like the hot dog, but I at least ate the cheese part.
Trisha Paytas
I love it. I wish there was one closer to us. I love that.
David Dobrik
I know. That was the first time I had it since we went last year. So I was crazy. So I did. Was excited for that. I was like, oh, okay, this is turning around. But everything else was rough. The games were really expensive. It was just like. It was crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Should I go to Disneyland?
David Dobrik
Moral of the story, because you were.
Trisha Paytas
That was your option. Was Disneyland option.
David Dobrik
I was like, would you rather go to Disneyland or.
Trisha Paytas
Wow.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
He said, I want to go to the winter festival.
David Dobrik
More festive, you know? And I was like, okay. Honestly, Joey Graceffa's Christmas parties had more authentic snow.
Trisha Paytas
Which sled was better? Which snow?
David Dobrik
The snow at Joey Christopher's Christmas parties is better. Then Winterfest Orange County.
Trisha Paytas
I wonder if he still do those. Does he still do them?
David Dobrik
I don't think so.
Trisha Paytas
It's done. It's. That was part of the Patreon drama was the Christmas parties.
David Dobrik
Yeah. When you get invited. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Which, by the way, Daniel Prada was like told, gabby, it's not you, Gabby, it's Trisha. And then also, Gabby did not get invited, but she bought the present. So you actually did her more dirty than me because you're like, no, no, no, it's not you. It's Trisha we don't want at the party. And then she's like, hey, saw you at the party, had a gift. So sneaky.
David Dobrik
Stink justice for Gabby.
Trisha Paytas
He's like, no, no, not you, it's Trisha. It's like, hey, party Happened. I didn't get the invite.
David Dobrik
It's crazy that the joy could have a Christmas party back in the day that was like. That was a party, right? Because I feel like the who's who was there.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know. For me, it was like, I have nothing else going on. I might as well. Like, I was always depressed when I went there. Like, it was not at the actual party itself, but I went because I was depressed. I was like, wow, it's this. Or contemplating bad thoughts in my head. So I'm like, I guess I'll go. So every time I went, and then I would just get more depressed. I'm like, I don't have any friends. So to me, it was not an it party.
David Dobrik
Elephant gifts always did slay, though.
Trisha Paytas
So, yeah, they're probably. That's why they ended it. They're probably like, no one's gonna bring an iPad or Balenciaga sweatshirt.
David Dobrik
Well, Jojo did bring a whole Gucci sweat set.
Trisha Paytas
It's Gucci. We all know Gucci is Gucci. I saw a podcast title with Jojo Siwa on it today. I think it was. Maybe it was Josh Pax. Did you see it? It was, like, six hours ago, and literally, the title was so wild. Actually, don't even want to say it. It was like, jojo Siwa, can't wait to unalive.
David Dobrik
What?
Trisha Paytas
It was the craziest title. And I went to the comments, see if anyone was like, hey, maybe don't make that the title. That's like, a weird manifestation. And no one did. Everyone's like, this is so great. We love this. I was like, that is. I hope they changed it, right?
David Dobrik
Judges Tywalk. Can't wait to B word.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Like, why would they put that. Like, I get. She probably made some joke. Like, you know, I can't wait to see people's reactions when this. Like, I get it. But, like, that's the title that was so wild. It kind of made me sad for a minute. I was kind of, like, this kind of, like, sad. I don't know. Why would they say she wants to. Also puts her on, like, alert. Like, people like, are you okay? I don't know. The whole thing was very odd. Is that Josh Pack?
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Josh Peck, which they're. Their podcast is called the Good Guys, which I have to think was, like, a branding choice after the David Dobrik, like, fallout, where they're like, hey, we're not them. We're, like, the good Guys. Which I don't know why Josh doesn't.
David Dobrik
Everyone Always say, like, if you have to say, you're the good guy.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. You're not.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You're just not. I don't know. It was weird. Poor JoJo. I love her. I'm. I'm manifesting 2025 is the year of JoJo Siwa.
David Dobrik
Okay.
Trisha Paytas
The. The. The arch. The arc. The golden arc. The golden arc of JoJo Siwa. I think she's gonna get her mind right. I think she's gonna come out with some.
David Dobrik
You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like.
David Dobrik
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Some revelations. Like, you know what, what I went through. What was this? And I apologize to the people I hurt by saying this. Like, I think it's gonna be the.
David Dobrik
Big, like, gorgeous rebrand of like. Yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Like Revelations in the Bible. Do you ever read that section?
David Dobrik
I missed that one actually. I probably did it because I went to Catholic school, so I'm sure I did.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, God, I can't remember one story in Revelations.
David Dobrik
I don't know if I can.
Trisha Paytas
Revelations 17:2. The path of the righteous man.
David Dobrik
I don't know another. I don't know if you cared about this scandal, but, like, the big one that I saw over the break to was the whole Honey, like, Honey, Honey, remember that?
Trisha Paytas
I didn't see Honey, Honey, this was.
David Dobrik
Like the biggest scandal for some reason. Remember Honey, the. They worked with everyone. The brand deals and it was like, you have the coupon codes, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
Trisha Paytas
Honey. Yeah.
David Dobrik
Shane Dawson didn't he named his dog after Honey because he worked with them?
Trisha Paytas
I think you're right because I think they sponsored like every single one of.
Moses Hacmon
Them at that time. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Always a red flag if they're sponsoring Shane Dawson videos. Just kidding.
David Dobrik
Well, they were doing everyone, right? They did Mr. B.
Trisha Paytas
Period. Sure they did. David Dobrik too. I'm sure there's a honeycode there. Okay.
David Dobrik
Honey, that was a big scandal everyone was talking about. Well, they basically got exposed. I mean, I'm gonna. It's very top line. Like my summary. There's obviously a lot of layers to it, but a creator on YouTube, Megalag, made like an expose about Honey, alleging that. That they not only replace creators affiliate codes with their own to pocket the money from like the affiliate sales, but then they also partnered with the companies to control which coupons were presented. So, like, they would work with the companies. I'll. I'll say Target. I'm just throwing out Target. So they would work with Target. Be like, okay, the only coupon that you'll show would be the 10%. Even if there's like a 20% off out there, only show the 10%, basically. So to. So they would work with the company to kind of rip off the consumer.
Trisha Paytas
But there was a 20 code someone could use. Yes, but they just, like, weren't advertising it. So they're like, okay.
David Dobrik
So they. Because Honey, the whole thing was like, you'll get the best coupon code, but then they're work. They're secretly allegedly working with the companies to not give them the best coupon code but say that it is. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, how did people find this out?
David Dobrik
He did this whole megalog, did this whole, like, expose. He, like, really went in. Because Honey's been around for years. Right. And no one really raised any red flags about it. So, yeah, they were working with. Allegedly working with the companies behind the scenes. And then also had the side effect of overriding affiliate links doled out by sponsors. So it would affect, like, say if you had, like, the Amazon storefront or whatever, like, and someone clicked on it, like, just having the Honey extension would allegedly. Like, they would replace, like, your affiliate with Honey. So Honey would be the one getting the referral instead of. Of. Instead of you.
Trisha Paytas
So. But are they, like, paying, like, I'm. Okay. I'm like Shane and my video sponsor. Is he just getting, like, cash? He's not getting, like, an affiliate like, every time someone uses his code.
David Dobrik
Yeah, well, like, it would override, just not even related to Honey. Say if you had like an Adam and Eve. Oh, oh, oh. It would like, it would overwrite your Trish code and do like, the Honey.
Trisha Paytas
How would they do that?
David Dobrik
Because it's like a Chrome extension.
Moses Hacmon
Because you actually download, like, your browser. Your browser page will.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I see. Because it's already on there. So when you get.
Moses Hacmon
That's why I never did that.
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
Moses Hacmon
I would never have somebody else's browser because they get all your information, all your history.
Trisha Paytas
I had a. I worked with a company. They were. I don't know. I don't know if they were scammy, but they were. It was something like every time you would shop it, like Victoria's Secret, you'd get like, cash back or something. And it was. It was always on my browser. And yeah, the weird stuff started happening. I was kind of like, it wasn't Honey, but it was something like that. I was like, it's kind of sketchy. I mean, that kind of makes sense, I guess. I don't know. That's. I mean, what can they. What can happen? They go to Jail.
David Dobrik
Well, the Legal Eagle, which is a big. It's a YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers, and he's an actual attorney. He's filing a class action lawsuit against Honey.
Trisha Paytas
Wait, why? So how does it scam? How does it affect the consumer?
David Dobrik
Because. Well, I think this class action lawsuit in particular is for creators who, like, worked with Honey or have had, like, affiliate codes that have been overwritten by Honey because then they lost the revenue and Honey, which is owned by PayPal, like, took it instead. So he is filing a class action lawsuit. Wow. Gosh. Against Honey and PayPal. And it gives creators and businesses that feel as if they've been wronged by Honey the ability to sue with the goal of giving everyone back the money that was allegedly stolen.
Trisha Paytas
Have I ever used Honey? Do I. Did I have a sponsor? I don't think so. That's crazy.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it is.
Trisha Paytas
Wow.
David Dobrik
It is crazy. It's.
Trisha Paytas
Especially if you're, like. With PayPal, it's like a big company. Why would you.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And then obviously, like, if you're ripping off, like, the creators, but then you're also ripping off, like, the consumers, and then there's also, like, if you're telling people you get the best deal and then you're not. There's like, that as well. So there's a lot. All these layers. I feel like this is the first layer out of a lot that's to come.
Trisha Paytas
2025 is your, like, lawsuits for people.
David Dobrik
I know.
Trisha Paytas
It is a lot of energy. I always feel for people. I don't care if you're, like, as rich as Blake Lively or this person, Legal Eagle, but it's just, like. It's just a lot. But I guess if you feel really wronged, I don't know, sometimes at the end of the day is, like, worth your time.
David Dobrik
Well, he is an attorney, so I feel like that's what he does.
Trisha Paytas
Isn't that crazy? What do you think about what attorneys do? Like, this is. Their lives are just constantly going to legal battle.
David Dobrik
I know. I don't know how. They're very strong mentally.
Trisha Paytas
That is. That's wild. They're the ones who know people are like, they have to defend someone who's guilty or something like that.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Wild. Like, how. What?
David Dobrik
How.
Trisha Paytas
How do you do that? Like, that's. How can I guess? They don't care. Maybe they have no hearts.
Moses Hacmon
Well, they're referred to as sharks. They smell the blood in the water and they show up when they just.
Trisha Paytas
I thought that. That's so weird. They refer to as sharks. Cuz I was Shark Tank. They. None of them are lawyers. Why do they refer to them as sharks?
Moses Hacmon
I think they just took the.
Trisha Paytas
They took the lawyers slang.
Moses Hacmon
But. But they're like, yeah, they smell the blood in the water. They don't care about the person or anything.
Trisha Paytas
They just know it's kind of mean to our sharks. The sharks don't really want to harm people at the end of the day, honestly, you know what I mean?
Moses Hacmon
The water, they'll show up.
Trisha Paytas
It's not their fault. You're in their house. If someone came in here dangling KFC fried chicken. You don't think I'm gonna eat that? I'm gonna chow down. You came into my house with it. I can eat it. Don't tell me I can't. Sharks are generally nice. Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes though, I think if like someone's injured. I've seen sharks like try to like rescue them, like by like circling them or whatever, you know what I mean?
Moses Hacmon
I think they're the dolphins. Oh, dolphin from the sharks.
Trisha Paytas
They're all related in the club world, fam. I don't know what that's from. Well, sharks aren't the evil creatures.
Moses Hacmon
Lawyers are okay.
Trisha Paytas
They're sharks, I guess.
David Dobrik
Although I will say the Legal Eagle wasn't familiar with this game. This is the first video of his I've seen. He's pretty hot, so being a hot lawyer YouTuber. Damn, that's a good combination.
Trisha Paytas
Great name too.
David Dobrik
Legal Eagle rhymes.
Trisha Paytas
Sounds like a masked singer mascot.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Like it?
David Dobrik
I do too. I would. Legal Eagle, if you want to come on down.
Trisha Paytas
I don't know.
David Dobrik
I would love to see.
Trisha Paytas
Honey, I don't know anything about you. Legal Eagle. I don't know anything about you.
David Dobrik
He's. He gives me like Hassan vibes. I don't know, he has that like authoritative, like hot. I don't know. I'm like, damn. Okay.
Moses Hacmon
It sounds like that's a show he would go to, honestly.
David Dobrik
Yeah, the Hassan show.
Moses Hacmon
They can talk about that for hours.
Trisha Paytas
What is his show called? Does he have an intro? Does he just get on stream and be like, hi guys?
David Dobrik
I think so. I don't know. I forget where I said it. If it was here or where or Patreon. But Jimmy being. I want everyone to know, like to clear my name. Jimmy is the real Hassan Stand, by the way. I love that I idea of this. I just don't know much about him besides like he's hot. I see the clips. I think he's kind of camp. Sometimes Jimmy's the one that really is sat for the stream. Yeah. So he knows, like, the look floor, but he, like, leaves me out to dry as if I'm the only one thirsting for a song. When Jimmy is the one, he's the wizard behind the curtain. It was like, maybe.
Moses Hacmon
Maybe Jimmy's just interested more in politics than.
Trisha Paytas
That's probably true. He's probably listening to him for educational purposes. I don't think he's showing his thighs on the stream. You know, you comment on his Instagram. Jimmy watches the streams. I think it's probably more educational purposes.
David Dobrik
I don't know. I'm a little skeptical.
Trisha Paytas
Well, Jimmy, I support 20, 25 year of legal Eagle. Oh, God, man. Too much happening with that, like, legal eagle. Doing. Doing a lot. But, you know, good for you. If you're a lawyer. Good for you. For. I do like a class action. I like the idea of it where, like, other people can join in.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I love when you.
Trisha Paytas
Because it's expensive.
David Dobrik
When you get the email, it's like, if you ever use this, you can join the class lawsuit. And I've seen people on Twitter, I need to start doing it more because I kind of ignore the email emails. But I've seen people get like a couple hundred dollars, even like a couple thousand dollars from these class actions.
Trisha Paytas
I got a couple hundred. I didn't even join. And it was like, if you were a Target employee between like 2005 to 2013 or something, I got like $100.
David Dobrik
Whoa.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I don't. I didn't even join it. They're like, here's your money. I was like, all right.
David Dobrik
That's crazy.
Trisha Paytas
I wonder how they include. They include everyone that was ever an employee.
David Dobrik
I think so. Because I keep saying one that was like, if you've used. If you've used Private Mode or something, Incognito Mode on Google Chrome, you can get money. If you ate a Cliff Bar, you can get money.
Trisha Paytas
What is a Cliff Bar? Oh, I have those. Those peanut butter ones. Yeah.
David Dobrik
Oh, you could have joined that class.
Trisha Paytas
Really? What happened?
David Dobrik
I think they just. I don't remember fully, so allegedly, I guess. But, like, they're just worse for you than they advertise. So they had to, like, settle for this class action lawsuit. So you can get. Honestly, I eat Cliff Bar. Or I used to eat Clif Bar, so I should do that too.
Trisha Paytas
I had a grilled cheese burrito before this podcast started. I ate it two minutes. Yeah. When that post meat that came at 11:10. Where's mine ate it. First of all, you don't. Do you like it? You don't like Taco Bell? You don't like Taco Bell. You're just saying that.
Moses Hacmon
Just wanted to eat something before the show.
Trisha Paytas
I was so hungry, and I was just like, okay, I got to eat it really quick.
Moses Hacmon
So I thought it was crumble. I thought you were doing your Monday crumble.
Trisha Paytas
I should have done that. I did feel guilty. I'm like, I probably one I didn't know was going to come so late. Like, it took, like, 30 minutes to get here. Otherwise, I probably would have ordered more for everyone. But I don't know if we all like to eat. I never want to force food. I always feel like I'm forcing you to eat Wendy's nuggets. And I'm like, maybe people don't want to eat fast food. Like, sounds like, let me just get this grilled cheese burrito and eat it. And it actually tastes so good, but I'm, like, tasting it in my mouth right now, and it's kind of tasting weird. I love it. You didn't love the grilled cheese burrito?
David Dobrik
No, it wasn't my favorite. I didn't hate it. I liked it. I liked it. Didn't love it. I think I just like a more crunch. Although mine had, like, the crunchies more towards the bottom. So maybe double the crunch.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, double the tortilla strips. Do you eat before?
David Dobrik
I had cereal. Yeah, I had cereal before.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I just. I didn't. I don't know. I feel like maybe we should figure out healthier options to eat during the podcast, because I always feel bad to order fast food, but for some reason, when we do the podcast, I just want fast food. Like, I just always want fast food. But none other. No other times do we order it. I don't know. It's just something about Mondays. Or it's like, I don't know, because we're in this room and it's like a long day. It's like a work day. You just want to come back with your. I had a Baja bus. I almost came in with the Baja bus, but I threw it out. I was like, let me just, like, hide the evidence, because I only had a few sips, and I was like, let me just put that there.
Moses Hacmon
We listen and we don't judge.
Trisha Paytas
Ah, that is a listening, don't judge one. Do you have a listening, don't judge?
David Dobrik
I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. Moses being like, I don't have anything.
David Dobrik
I'm like, I probably do I probably do.
Trisha Paytas
I don't even think it's a bad trend. Although some people I guess are some.
David Dobrik
Some people have crazy. It's like we kind of have to judge, you know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
Like there is some crazy ones where he's like, I heard the baby screaming and I pretended to sleep. What?
David Dobrik
You.
Trisha Paytas
You heard it? You still didn't go to your baby? Like that's wild. Some people need to not share their entire life on the Internet. But mine's not too bad. Mine's always the food. If we did that, me, mine would just be like, I got french fries on the way home. That's always me. I got a job with juice before my nail appointment. You know, like I don't know. I just love. God. That was good though, girl. She's burrito's good. And I ate it in full outfit too. I was just like, okay. Cuz it was supposed to come earlier and it just didn't come on time. That's why I was a little late. I did say we were starting late, but then it was another 15 minutes. Was like, God damn it. Next time, next time I'll be on time.
David Dobrik
Well, it just gave me more time to like catch up on notes and stuff too.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, that's good. I didn't know doing my merch shoot and then head shot shoot and then just, you know, too many, too many photos. Did you eat a lot over the break? We ate a lot.
David Dobrik
We had a lot of basket robins.
Trisha Paytas
Talked about this. Did you? What were your sweets?
David Dobrik
Tres leches, Flan.
Trisha Paytas
Ooh.
Moses Hacmon
The whole thing you brought us.
David Dobrik
Oh, did you like it?
Moses Hacmon
Everything. Everything.
Trisha Paytas
So good.
Moses Hacmon
I think it's the flan I love.
David Dobrik
Oh my God, that was so good.
Moses Hacmon
Every day I had one, like I savored them. Every day I had one.
David Dobrik
So good.
Trisha Paytas
Those are amazing. We split them with my mom too. Cuz she loves those portal balls you got. Those were. Those are actually like amazing.
David Dobrik
I figured that was the best gift I could provide.
Trisha Paytas
We ate it for days. We really did. We were just on such a sweet kit. Cuz we did bats and robins like at least three nights in a row. I was just like so obsessed with.
David Dobrik
That's what the holidays are for.
Trisha Paytas
That's how I feel. But I want to get it again. The rainbow sh. It sounds so good right now. I was like, that sounds so amazing. I just love. But you look so good. I saw he's like, oh, you look so good. You're like, oh, I've been eating.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I really have. I Was eating. Eating. Because too. It was like, with everyone being sad, I was like, oh, food.
Trisha Paytas
Food is a ticket.
David Dobrik
You know, food gives everyone a little pick me up.
Trisha Paytas
It does. And when you don't have to work, like, we weren't doing the podcast. I was like, who do. I don't fit in anything. You know, I was just like, whatever. And it's just. It just really is. I think Jennifer Coolidge at the Golden Globe, she had a statement. They're like, what's the best thing about being an actress in 2025? And she goes, just getting to eat whatever you want. And I like, love that so much. It's so true. Just eat and be body positive. Maybe reindeer one.
David Dobrik
I was ironic because the Golden Globes, I think one of the sponsors was like, a weight loss medication.
Trisha Paytas
Well, we all love robot get it.
Moses Hacmon
They know the target, the substance.
Trisha Paytas
So funny. Was there. Oh, there was a nose Epic joke. Wasn't there?
David Dobrik
It was Nikki and Kathy Bates was at the golden globe shoot. Lost 100 pounds. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I want to do the robot E. Lose 100 pounds. And then everyone will be so shook. Everyone's so shook over time.
David Dobrik
He just show up at the Wicked for good premiere.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Done, done, done. Ordering it today. Go to robotic or it's row. I think Jimmy put the title in there. Did she look so good? Did she do it that we don't know if she did it?
David Dobrik
I don't know. But, yeah, regardless, she looked great.
Trisha Paytas
We were saying, I mean, in the year 2024 and 2025, if someone was big their entire life, and all of a sudden it's skinny. If it's me, you know, like, there's just not even a thing. Like, could you imagine I lose £100 this year? I'm like, I just ate. Well, I just worked out, y'all. Like, that's so crazy. Like, that's so crazy. And people who. I like people who are honest. Whoopi Goldberg, Kylie Clarkson. Okay, like, people who are honest, but it's like these people who are just like.
David Dobrik
Because also, I feel like that contributes to the stigma of it having to be, like, a forbidden thing. But it's accessible if you can afford it. There's no, like, it's been. There's no, you know, harmful effects. It's not like when there was, like, the short Ozempic proper shortage, and it was affecting, you know, diabetics and stuff. Stuff. Like, there's these ones that are formulated just for weight loss, so it's not affecting anyone who's diabetic. It's not ruining their lives or people who need it medically.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
What's the harm, really?
Trisha Paytas
You know, like. And why. Why are people being so shy? Talk about it. It's like, you were fat, now you're not. Like, be honest. You know what I mean?
David Dobrik
And it doesn't take away the work. I feel like that's the big thing is if maybe people feel like it takes away the work that they put into it. It doesn't. Like, all because you have the medication. Like, people are still, like, having to monitor their diets. They're still having to work out. Like, it's just something that helps. It doesn't sound like an automatic shortcut. Like, you take it and then you're hot the next day. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
It seems like that was a lot of.
David Dobrik
I know there is. Like, that was. I feel like. Oh, Demi Moore was asking people. She was, like, flipping it on Interview. She was asking people, like, would you take the substance? I think I would. I don't know. I don't know the. The down part of it, though. I just know you get hot, right?
Trisha Paytas
I don't know that either. Like, you switch a week on, week off with your hot self. Are you feeling the hot body? Is that you? Like, I'm in the hot body, or are you.
David Dobrik
I do see that one, like, meme where she's. She's, like, looking ugly, and she's like, yeah, like, stirring the pot. And then Margaret Quality's looking hot on, like, the Tonight show, and she's like, right.
Trisha Paytas
So that's why I'm confused.
David Dobrik
Are you, like, miserable?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Are you the old person being miserable watching the hot person, or are you the hot person, too?
David Dobrik
Maybe we should. I don't know. I really want to. Maybe I should just watch a video explaining it so I know what's going on. But I think I would take it because.
Trisha Paytas
Would you? No. I'll take row, but I don't know if I want to take the substance. Sounds scary.
David Dobrik
I do see, they mutate at some point or something, I think.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I saw the one with, like, the boobs all saggy and crusty, and I'm like, I don't know about all that.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I don't know, but I feel like someone could sell it to me pretty quickly, I think, like, yeah, if someone was like, you'd be really hot. I'd be like, okay.
Trisha Paytas
Would you take a potion to be really hot? But you could never die. You say the age you are now.
David Dobrik
Dang, that is hard.
Moses Hacmon
But you can be your hottest Version forever. That's hot.
David Dobrik
Forever. Like, oh, you and the Trish talk as a vampire.
Trisha Paytas
That was a good one. Check it out. Episode five, Trish Talks.
David Dobrik
The Twilight theme. That's a good question. I don't know, because it basically would be like. Like Edward Cullen, right? I don't think so. I think I would. I don't think I'd want to live forever. Yeah. And just be hot. I don't know. I feel like I would get bored after a while. I mean, I guess I'd have to find my Bella at some point or like. And was there a gay vampire in Twilight? No.
Trisha Paytas
I'm sure there was. I'm sure there was gay vampire somewhere in there, right?
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Well, death becomes her. I think the girl. Best friend. Friends just stay together forever because they both take the potion. So they're just together.
David Dobrik
That's kind of cute. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. And then they try to make the husband take the potion because he's a plastic surgeon. Because your face starts peeling off and stuff. So then you have to get a plastic surgeon to like fix you and stuff like that. So they try to give it to the guy, they try to kill him so he could take the potion forever. But I don't think he did. I don't know. I saw the musical. I didn't see the show, but something I think that's the plot of Death Becomes her is like, you never can die, but you're always hot.
David Dobrik
That's a hard trade off because I don't know if I'd also want to live forever because I'm like. I feel like I get that.
Trisha Paytas
No.
David Dobrik
Just tired and over everything. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Like I. There is something like later way on in life, just like peacefully, just.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Once you've lived a full life.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah. It's. What's the song? Is it I Don't Want to Live Forever? Is it I Want to Live forever?
David Dobrik
I Don't Want to live. That's the Taylor Swift song I Don't Want to Live.
Trisha Paytas
It's a bunch of song.
David Dobrik
Oh, which one? I Don't Want to Live Forever. It's Taylor Swift and Zayn. The song for 50 Shades of Gray or 50 Shades Darker.
Trisha Paytas
I feel this in the 50 Shades of Gray.
David Dobrik
No, this has a song.
Trisha Paytas
She does.
David Dobrik
She has a song for the movie.
Trisha Paytas
That'S like not on brand for her. That's so weird. Okay, and when is it go? Say it 1. Sing one more time.
David Dobrik
I don't Want to live forever.
Trisha Paytas
Doesn't that sound like a Bon Jovi song?
David Dobrik
Until you Come back home. Taylor Swift and Zayn.
Trisha Paytas
What? There's one that's like, I want to live forever is I don't want to live or I want to live. I don't want to live forever. None of me. And then I'm a crowd love.
David Dobrik
It's my.
Trisha Paytas
Thank you. I was like, oh, my God. You don't know.
David Dobrik
I was like, wait, I'm not the Glee version.
Trisha Paytas
I'm dead. The Glee version always eats. I'm not gonna lie. I'm sure they did a better job than Bon Jovi, for sure.
David Dobrik
Wait, is that the right lyrics?
Trisha Paytas
I don't wanna. It's either I want to live forever or I don't want to live forever. See, he doesn't want to live forever.
David Dobrik
Nobody wants, oh, I ain't gonna live forever.
Trisha Paytas
But Taylor Swift says, I don't want to live forever.
David Dobrik
I don't want to live forever.
Trisha Paytas
Why does she want to live forever?
Moses Hacmon
She is right now a vampire.
Trisha Paytas
She does look good. I mean, she does look like she's 18. It is actually wild. I love you, Taylor Swift. Please don't sue me over my tour poster.
David Dobrik
She doesn't want to live forever because. Oh, because they're not together or something. I don't know. I know I'll be living in vain until you come back home. Yeah. So she doesn't want to live without zero Zayn in the song.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, okay. All right. I like it. See? Nobody wants to live forever. I don't think so. I. I wouldn't. But do you want to live forever? No.
Moses Hacmon
No, No.
Trisha Paytas
I guess if our whole family was like. If we're all vampires, like the Collins.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Moses Hacmon
But even. Yeah, that's the thing. You don't want to see your kids pass before you see.
Trisha Paytas
Well, I guess they are not real family, though, right?
David Dobrik
No, they're like chosen family.
Trisha Paytas
Like, we all got stuck as a vampire, so I guess we'll all be together. That is crazy.
Moses Hacmon
There's some crazy billionaires that are trying to hack, you know, and they want to. They want to live forever because they're like, oh, look at me. I'm so lucky.
Trisha Paytas
But it's not natural.
Moses Hacmon
It's awful.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, well, you never live forever. You don't know. Maybe it's great.
Moses Hacmon
No, the idea of never. Because you need change. You need generations to come and go so there'll be change.
Trisha Paytas
I like getting older. I used to not, but I kind of like it because there is just so much that comes with age. Just like caring less and. Yeah, it's kind of Nice wisdom. I can't wait to be 40 after my robot, get my implants, get my Wendy Williams talk show. Boom. We talk about this. I think after like 40 or 50, Wendy Williams just became really unhinged and, like, didn't care and just said whatever she wanted. I can't wait to go back to that and not be problematic. Not that way, but just kind of like sharing my real thoughts without like worrying about being canceled. You know what I mean? And again, not being problematic, but just like, because there's sometimes I hold back where I kind of like, I don't want to piss people off, you know, and I don't want to piss anyone off, but sometimes I wish I could say a little more.
Moses Hacmon
Yeah, you know, it's different when you have a whole network behind you.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, exactly. I guess you could get canceled, but if you have that 10 year contract, cancel me.
David Dobrik
You still got to pay me, you.
Trisha Paytas
Know what I mean? So get that contract first. Because I would go off and it's mostly on people like Mr. Beast and David Dope. I would go a little harder, you know. Now I'm like, well, I don't know, they got a lot of money, so let me just chill. But yeah, once I have once that wear shows on Amazon, maybe we'll be on Amazon. Maybe they'll pick us up for 100 million games. Yes, that's great. I think that's better.
Moses Hacmon
It would help tremendously how long RuPaul can keep going. Like, at some point you need something different.
Trisha Paytas
Well, RuPaul's gonna go forever. She's. She's gonna live forever. Rua is kind of everything. I was thinking how remarkable like her story is too, because, because, like seeing her in the two Wong Fu, even in like the Brady Bunch movie, all those movies she did and stuff like that, it is crazy to see. Like, I would say maybe I'm wrong, but I would say the rise of RuPaul became came with Drag Race. Right? Isn't that where.
David Dobrik
Yeah, definitely.
Trisha Paytas
So it is kind of cool because.
David Dobrik
She was a different mainstream, really mainstream.
Trisha Paytas
And I think drag queens in general, because again, I wasn't even familiar with like the drag scene that much. I know it was on for a long time, but I really do think Drag Race makes it so much more mainstream.
David Dobrik
And I mean, like, even the contestants on the show, like, they're all so young and they like, they're first knowledge of drag was a lot of them from Drag Race. So.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, and that's cool. I like that. And that's cool. That like, Ru at like, I don't know, probably 50 or something. Got the 60. I don't know how old she is, but, like, got that break at that age, which is, like, pretty cool. Not a break. I know she's always been popular, but mainstream success. I'm still holding out. Like I said, I'm going to be Hacks era. I love the Hacks one. I was so excited for them. They really are the best. That's my favorite show. I can't wait for that to return. Traders is returning soon, which looks horrible. Honestly, that cast, it looks terrible.
David Dobrik
Like, no, I love half of them. I love. I forgot.
Trisha Paytas
Who else do we love?
David Dobrik
I love a lot of the big brother people. I don't know.
Moses Hacmon
I feel like you need that. You need some people you don't like.
David Dobrik
That's true.
Moses Hacmon
You need this certain tension. Like, because if you like everyone, you would be.
Trisha Paytas
No, there's, like, good villains and, like, bad. Like, like, there's people on that show. Like, Samoskari is, like, right.
Moses Hacmon
Once you feel good when the team, they all.
Trisha Paytas
He's getting fame and he's getting attention from this and it's like, like, who's the one? Dan from the trade, you know, like, yeah, it was great when he got out or whatever because you were, like, rooting again. But it's like, like, who's the other one? Who's Tom?
David Dobrik
Tom from Vanner Pump Rules.
Trisha Paytas
Don't know anything about him, but he sounds awful. And it's like, you're getting rewarded for being this cheater. And he's like, I'm this villain. I'm like, no, you're just, like, on tv. Like, I don't like that point.
David Dobrik
There's a difference between, like, you know, a good, like, campy villain. Like a TV villain. Yeah, yeah. Because even, like, last season on the Traitors, like you said, Dan even, like, Parvati was considered a Survivor villain, but she's like camp. Like, she's just cutthroat. A cutthroat competitor versus just like a bad person.
Trisha Paytas
Other lady. That was the trader at the very end. I forget her name. She was on the first season. She's from, like, a boat show.
David Dobrik
Oh, I forgot her name, too. She was also a little villainy Kate, I think.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, yeah. What a name. Kate Moses's name for a baby.
David Dobrik
Baby Kate, literally.
Trisha Paytas
What, like, what would you want to name your babies? I got, like, the name Kate. I was like, really?
Moses Hacmon
I said, I used to. I thought that would be a name.
Trisha Paytas
That'S wild because it's just I cannot.
David Dobrik
Imagine you giving birth to a kid.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God, we have another baby. It's Kate, It's Matt. Barbie.
David Dobrik
Very subversive though.
Trisha Paytas
And that would be big Princess, Princess of Wales.
David Dobrik
It would be so subversive that you have like Barbie, Elvis, Kate.
Trisha Paytas
Kate.
Moses Hacmon
You know, depends what the middle name. What if it's Bush?
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God. She loves Kate Bush.
Moses Hacmon
You see?
Trisha Paytas
All right, that's so funny. I don't know, I'm not looking forward to it. But who was it? I think it was Tom that was like dressed. He's like, oh, this is inspired by Alan Coming. I'm like, that's so blast. Like, that's it just gives me an it because like Alan Coming is such an icon in so many ways. And then for someone like Tom Sandoval who's just like scum, like, I know nothing about him, just everything I see on TikTok, he's just so scummy and like people are like praising him for it. I'm just like. And to be in the same category as like Alan Cummings, like wearing a kilt because he's like wearing plaid or whatever. And I was just like, I don't like that. And the fact that he's like referencing sensing that that was like his idol, I was like, no, stop it.
David Dobrik
I'm going into the season three of the trailers open minded. But if they like I love Bob so much and I love Brittany Haynes from Big Brother and Danielle Reyes from Big Brother. So if, like my favorites are done wrong early on, I'll have trouble, you know, because I love the half I love, I love a lot and the half I dislike, I dislike. So it depends how it shakes up, I think.
Trisha Paytas
Who are you rooting for?
David Dobrik
Your number one, definitely Bob. I love Bob. I think Bob's like one of the funniest people, one of the most talented drag queens and very competitive too. And like a great talker. Like Bob literally like debates people on TikTok Live, but does like serious debates like that. Very good talker. So I'm excited to see Bob in this, like, competitive environment. I hope he, I hope Bob is a traitor. Like, that would be kind of cool.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, he'd be a really good one. You know, in front of me, a little shopping Horace in December was Peppermint. She was right in front of me.
David Dobrik
I love Peppermint.
Trisha Paytas
I was so sad. I really want to be like, I loved you from the Trace. Maybe that has like a bad memory or something.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah, she was done wrong in that show last.
Trisha Paytas
She was Done wrong. But she was so good in it. And I was like, it really actually introduced me to her and I actually became a fan. So I was like, I love her. I'm rooting for Zack Efron's brother.
David Dobrik
Oh, I forgot Dylan Efron's on this season.
Trisha Paytas
Like, what's he gonna do? But I don't know, I feel like.
David Dobrik
He'Ll be one that like barely talks or something. I don't know. Like, does he have a big personality?
Trisha Paytas
I've never seen him, but I like that he'll just like slide by, you know what I mean?
David Dobrik
I would want to be his friend. I'm like, oh, you know Zac Efron?
Trisha Paytas
Absolutely. I mean, is about probably Frankie Grande. Remember on Big Brother, I didn't watch it, but he was just like, everyone, I'm Ariana Grande's brother. Immediately be like, we're not voting you out. Let's be friends. You know what I mean? Like, that was such a move. For sure. I'm here for it.
David Dobrik
Oh, speaking of Ariana, this was. I've seen this a lot, this whole theory about Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Jimmy also. It's a Jimmy topic and we love a Jimmy topic.
Trisha Paytas
Jimmy hot topic.
David Dobrik
So I'll play this. I'll have Jimmy inserted in, but I'll play. Play this TikTok for you and then we'll react after. It's. There's basically. Obviously people have really shipped Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked, but I think because Cynthia and Ariana are so close in real life, people have now started shipping them as a real life couple despite the fact that they are both in relationships. Yeah. And there's been this whole theory that Cynthia's partner, Lena Waithe.
Trisha Paytas
I saw that at the Golden Globes looking upset.
David Dobrik
So we'll react to this too. Tick tock from Nay baby, who broke down the times table of what's going on with Lena, Cynthia and Ariana. I'll play her for you. Jimmy can just insert it. So I feel like she'll explain it better than I can. So good.
D
It's got the other person's partner worried. So apparently, according to the grapevine, the grapevine being the Internet, Lena Waithe, who is Cynthia Revo's partner, has been making some kind of cryptic post. So this is her story. And here it's a screenshot of the actors on actors episode that Ariana had with Palme skull. And it's I'm watching you guys in the press tour. And then she goes insufferable yes. So her posting that. Very interesting. Then she posted this on her story. I don't really know what the intent here was, but interesting. Then there was this picture that I think Ariana posted on her story of her and Cynthia hugging. Hugging, she calls her proud sister at Cynthia Revo. I love you so much. And then fans went and dug up an old picture of Cynthia Rivo and her now partner, Lena. I kid you not. Cynthia Rivo says, I finally found my sis. Lena, you're absolutely everything. Your perfection. Yada, yada, yada. And there's this post which was on Lena's story. Maturity in a relationship is when you catch your mind as it is creating a false story about your partner, which is based on inner tension that yada, yada, yada, was whatever. Now I could see where the concern would come from because at the end of the day, all of them are cheating. Ariana, Cynthia, Lena, all of them. So it makes sense for Lena to be worried. It started with Lena being called sister by Cynthia Raybone, and now we see Ariana calling her sister. So in Lena's head, one plus one equals two. Oh, my God. This is definitely an item. While I personally don't think anything's going on between them in that way, it's funny to see her triple about because I would, too.
Trisha Paytas
I would do. I would do. That's a good post, actually. I. I would do. I would totally do, like, again, even if it is like, no, it's too much. It's. I would do. Because, you know, they are very. And I get it. I get it's like emotional. You're very connected. But it's like a lot. Like, there's so many times where they just have moments and it's a lot. And I would be a little jealous, like, even if there's nothing going on, like, why wouldn't you be a little jealous? Just like them just having those moments and the laughs and the giggles and the holding of the finger and all that stuff. You know what I mean? I would. I would be jealous, too. I would be like, how would you not be? You know what I mean? Especially, I don't know, the cheating thing about Cynthia and Lena. I have no idea about that. But. But just in general, in Hollywood, there's a lot of. On. On. What do you mean? You meet on movie and then you become romantic. Showmance.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That turns into real romance. So I could see it. I could see it.
David Dobrik
You know, I wouldn't think anything of it because I'm like. At first, like, Because I Feel like it happens a lot where the characters are shipped so much. And then I feel like Ariana did. She's talked a lot about, like, oh, maybe Glinda's queer. Like, maybe she really loves Alphabet. And then, like, people have really started shipping the characters so much and then again, seeing how close they are. They have, like, matching tattoos and everything. Yeah. Ariana has an E for Alphabet and Cynthia has a G for Glinda.
Trisha Paytas
Absolutely not. I'd be like, get your finger off my.
David Dobrik
But it's also, like, Grande and Erivo, like, their last names.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, my God, that's too much. I think that's too much.
David Dobrik
But they have a lot of matching tattoos. They have, like, those on the back of their legs. They have matching poppies.
Trisha Paytas
What?
David Dobrik
They have one on their finger and one on their. One on their finger and one here and then one on their finger or something like that. They have a whole set of matching tattoos. I feel like.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I don't think there's anything wrong with the closeness of their friendship, for sure. However, I would also. I would be the Lena in this, for sure. Cryptic tweeting. Is that because it's like, that is wild. For sure. I'd be like, wait, you called her assistant? Now I'm sis?
David Dobrik
And that you're already love sharing a little quote on your Instagram stories.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I mean, the fact that she's even sharing it, you know, she's even more bothered because it's like, you have to be so bothered to, like, share. Like, there's something. I'm like, okay, sometimes I want a Cryptic, but I'm like, no, people, like, read into it. Whatever, whatever, whatever. And. But that's like, you want people to know. You want your partner to know. You want the partner's best friend to know. Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with their relationship, but I do. I would be Lena for sure. I would feel a little bit slighted, a little intimidated, maybe even too. Do you know what I mean?
David Dobrik
Like, oh, my God.
Trisha Paytas
That was her little shield for the whole thing.
David Dobrik
It is so. I don't know. I never, like, again. Never thought about it. But then I've seen this more and more, like, the shipping of Ariel, Ariana and Cynthia individually. I don't. Their friendship in, like, sisterhood is so cute. And yeah, I guess some people have said, like, I think Ariana has been straight, but then some of her, like, the Arianators say that she had, like, she has been queer or something. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
Interesting. But sometimes you don't know until you meet the person. True.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Honestly, I feel like that happens like a lot sometimes you like a person you fall in love with.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
She gives me more pan vibes.
David Dobrik
I think. Yeah. Like Lena doing all that, like, all the posts. Like there's. There's somewhere. I feel like you could see him and be like. Like people are looking too much into him. These are so specific.
Trisha Paytas
Like.
David Dobrik
Yeah, if you're creating scenarios about your partner and your. Like, that's so specific.
Trisha Paytas
That one is real. That one's so real. The mean thing is crazy. So the. The inseparable. Yes. Is that what she actually said in the interview?
David Dobrik
Yeah. Like, she cut off Alice. Like, Paul Mesco's like, oh, I saw. I've been watching. You guys have been on the press tour. She's like, insufferable. Yes. Like, she's interrupted as like a joke, you know?
Trisha Paytas
But what is it? I love it. I just. I'm always like, I was asking Oscar, the day, I was like, why are they still on a pressure? Like, they don't even press her till they win the Oscar. And I was like, oh, come on. Just. I would love both of them on here or one or both. I'll take either.
David Dobrik
Yeah, any.
Trisha Paytas
Anybody.
David Dobrik
I'll take Baby Nestarose.
Trisha Paytas
I love baby, but she's the hardest. Get out. Because she is everywhere. She's the girl. She's on the red carpet. She is so cute. She was the star. She was the breakout star for sure of that movie. I love her. I would take her. Yeah. Come on here, baby. Not so much.
David Dobrik
Yeah, but they. Because they do a lot of press. I mean, and they're so impassioned too. Like, I feel like they don't give a bad interview because they like, love what they do so much. But it is wild because, I mean, I. They will have to take a break after the Oscars because I think they. It's that cycle of you want to be missed, right?
Trisha Paytas
Yes.
David Dobrik
And then they know they have such a big press story for Wicked for good.
Trisha Paytas
They should just never stop. They should just go all the way through.
David Dobrik
Just love. Because I love every interview. Like, I think is fun.
Trisha Paytas
Makes me happy. I know it doesn't make me happy. They always seem excited.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Joy and all that stuff. I like it. I think I. I think the book won the Oscar. I still feel it because I think Golden Globes, we just see that they give it to the person that, like, won't win the Oscar. In the past, we've seen that.
David Dobrik
You know what I mean, yeah, I. I'm so. I think everyone's saying that, like, out of. Out of everything, that probably Ariana has the best chance because supporting is a little bit like, out of the supporting nomination, she probably has the best chance because the leading actress would probably be the most competitive. But I'm still rooting for them. If not this one. I mean, the good news is there's another movie coming out and they'll have a whole other chance. Maybe people are waiting for good. Yeah, I'm.
Trisha Paytas
See that. Best song.
David Dobrik
I mean, shoe in for best song.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, you would think. But, you know, Lin Manuel's been snubbed so many times for, like, what was it? It was Encanto. But there was another big one he had. Oh, Moana.
David Dobrik
Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
He didn't win for that either.
David Dobrik
He didn't win for that?
Trisha Paytas
No.
David Dobrik
That is crazy.
Trisha Paytas
Isn't that crazy? I was like, that's why you see. Challengers won for best original score. I was so excited.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah, you were excited. Shout out Trent Rer.
Trisha Paytas
The music is so good in that.
David Dobrik
It is really good. After I saw Challengers, like, I listened to that soundtrack to work out. I was like, well, not.
Trisha Paytas
I listen to my car getting Taco Bell it. That was like, the best part of the movie because there was, you know, there was so little going on. The music was like, just get you so excited.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And like, I don't even like tennis like that, but I felt like in it because of that soundtrack.
Trisha Paytas
And Trent Reznor. Don't know him like that either, but was into this song, and I was very excited. I love that it won best original score. Makes me happy. Challengers. I love the Challengers. Got nominated for stuff.
David Dobrik
I know. And it came out so long ago too. Right. It was the beginning of the year. Oh, was it April?
Trisha Paytas
Well, I saw it in April. Maybe it came up before maybe March or something. Yeah, I saw Pretty because they're still in theater, so I saw Pretty.
David Dobrik
Maybe late Mars.
Trisha Paytas
You, like, downplayed it. You, like, saw it. Like, oh, it's good. And I was like, saw it. I was like, this is the best movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
David Dobrik
Like, I don't. I get more into, like, the silly movies like. Like the Jennifer Lawrence, no hard Feelings.
Trisha Paytas
Like, was that last year?
David Dobrik
That was two years ago.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. I said I used to love it.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I'm trying to think of, like, another unserious movie that I love lately. What did I see that I like? I really love movie.
Trisha Paytas
I'm trying to think if we seen too. Wong Fu. Thanks for everything. I don't know. I love watching old movies. Silly movie. I don't know if you've seen any. Like there haven't been silly movies in theaters.
David Dobrik
I saw it was. I mean it was about a terrible plot, I think, but it was like Netflix. And so it was kind of unserious. It was like so like, you know, it was kind of camp because it was so like unbelievable.
Trisha Paytas
A movie about terrorism was.
David Dobrik
It was like on a Christmas, Christmas Eve movie. I forget what it was called, but it was like the number one movie on Netflix. I was like, what is this about? And he was like a TSA agent who was like getting blackmailed. Oh, by terror.
Trisha Paytas
Okay.
David Dobrik
I mean on Christmas Eve it wasn't.
Trisha Paytas
You saw it?
David Dobrik
Yeah, it was big. It was all over Netflix.
Trisha Paytas
Weren't you a TSA agent kind of parallel to that? Yeah, he worked at the airport.
David Dobrik
That's a hard job. I don't especially seeing this guy cuz he was trying to get a. A promotion. They made him be like the little machine. Everyone's yelling at you on Christmas Eve. I was like, damn, that seems like a hard job.
Trisha Paytas
My mom worked at the airport too for a couple years. And even now, Alex, it's worse cuz you don't even get to park at the airport. You have to like park.
David Dobrik
Yeah, too much.
Trisha Paytas
She had to go at like 3am I was crazy. But shout out to LAX.
David Dobrik
Shout out airports.
Trisha Paytas
Shout out airports. Keeping people safe for the most part. It's good. TSA people are good. Honestly. People need to be nicer to them. They're just doing their.
David Dobrik
That's a hard job job.
Trisha Paytas
You know, everyone's cranky at an airport.
David Dobrik
Everyone's so cranky and like stressed out.
Trisha Paytas
But not me. Last time I traveled. Well, I haven't traveled in like years. But then the first time I traveled was like New York in December. I kind of lived for it. I love like getting chips, I love getting magazines. I love just like sitting Panda Express.
David Dobrik
Is open at like 8:00am Wait, really? Yeah. When I went to Hawaii, I had Panda Express for like breakfast.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, in the international you said, right?
David Dobrik
Oh yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That is a good, good one. I think I ate there once when we went to the Maldives. I think I had the Panda Express before we went.
Moses Hacmon
We got you rice.
Trisha Paytas
Rice. So good. There used to be a pf. Well, you said it's open, but the PF Changs wasn't open when I went there.
David Dobrik
The one at the top. I swear it was open. Maybe I misremembered, though, but.
Trisha Paytas
But also, maybe I just wasn't open.
David Dobrik
When I was there.
Trisha Paytas
Because I loved that PF Chang. I was like, oh, PF Chang's at the airport. My favorite. When are we gonna do our Maggiano's Patreon?
David Dobrik
Oh, we do have to do that. That's special eating at Maggiano's.
Trisha Paytas
And we only. They. Let's bring the lights. We're like, hopefully they let us bring.
David Dobrik
Them because it is dark in there. It's candle lit.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Yeah, it's a lot funny, though. I do love our eating videos. They're so fun. They're so good. All the Devil Amongst Us came out over a break. I think people saw that. Everyone's taking a break, and they're like, this is our time to sneak back in. We have Casey, first of all, which one. Who is. Who is the real double amongst us? Casey Neistat. Cody ko, Justin Baldoni.
David Dobrik
That's hard to choose. That is really hard to do.
Trisha Paytas
Can I say we. We're still watching doing the Virgin because we haven't finished it yet. We're like, on episode, like, season five. It does give you a different perspective Watching show now. Kind of like everything he does, because I used to love his character Raphael on the show, and I'm kind of like, he's giving me the ick. I don't like this. You know what I mean? It does change your perspective on someone when you hear something. I'm not saying I'm picking sides. There's too much to go through. But it is. It is weird how, like, that happens.
David Dobrik
Yeah. It was crazy because that came out. The New York Times article came out from, like, Blake Lively, I guess. Perspective was on December 21, and I was gagged because guess who was the only person working King Entertainment Tonight on December 21st at 6am you're in the.
Trisha Paytas
Office at 6am I was working from home.
David Dobrik
It was a Saturday. I'm literally like. It's like me and one other person who are, like, on the clock, basically. And I woke up to that, and I was like, girl, what am I gonna. I didn't put my journalism boots on. I was going through all, like, the legal documents that were in this. It was like 87 pages or something. I was like, okay, first, I am a journalist. Yes. But also my journalism is like, asking Pedro Pascal, are you a daddy? You know what I mean? Like, like, I. I have, like, a foundational knowledge of, like, you know, the intense, like, legal stuff. Yes. But my Journalism. Me personally, my beats are different. You know, it's like Taylor Swift, like, let's talk about how much you slit. You know, it's like, yeah, this one.
Trisha Paytas
Is just like, a lot. Who, like, who's asking these questions? You know what I mean? Like to Blake Lively. Because it's like, what do you even ask? Where do you start?
David Dobrik
Like, I know. So the journalist who did the whole article on the Times, like, I. I feel for. Because that is hard to.
Trisha Paytas
Well, they're getting sued.
David Dobrik
They are getting sued by just. Yeah, but oh, my gosh.
Trisha Paytas
So you feel for them, the author of the article.
David Dobrik
Because it is a lot to. When you're writing an article like this that's very, like, elite, like, intense with, like, the documents and stuff. Like, it is hard. There's so many avenues you have to go through. It has to get checked by so many different people before it's published. It is a big deal.
Trisha Paytas
But don't you think, like, journalism 101. I know nothing about journalism. Isn't it, like, get both sides of the story?
David Dobrik
Yeah, well, you have to at least have reached out. And so that's the thing. There's like, obviously very controversial, contrasting views. Like the Times I said that they did and that they gave them Justin Baldoni's time and then time enough time to respond and that they gave him like, a very generic response. And then obviously Justin Baldoni's side is saying that's not the case. So it's hard to sort through. Even so, with all the sides, I think it's hard to sort through. I feel like more stuff will come out as it continues, you know.
Trisha Paytas
So Blake Lively falls. Her first lawsuit was not against Justin Baldoni.
David Dobrik
It was. Her first thing was a complaint. It was a complaint and it was against Justin Baldoni through Wayfair Studios. Yeah, it was.
Trisha Paytas
So she wasn't suing. Is it Sony Universal? Like, who's the big one?
David Dobrik
It was. The movie was produced by Sony.
Trisha Paytas
So she did not go sue them.
David Dobrik
It was for Justin Baldoni, another one of the producers. And then Wayfair Studios, which is Justin Baldoni's production company. And then like the publicists that Justin Baldoni worked with for the alleged, like, smear campaign. I'll. I'll list the. Some of the major notes from it. Like, quickly. So Blake Suit made a series of allegations against Justin and his producer Jamie Heath on It Ends with Us, including claims that Justin attempted to destroy Blake's reputation with a social manipulation campaign scene and that his alleged behavior caused Blake severe emotional distress. The suit alleged that the claims were addressed multiple times while filming was underway during a meeting with a lot of people that worked on the film, including Ryan Reynolds. During the meeting, Blake allegedly requested that Justin not discuss her body or weight, stop discussing sexual conquest on set, and stop adding sex scenes to the script, among other claims. And Blake also claimed that both Justin and Jamie had entered her trailer uninvited multiple times, times while she was undressed and or breastfeeding, and that Justin had allegedly improvised unwanted kissing as they filmed. And then Justin's lawyer, Briden Freedman, described the allegations as categorically false. And now Justin and several other plaintiffs, including his publicist Melissa Nathan and Jennifer abel, filed a $250 million lawsuit against the New York Times for relying, quote, unquote, almost entirely on Blake's un. Quote, unquote, unverified itself during narrative and omitting evidence from the article. And Justin is his camp are suing for libel, false light, invasion of privacy, promissory fraud, and breach of implied, in fact, contract with.
Trisha Paytas
When Blake filed hers, I definitely like, oh, my God. Like, I was definitely like, damn. Like, we all kind of like Blake. And I felt like, really bad for her because they're so specific, her allegations, they're so specific. Like, how could you make them up? But the same. And the same flip side. Upside, I'm like, how could anyone talk about that on set when she's like, oh, I like, it was. It was promised he would stop talking about conquest on set. Like, what does that even mean? Like, he's just talking about women he slept with. Like, that's so random. I. I don't know. Like, I'm so torn because I'm like, well, damn, like, that's very specific that her just make that up. But on the other hand, like, he's the director and he's just talking about, like, taking advantage of women on a movie like this.
David Dobrik
I know. It's. It's so hard to sort through everything because, okay, like, obviously, obviously with like, Blake's side, all these different, like, screenshots of text conversations and stuff were published. And then with Justin's lawsuit, another 87 pages of text messages were published. So the thing with Blake's is that, like, how the texts were, like, extracted. Like, it loses, like, emojis and stuff. So then there's screenshots from Justin because they're actual screenshots, not like data that's pooled. They have like, their stuff that has, like, upside down smiley face where the publicists were saying, like, oh, oh, I Could we did this. We're taking her down. And there was an upside down smiley face. So they're high. Justin's evidence, like, highlighting that, like, this wasn't included. So this obviously implies that it was sarcasm. So it is very like, yeah, tip for tat. As far as, like, the screenshot and evidence, I think from reading the documents that from Justin's side, I think he was saying that, like, when they were talking, they were filming, like, a sex scene. They were having a conversation about how to do it. There's one example that Justin included where Blake was like, oh, I'd be so embarrassed if the guy I was with didn't orgasm or something, because they were having, like, a debate about if the sex scene should be just finished when Lily orgasms or if, like, whatever, his character has to orgasm.
Trisha Paytas
Oh.
David Dobrik
And she was like, I. I would be embarrassed if that happened. And then he started talking about his personal experience.
Trisha Paytas
Oh. So, okay. Weird conversation.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it's a weird conversation. So it's that kind of stuff that, like, is being argued as far as, like, contextual. But I don't know. I think as me right now, like, if you ask my opinion from. I read through both. Yeah, I read through the 90ish pages from both.
Trisha Paytas
You're legally go over here.
David Dobrik
Right. My opinion right now is, like, I do. And this is an unpopular opinion, apparently. Like, I'm willing to change my opinion, you know. But I do believe Blake because. Because this, she has so much evidence. And then from the evidence I saw from Justin that's been submitted so far, it seems very, like, contextual, but doesn't really, like, change anything really that much.
Trisha Paytas
Right.
David Dobrik
So there's. It's. I feel like it's trying to make it seem like, oh, contextually, like, it wasn't as bad as she's making it seem to be. But you're still kind of doing the behavior. Like, one example was, you know, Blake claimed that her. Justin's producer that she also named in her suit, like, showed her corn and.
Trisha Paytas
She'S like, wild, like, what?
David Dobrik
And then in Justin's evidence, like, it wasn't corn. It was a video of me and my wife's, like, water birth.
Trisha Paytas
But.
David Dobrik
And then they even have the screenshot of the video and she's, like, nude in, like, a little pool of water. Like a little inflatable pool or something.
Trisha Paytas
Such a big difference. Corn versus that. But also, like, we're. I don't know why. Showing the birthday. I think that is weird too. But, like, also, like. But that's why did she call it corn if that's the case?
David Dobrik
Well, I think that's just one. That's. We'll have to see what more comes out, because that's what they're saying is the actual situation. Like, maybe there's more. Like, if they're just arguing with that. But so even say, like, that is the circumstance that they are, like, rebuttaling. Right. Even that is still bad. Like, that is still, like, not good.
Trisha Paytas
To show the water birth.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Like, because you're on. And they were. They were trying to allegedly convince her to film the birthing scene nude, and they're like, look, like, my wife did it.
Trisha Paytas
It's just. I mean, it's just so hard. I mean, not to say I don't believe her. It's just such a wild thing. Like, that's so wild. Like, oh, you should do this. Look at my wife doing it. Like, it's just. I can't even. I've. I've just. Again, I'm not, like, saying she's, like, lying, but it's just like, God, I've been around the most, like, creepy, weirdest people, and I've never had that happen. But, like, maybe. I guess. But that isn't an artistic thing where you're, like, trying to show what it can look like. I don't know. It's so hard. I. I kind of am with you. I kind of am more Team Blake on this, I think, in general. General. Because I think what we talked about this a little bit on the Patreon. Like, I think she's very dislikable. She's like, a dislikable person.
David Dobrik
Like.
Trisha Paytas
But I can relate to this. Right. Gabbie, Hannah probably can do when you're already disliked. It's so easy to be, like. It's happened to me so many times. Like, when Even with the Colleen thing, where it's, like, clearly, like, what she did to me was, like, effed up. But then people will be like, yeah, Patricia also did this, this, and this. They bring up all the other stuff. Yes. Her press tour was awful, and she's, like, very distasteful in interviews. She's not likable, like, all of that. But. But if all this is true, the stuff she's saying about Justin Baldoni, like, it's actually so wild, it's almost unbelievable. But, like, it could very well be the truth. Like you said. There's so many receipts, like, how could it not be the truth? But it's, like, so unimaginable, all that stuff. So it's just like, if she didn't do her that too. Two things can be, you know, true. She can be, like, annoying, which I think a lot of us agree that she is. But also, this is wild that this happened to her. You know what I mean? I don't know. I'm very. Am a little bit Team Blake, too, in the sense that there is so much, like, text and. Yes, upside down smiley face. Does it change the change context? Maybe, but it does go back to that thing where it's like, well, I was just joking. I think that happens so much. It happens with me a lot where it's like, oh, remember you said this thing about Trish and like, well, yeah, but that was a joke. It's like there was an upside down smiley face. I'm like, yeah, but there's probably some, like, real truthness in there. I. I want to know how she got the text messages. I feel like I've been part of smear campaigns in the past. Like, people have definitely been, like, talking to people, trying to, like, what, Whatever. And first of all, like, we already have so much time on your hands. But it's like, how do you get that information?
David Dobrik
Those text messages, they were, like, extracted. The. One of the publicists that Justin was working with. I'm paraphrasing very loosely, but, like, one. One of the publicists that Justin was working with left the company that she was at and then was doing, like, her own thing and then turned in her company phone, and then the texts were, like, extracted from that company phone.
Trisha Paytas
By who?
David Dobrik
Like, because there's like, you know, when you submit, like, yeah, something like you can submit a device and then you can get. Even if you, like, erase the phone, whatever. Like, they can still. There's the.
Moses Hacmon
Yeah, it still.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it's still.
Moses Hacmon
But the company owns, like, all your emails. The company owns all your email, all your communications. And I think she specifically left to stay with Justin.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Moses Hacmon
She's his personal pr. You know what I mean? So she left the company to it.
Trisha Paytas
Has it been proven that that was like, a smear campaign where they were like, let's take her down or. No, that's not proven.
David Dobrik
That's what's being argued right now by. Because that's what Blake is claiming. But then Justin has in this. The evidence that was in the suit against the Times. They're saying that all of that was sarcastic because, like, the upside down smiley. They're saying that, like, no, we didn't do it. Like, we were joking about how everyone already dislikes her without us even having to do anything. But again, for both sides, right? You can say that there's screenshots or texts that are like kind of cherry picked. Because then what are the texts like before? Like, yes, you're saying all this now, but what was your strategy? The texts that were strategizing before all that? You know what I mean? Like, before people already started disliking her, were you already working towards like building a campaign against her? I think even we talked about it here when Justin hired like the Johnny Depp's PR crisis and even like taking out the political. The politicalness of that trial, whatever. At the end of the day, it was proven that the team that his team used boss bots to like, really sway social media favor against Amber Heard. Like, that part was proved. Like, that was part was proven. So even just knowing that like, and how successful that was, I was like, oh, not to say everyone who uses Johnny Depp's name is like in the wrong. But just that strategy of like, I. It was proven that the bots were used successfully to like sway public opinion against Amber Heard.
Trisha Paytas
So I feel like that should be like the least concern in this lawsuit because I feel like the. The stuff about the core, the talking about like sexual conquest, like, I feel. Feel like that's more like harassment. That should be like more studied because I think like smear campaign, I think that's where it gets lost, where people like, no, Blake. Blake we already hated.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
You know what I mean? So it's like, it's kind of hard to pin that because she did use it to promote her hair care products, which is like wild. And was there something I. What she said where she was only allowed to talk about the fashion or something? She couldn't talk about anything else.
David Dobrik
She says she was contractually obligated or she claims she was contractually obligated to market the film or promote the film film as like a girl's night out film versus like a dvd.
Trisha Paytas
Is there any proof of that?
David Dobrik
I don't know. Well, Sony is siding with her and Sunny would be involved in that. So we'll see if that comes out. Justin has claimed that that's not true and he did just to his benefit. Justin did have like a receipt that was like from 2022. He had already agreed to give. I think it was maybe 1% or it was a small percentage of revenue from the movie to. To like a DV charity. So that was to kind of rebuttal against, like, oh, Justin saw that it wasn't Working for Blake. So he pivoted. You know, that was kind of like Blake's claim.
Trisha Paytas
Interesting.
David Dobrik
So it is very, like, tit for tat.
Trisha Paytas
You know, it just becomes a little circusy. I feel like it's kind of like the amber drawing up, where it's, like, such, like, serious issues, but then it becomes a little circus because everyone was arguing about, like, the beanie, where he's like, oh, where the beanie looks sexy. Then I was like, it's just the beanie. And question. Like, then it becomes, like, this whole, like, silly thing.
David Dobrik
Well, I think with the beanie, too, that was another thing where it was like, she referred to it, oh, it's sexy if she wears the beanie. And then they were. That kind of made me sad because, like, in, like, they're trying to. Obviously, this is what lawyers do, as Moses says, sharks in the water. But they're trying to, like, twist it into, like, oh, well, she is setting the. The tone of their relationship. Like, she's calling it sexy where she's just. It's like a beanie. You know, she's not saying, yeah, it's, like, hot for her to, you know, show her skin. It's like, oh, like the beanie. You know, girls talk like that. It's like the beanie sexy, you know? And then another thing, like, when she said there was, like, a text message that was highlighted that was like, yeah, I'm just pumping, but you can come into the trailer.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I saw that one.
David Dobrik
And then she put, like, an X at the end, and then they highlighted. That was like, x is a symbol for kisses. And then, oh, well, I mean, a.
Trisha Paytas
Lot of people end it with an X. Yeah, exactly.
David Dobrik
So they're trying to make it seem like, oh, she was flirty, you know, but also, that's, like, one circumstance of her, like, letting. Saying, yeah, come to my trailer. That doesn't give permission for all the other times.
Trisha Paytas
And there's no end to me square. When they're talking about the sexiness and what should be done, like, there's not. Isn't there someone should be. Isn't there more people present? I guess that's my whole point.
David Dobrik
That was the other thing, too. And that part didn't make Blake look good because he. After they allegedly. After they had, like, that meeting where they were supposed to. It was like, a return to work thing where, like, they had this meeting of Blake's, like, demands in order for her to come back and film after, you know, there was some discrepancies, and part of that was the intimacy coordinator. But then Justin claims that Blake didn't want to meet with the intimacy coordinator. So Justin was meeting with them alone and then relaying the information secondhand because.
Trisha Paytas
She didn't want to meet with them. Yeah, she's like, no, I don't. I'm good.
David Dobrik
Or something like that. So that's what Justin is doing Me.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. I mean, that's kind of wild, too, because I think there was another interview I saw Blake Lively where she's like, oh, like, I. I was the intimacy coordinator or something, and it was just like, I feel like on these movies, you really. I think it was recently, too, I think. Was it Mikey Madison is her name, where she was talking about it, and it's like, oh, we didn't need one. We both felt comfortable, like, not to have one. But it's like, a lot of people were saying it's for the people, like, around them. You know what I mean? Like, extras, producers, like, for this stuff not to happen, like, you could be totally fine in the moment and be cool. But it's like, I still think, like, they probably are really needed. I think they get a lot of, like, you know, I don't know a lot of jokes about intimacy coordinates, but they're probably needed for this situation because, like, why is no one else around? It's like the rebel Wilson up the butt fingers to Sasha Baron. Was no one else around to, like, witnesses? Because it's such a weird conversation for, like, two people. I don't know. It's the whole thing. It makes me kind of sad because. Because it's like, at the end day, everyone's gonna make everyone look bad. You know what I mean? And no one really looks good again. I kind of side with Blake because I, like, know that feeling of, like, being hated and a guy treating you kind of people are like, well, it doesn't matter. She's a she. We hate her.
David Dobrik
You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
So I do feel for her. The Justin Baldoni defense of, like, the smiley face up to me sounds like it's like, okay, but you, like. I don't know. It's tough.
David Dobrik
I know. It is tough. And then there is stuff where, like, they have, like, this. Justin also submitted, like, screenshots of how, like, Blake took control and, like, wanted her own cut and stuff, and. And. But, like, where does that fall in line with, like, what she allegedly, like, went through? I don't know, but I'll say.
Trisha Paytas
I'm saying it gets, like. It gets mixed up because I just saw that, too. Where he's like, I didn't get the final edit and, like, all this stuff like that. And he's like, who doesn't. What director doesn't get a final edit? And, yeah, that's like, up. But again, it's kind of two separate things. I think harassment is, like, so serious and such, like, a thing that gets, like, overlooked in Hollywood. So I was just like, to me, that should be the more focus if that really was happening, which I believe. But I don't know.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And I don't know. Again, a lot of it will. My opinion very much could shift as things come out. Like, for sure. Like, right now.
Trisha Paytas
I thought it was, like, recent. I was like, guys, this is from, like, three months ago. Okay.
David Dobrik
So it's like, it changes as more information comes out, you know, but then.
Trisha Paytas
Like, is there even, like, a winner? You know, it's kind of the Amber Heard Giant up. Like, both of them, like, did some. So much of things, and it's like, is there really a winner? Because you, like, everyone's. What. I guess it's just what's worse? You know what I mean? It's just like, there's. There's a lot of levels of badness happening and we'll see.
David Dobrik
Like, I. I do think it says a lot that, like, obviously, I think before I was even like, oh, well, obviously, like, the whole cast would want to be like, team Blake. But then I guess. And because she's Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, like, they're so, like, powerful. But then there's also claims about, like, the younger Lily in the movie is played by Isabella Ferrer. Blake claims that Baldoni told her the. About the scene that, like, when she films the scene where she loses her virginity, he, like, was like, oh, yeah, that was really hot. And that made her uncomfortable. And that's why she was very. So it's not like Blake allegedly wasn't the only person that was uncomfortable by Justin Baldoni. So.
Trisha Paytas
So there's other claims.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And that also goes with.
Trisha Paytas
That's why I, like, tend to lean more to that side. Because it's like, if there's like multiple.
David Dobrik
People and it's like, yeah, now knowing that, it's like, okay, it makes sense why, like, Brandon Skinner, who was Atlas, this also has supported her, obviously. Jenny Slate, obviously, again, Colleen Hoover, Sony has also, like, so many people have sided with her that it's like, I don't know. And that's also the whole argument of, like, the lengths that the woman has to go to, like, prove that she was harassed, like, People are more upset about her claiming she was harassed than the idea of. Than being mad at the man for potentially harassing her.
Trisha Paytas
Because that is like a very, like, real thing. And I feel like it's an old school thing of people being like, oh, that was so hot. And maybe, maybe not meaning malice, but it's still like a problem and an issue in today, in like the world that we live in and as it should be. So I think it's like, I don't know, it. It. To me, it sounds believable. You know, people think, oh, that was like so hot. When it's like an inappropriate thing to say. But he's older, he's in his 40s. He maybe thinks still old school, like he's giving a compliment or something and.
David Dobrik
Not to like, again, people change or whatever. But he is someone who did have like, addiction and stuff too.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
So.
Trisha Paytas
But he's like, so religious now. He's a Baha'I. And I'm like, that's.
David Dobrik
So I read an interview where he was talking about, it's like. And how sometimes he is like, always still battling addiction. And then I saw again, you know, you see one thing, everything comes up. Yeah, I saw Britney Spears when she did her Jane the Virgin cameo. Said that she was really uncomfortable by Justin Boni. And I was like, wait, what?
Trisha Paytas
Like at her own mouth, she said in an interview or what?
David Dobrik
Yeah, back in the day, like when. Whenever she did it.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I think I said that too. But was she like, I was uncomfortable because he came up and gave me a hug or something.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, you can be uncomfortable with that. I think that's why it is so important. Like, we just gotta, like, you know, ask to touch people, ask for hugs. You know what I mean? Like, you know what? My hands are very respectful. They very much like, can I give you a hug? I love that. You know what I mean? And I'm like, I, I like, you should just ask people, I think, because you kept me uncomfortable, you know, by a hug. She's like, he just gave me a hug. I'll tell you what, I've been uncomfortable with men giving me hugs sometimes. Like, oh, God, why did you hug me?
David Dobrik
Where my hug at?
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, there was so many ill. That brings me back to high school. So many people were like, where's my.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Yikes. Okay, well, I guess we'll see how it unfolds. But yeah, look good for everyone. Just keeps filing lawsuits and I just like, oh, God. I get like, wanting it out there. And like, because obviously they're not doing it for money. I don't know. Just Maloney, but Blake Lively. Obviously not, but it's like, it's so much, like, energy. It probably gives you so much anxiety to have to, like, relive and bring up so much stuff and. Dig. We were talking about this text messages. Like, I wish I had all my text messages documented. I don't think I have all the documents if I could and wanted to do all this. So it's just like, it's so much work and so much was stressed, but.
David Dobrik
I know I do. I feel. I feel from, like, again, we'll see what comes out. I'm assuming Blake's team said, like, we'll see what comes out in federal court, so I feel like they are. I mean, as of right now, obviously they'll say that maybe they'll settle, but as of right now, it seems like they're willing to go all the way.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. It seems like no one's really doing it for the money, but more for the being right.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Because I think the. The numbers seem like symbolic, almost like Justin suing for 250 million. I feel like that's like, you know, know, it's a big number. It's like, attention grabby. And I feel like it's more so, like, reputation at this point. But I don't know. I. This. I thought of it going to trial, though, like, drains me because remembering the. Yeah. And like, all of a sudden, like, all the tick tockers and every, like, YouTube channel wants, like, comment, and then it becomes a lot of them very misogynistic. Like Johnny Depp. Amber heard. Yeah, whatever you think about them. But it was very misogynistic in general. Like, at the end of the day, she still was a victim, and people were just treating her so terribly, so.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, yeah.
David Dobrik
I don't want to go through that again.
Trisha Paytas
All paying. He wants a million. She had pay, too. Everyone's just, like, paying all this money.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Even though there was a winner, like, everyone was still, like, Johnny Depp's career was still damaged by. Even though he won. You know, Amber Hood had a freaking move. So.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, Johnny Depp did some things to her, too. So it's just.
David Dobrik
Yeah, that was documented. So.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Ah, well, hopefully it doesn't. I don't know.
David Dobrik
I don't know either.
Trisha Paytas
Justice for all for whoever's.
David Dobrik
Right.
Trisha Paytas
Why do people say justice for all.
David Dobrik
Liberty and justice for all.
Trisha Paytas
Like, we all deserve justice, but not all of us.
David Dobrik
That's true. If you don't deserve justice you shouldn't get it.
Trisha Paytas
You're the devil amongst us. That is crazy. Justice for all.
David Dobrik
Justice for most.
Trisha Paytas
Justice for the right.
David Dobrik
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
The person that's right, not the right half. I mean Cody Ko, who cares? But I guess we can talk about it. I don't know, like he came back and everyone's like, who cares? But also like, ugh.
David Dobrik
Like the timing obviously, I mean as predicted right before the demonetization because it was four months. Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
That's so crazy.
David Dobrik
And obviously they doing over Christmas break a lot of dubious stuff comes out like around the holidays. Cuz you know people, it's like such a delay. But we didn't forget and we're still talking about it. We. I made the mental note.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. Cowardly. Really. I mean you like cost a lot of people's like reputation. Like you know, his co host and like why don't you just say something? Like make a statement like, you know.
David Dobrik
I know Drew and Enya having to leave after just getting that beautiful set on emergency intercom.
Trisha Paytas
Yes. All of that. I'm just kind of like, why not? Like that's all you got. I don't know.
David Dobrik
It. It was a very odd apology first of all. Also it getting on the trending page. I was like, really?
Trisha Paytas
YouTube, was it really?
David Dobrik
It was like number 42 on trending low, but still like have we been.
Trisha Paytas
On the trending page? No, never. Just Rylan and Cody go up there, I guess. Never us, never does. Trent, who is trend. I know, but that's like always known to be fake, right? They just randomly pick videos to put up there.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I'm like 90. Sure.
Trisha Paytas
Did it get a lot of views? I didn't feel like, no. What was it on his like fifth channel?
David Dobrik
It was, yeah, it was Cody Cotrains very David Dobrik.
Trisha Paytas
When he does an apology, he's like, let me go on the like least amount of subscribers.
David Dobrik
It was like the YouTuber apology like checklist. Like let me do it on my least subscribed channel.
Trisha Paytas
I'm gonna put it on my iPhone Trisha page when I do my next apology. I have an iPhone trisha page from 2013. I'm gonna find that login and enter it.
David Dobrik
Funny. Oh, Cody trains. Let me see. Oh, it has 388k.
Trisha Paytas
That's what I'm saying. Like that's not trending. That's like been out for two weeks. That's crazy.
David Dobrik
Oh, he's still. He posted three hours ago. He's really.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, he's, he's, he's on the Comeback. He's on the Comeback.
David Dobrik
On the Comeback. Train. The toxic gossip. Cody Train.
Trisha Paytas
Gotta react to that.
David Dobrik
Yeah. For the one year anniversary. But yeah, it is funny. What did he say? He was like, I just, I know I've been away, but like making content and vlogging, it's just like in my blood. It's in my DNA. I have to do it. I was like, do you?
Trisha Paytas
No.
David Dobrik
Is there anything else you could DJ.
Trisha Paytas
On for where we don't have to see you? That's probably the better route. You cost so many people. Like your partner's job at the. Oh, Justin Baldon's partner quit her the podcast too.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So that's a lot anyways. But that's what I'm saying. Like you. Cause someone like, you know, that's their livelihood too. You know, it's like you, you can't be like, I'm sorry. Hopefully he did something for him. But it's like, yeah, and all the.
David Dobrik
Other employees too that work at that tiny me gang company, whatever. But it was like. So it was like literally one minute tacked at the end of the 21 minute, 31 second video. And it was pretty much like, yeah, like, I know your opinions might have changed about me. I get it. It was almost like Apollo, like forgiving the viewers who now don't like them. That's how it came across. It was like as if he was like, I forgive you if you don't, like if you see me differently. But it's like that was the vibe, you know, like he didn't acknowledge. He talked about it without talking about it, didn't acknowledge, no accountability. It was all very odd.
Trisha Paytas
But I do think like Even seeing the388,000 on, I mean it's Cody Train's channel, so no one like watches it. But I'm just in general, I think it's not as impactful. Like it's not like a, you know, 12 million view comeback. You know what I mean? So maybe people, people just like are less interested. Maybe like, you know what I mean? Just in general.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I think so. I mean his. This one got a lot of views, I think because it was the first one, obviously, like the apology was in there. But his second vlog got 80k, so that's like a big maybe drop.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, I think the ultimate. I think cancellation is the wrong word. But like, yeah, when you're not taking accountability, people want to just get like over it because it's not even like they're upset anymore. It's kind of just like, okay, this person's kind of like a person and like, we're just gonna unfollow them. I mean, it happens. It happens. Happens. I don't know. I think people are kind of just over it.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
The ultimate cancellation, I think to.
David Dobrik
With Cody's brand. He was that, like, it was very. He was feminist. Like, the light way where he would like, dunk on, like the misogynistic guys, you know, that was his whole thing. It was like he kind of seemed like the girls guy, almost like he would talk like.
Trisha Paytas
It's very parallel to Justin Baldoni.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Honestly, I mean, maybe we need to.
Trisha Paytas
Watch out for those feminists there, the straight men who like to pretend that they're allies. Because I didn't even know how much like he would lean into like the. The male feminist, you know, like, trying to like ally champion women. And then all this comes out. You're kind of like, are they kind of just like, you know, wolf's in sheep clothing? You know what I mean? Where it's kind of like I've always felt that way about people who are a little too gung ho. You know what I mean? And not to say you can be. It turns out I'm homophobic. At the end of the day, I really, really love gay men. And then they're just like, wow. It's just. There is something a little sus now that I know because even like Justin Baldoni's podcast was very like, feminist.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
And it's like, what is it like, man enough. And I'm just kind of like, like fighting toxic masculine man. Like, you're doing the most. You're doing a lot. Like, just be a good guy. You don't have to like, really? That's so interesting about. Right. So if that's your platform, like Justin Walter, you too. He will lump them in together. It's like if that was your platform for so long, long. You do owe a little bit more of an explanation. It's not like you're just some bro like David Dobrik who's like always kind of dude. But you were like championing like women being heard. And then this is just like how.
David Dobrik
Yeah. You were like, literally dunking on. Like he would do content reacting to like guys who were talk with toxic masculinity, you know, like, he would react to that and like dunk on and make him look dumb. You know, it was like, yeah, like, Cody has the good, you know, the good opinions and stuff.
Trisha Paytas
So he's like the Females. Male.
David Dobrik
Yeah. And then this. It's just so. And honestly, Tana is a better woman than me because I would be on his neck 100. I love that she's like, you know what? I'm healed. I'm gonna let everything go. And obviously, like, it probably. I don't know, like, that whole spectacle when it was like, you know, the big circus around, it was a lot for her, too, I think.
Trisha Paytas
That's what. I don't think she ever, like, intended to even, like, blow it up.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
But it did. And then it's like, for him, but I get it. Yeah. You just are like, okay, I'm just kind of over talking. But especially like 20, 25, like a.
David Dobrik
New year, you're kind of like, yeah, not.
Trisha Paytas
We'll stay on it.
David Dobrik
If it was me, damn, he would not know a moment of peace. I would have got up to him at the 24 Hour Fitness and have been like, what the hell are you doing here?
Trisha Paytas
But that's in your. In your dream. Was it a dream? Is that what you had? Or was it like a delusion?
David Dobrik
No, I did see him at 24 Hour Fitness, but. You did, actually, I might. He was going to come up to me and be like, I don't like me. And I've been like, you know what? You're a freak.
Trisha Paytas
That's a good one. You're a freak. Can come back on that one. Well, like I said, I think just like, the universe does its thing where it's like, people are kind of not caring less.
David Dobrik
Yeah. It is very Colleen code, because, you know, the big comeback. But then ever since, still posting. But, like, does anyone. Yeah, small amount, but yeah.
Trisha Paytas
So I think that's what it is. The ultimate is just like, people just really like, seeing your true colors and not caring.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Because there's those trolls who just love to, like, rage bait or whatever, and they get the views. But people. People are not into that anymore. They're kind of like, yeah, let's just let the trolls be in the bridge. Yeah, I'm trying to climb out of that bridge. I was like, let me sneak out, but there you go. Well, we have. I mean, we're like, out of time, but the. The devil amongst us, my enemy, number one of the show. Well, it's because of David Dobrik, but no, I didn't mean. Number two is Casey Neistat. But it goes hand in hand. Casey, nice. I've always called out. I have always. Always since, like, literally 2019, probably before I even got kicked out of the Vlog squad. I've been calling this out ever since Casey came around December 2018 in the back backyard. It was for some celebration. I don't know. David's 10 million. I don't know. Whatever. It was always just so, like, ignores me. Like, there literally could be three people in the backyard, and Casey will not acknowledge me. And I'm just like that. And it's happened at least on four occasions. He's misogynistic. 1. He's obsessed with David Dobrik, too. And he's just, like, a bad person, as we see now, because it's really just down to, like. And he. Oh, I. I do love Jeff. I love, love. Like, I don't love gotcha moments, but I do love Jeff's gotcha moments, which Jeff is the last person, I think, to do a gotcha moment on anyone. But that's how, like, dumb Casey is. Because I remember Casey being like, that's a mischaracterization. Because he said something like, why are you defending David? And he's like, I'm not. That's a miss. And then he plays that. There's that clip of Casey being like. And part of me is to protect him. It's like, what? Like, it's so gaslighty. I hate it so much. But he is. He is weirdly obsessed with David, weirdly obsessed with a lot of people in that vlog squad. And he, like, praises so many people that are actually also have turned out to be horrible people that do creepy and, you know, prey on people and stuff like that. Like, it's so weird. And he, like, the way he, like, boosts up these people is crazy. But. But ultimately, when on Jeff Woodcrack's podcast, like, the person who's, like, a direct victim, who's, like, still, like, just. This is why David will be enemy number one. Because, like, literally just, like, messed up this, like, person's life, but then also blamed him on top of that. And then Casey has, like, I want to see this. I want to see it so bad. I haven't seen it, but has, like, this whole documentary, not just about, like, Jack, but other victims of David that could, like, vindicate, like, give them some sort of, like, closure, I guess, and doesn't put it out. Like, that's. I feel like that's, like, not integral. Is that the word? Like, it's not. What is the word? Like, you're like, you have something that you could, like, show the world, and you don't. What is that called? You lack integrity. Is that what I'M trying to say because why people don't want to pick it up because, like, it's not going to Netflix. Like you have a YouTube channel. Like you don't. Like it could be so impactful. And he doesn't.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Because what the money. It's like he's still obsessed with David even though, like, obviously David wants nothing to do with him anymore. It's just so weird. I don't know what his deal is. I think he's just. I. I wouldn't say this because I think he's like intelligent. The fact that he's like had a successful like YouTube career at one point, but I just think, I don't know, just. I don't know what the word is. He just lacks intelligence, I guess.
David Dobrik
I think the gaggy thing to me too, like that was the big thing for me was like he was like, like the, the big thing is it didn't get picked up and like no one wanted it. Hulu, Netflix, blah, blah. And if I put it on my own channel, it has this, it is under this purview as gossip and I don't want it to be gossip. And I was like, so you want it to be on Netflix, the esteemed platform that has Love is Blind? Is it cake like the Harry Jowsy on three different shows. Netflix is not some, like big Netflix is a dumping ground for, for a ton of content, as are all the other ones. And also way to dunk on the, on your platform that you come from. So that is so like insulting to everyone who consumes YouTube's content. Intelligence is our content. Very silly, kind of dumb. Well, yes, but there are intelligent people on here that like the legal evil and like, you know, all these other people who are intelligent, have really smart video essays, have a lot of important things to say or like teaching people important things about the world.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
So to diminish everyone on YouTube as like, oh, it'd be gossip if it was on YouTube. Like it was on my own channel. Like, it doesn't. It's not going to be taken seriously. It's like way to all of us, like, what the hell?
Trisha Paytas
The most random podcast gossiping. You know what I mean? Like, that's all you're doing. You're just making.
David Dobrik
You've got an impulsive gossiping about this, talking about.
Trisha Paytas
All he's doing is gossip. He's just gossiping, gabbing, just rage baiting, just poke. Trying to be relevant against. Because I was asking was. I'm like, why are you doing all this? Like, why Is he like, what's the point? The movie's not coming out. No one wants it. But, like, what are you promoting? How. How awful you are? Like, I have something. I could take David down, but I'm not going to do it because Netflix doesn't want. It's like, what? And then he's like, but I'm probably protecting him. Even though all these victims, I'm sharing their story, and they were so thankful that I'm sharing their story. So you literally got them to share their story, Relive, trauma, all this stuff like that, and you're just like, I don't know. Maybe I'm protecting David. No, that's a mischaracterization. I'm not. No, but you said that because, like, what is wrong with you people?
David Dobrik
I'm not protecting David. That's a mischaracterization. Maybe. Pardon me? It's like, okay, well, semantics, like, men.
Trisha Paytas
Are so annoying that way.
David Dobrik
It's so semantic. And I hate smiley. And then I hate it under the guise of like, well, the Internet doesn't understand nuance. I am perfectly capable of understanding digesting nuance 100%. But you saying maybe I'm protecting David versus I'm protecting David, like, that is literally semantics.
Trisha Paytas
And it's the same.
David Dobrik
The. The thesis is the same.
Trisha Paytas
Did he say that people don't understand nuance? It's like he thinks he's just so smart.
David Dobrik
Yes, that's what I mean.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Because he's like, it comes across like it's so much better than you. Like, he's above it. It's like, the thing he's created is so much better than it. I'm like, damn. Also, part of me is like, if every single one of these, like, platforms has passed on it, is it even that good? Like, what is the tea, honey? Because Netflix has everything. Not even, like, cnn, Fox News, like, ABC News, cbs. Like, they have the freaking dope Beck movie. Like, if Noah Beck can get on Tubi and your documentary can't. What's going on?
Moses Hacmon
We're seeing the documentary about Casey. Not releasing the documentary. Honestly, so many interviews about it. Stop talking about it.
David Dobrik
Presents Casey.
Moses Hacmon
That's what's so weird, is his only point of relevancy right now is the fact that he has something he won't release.
David Dobrik
Like, you know what I mean?
Moses Hacmon
Like, there's nothing else.
Trisha Paytas
Like, I can't imagine any of it being good. I mean, he still praises David. He still praises people in that group. And I'm like, are you okay? Like, it's actually insane. There's so many, like, predatory behaviors in that group where he's like, I love them. They're great. They're wonderful. I was just like, you're psycho. He is. He always says. He's always giving me those. Maybe it's the sunglasses where he never takes them off. Like, what? What? Like that. And he never did, ever. And I was just like, how are you just, like, going up to people in real life? Like, I get that's your Persona, whatever, but you're, like, talking to someone this close and, you know, take off your scratched sunglasses. Like, that's so weird. I'm sure you try to sell it at some point. I'm trying to mean a merch or something. Get some case nice at sunglass. I know he probably has something wrong with his eye. Okay. Like, don't come for me. Okay.
David Dobrik
I hope he does. I thought that too. Maybe I haven't heard anything about it. He took off his glasses for a second in that Jeff. In the Jeff Wick interview.
Trisha Paytas
And how were they?
David Dobrik
He looked normal. He was like. Cuz he did a little snafu where he was like, not making the movie I wanted to make about David was really painful. He's like. I shouldn't say painful. He's. Then he took off his glasses. This is my face. Like, not. I didn't have any surges or anything. This is just how I look.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, so weird. Weird flex on Jeff being like, actually, mine's not painful. You're painful, but weird.
Moses Hacmon
If Jeff can do the interview without glasses, you can too.
Trisha Paytas
Exactly. That was weird. I don't know. Anyways, for Jeff looking smart in that, I mean, not to say he's not, but he looks smarter than, you know, because I think Jeff comes across as like a himbo. Maybe he's not dumb, but, like, you know, that's like his shick or whatever that he's a little himbo. But he looked, like, so intelligent compared. He looked like Dr. Dillman next to Casey Neistat. You know what I mean? I was like, damn. Okay.
David Dobrik
Like, you know, journalistic integrity. I didn't know Jeff FM was capable of such journalistic integrity.
Trisha Paytas
But he went in Casey Neistat going on there was crazy. I was like, you are. You just make yourself look so insane. Like what? Like, it.
David Dobrik
It was very odd. It was to also, I don't know, like you said, like, gaslight us into thinking that that's not what he said. But then there are clips of what he did say and, like, it was all just bizarre. I mean, obviously him. Casey and Jeff are obviously cool and they're still friendly despite everything. Couldn't be me again.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah. Is that when he's still protecting David? It's so annoying. Just put it out there. Weird.
David Dobrik
It's so. It's also bizarre, but I don't even know, like, me personally, I'm like, now at this point, honestly, eff it. Like, I don't give it. The only reason I would care about it is if maybe, like, the girl, like, like the victim from, like, the Dirty Dom situation. Like, if she was really passionate about wanting to be seen, then, yes, kudos. Support you. But other than that, I'm like, honestly, I feel like the moment's gone. It's irrelevant now. The stuff in it. We all know what happened at this point. You know what I mean?
Trisha Paytas
It's like, if there's something groundbreaking, I'm sure he would post it.
David Dobrik
Yeah, there's not. We know David's gonna come across badly in it. He doesn't come across great now, you know?
Trisha Paytas
When has he ever come across good? Ever? Like, I just. I. Like, Yeah. I don't know. Rosanna said she got clogged arteries from his pizza. Allegedly. I don't know.
David Dobrik
I think she was talking hyperbolically. But yeah.
Trisha Paytas
Okay. She didn't actually go to the doctor and get the X ray.
David Dobrik
Yeah. We don't know if her cholesterol actually went up.
Trisha Paytas
But those pepperonis look very little. They look very sus. I feel like anymore someone who has like, a brick and mortar store, it's like a little sus. You know what I mean? I just learned what brick and mortar meant the other day. And I love that word.
David Dobrik
I feel like it's better than a ghost kitchen. No. Or do you think a ghost kitchen is better? Okay. Yeah. Because Mr. Mr. Beast had the ghost.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, I remember that.
David Dobrik
But at least David has a brick and mortar.
Trisha Paytas
I like brick and mortar. It just sounds like it's like a. It sounds sus, is all I'm saying. You know what I mean? Because there's no way that pizza's making money next to Saddle Ranch.
David Dobrik
It is pretty expensive, though. I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
Right? Yeah, that location's probably expensive. It's on Sunset Boulevard.
David Dobrik
Well, the pizza slice, I mean, they're like. Oh, I think it's pretty expensive for, like, a slice.
Trisha Paytas
Did you get one? Oh, you got one for Joey's video.
David Dobrik
Yeah. That was a couple years ago.
Trisha Paytas
You try it? Yeah, it was good.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it was good.
Trisha Paytas
I mean, not great.
David Dobrik
I remember liking at the time. But it was like a deep dish. It wasn't too far off. It was like a little bit elevated of a Pizza Hut, if that makes sense. Like it was the. You know, the pan. So it was thicker.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, Pizza Hut sounds good. The breadsticks.
David Dobrik
I do love those breadsticks.
Trisha Paytas
We should do one of those. Maybe next time we should do the Cheesecake Factory appetizers. We've got to do that. Like, I just want to order everything from Cheesecake Factory.
David Dobrik
Oh, would love. Yeah, I love the Factory.
Trisha Paytas
Next one. I love the Factory. Factory, too, but not old Spaghetti Factory. That is not good. It used to be so good. Do you remember it?
David Dobrik
I've never had it, but I remember driving past it and I'm like, that sounds like it'd be good spaghetti.
Trisha Paytas
It's not. I used to love it as a kid, but we went to the one in Duarte and it's haunted. And everyone told us it was haunted after. And I didn't know, but it makes sense. Those bathrooms are in the basement and they did feel very scary, but apparently it was like an old school and it's haunted by children, so that's.
David Dobrik
That's really scary.
Trisha Paytas
It is. I know. And I guess they, like, you know, float around the.
David Dobrik
It's very like Five Nights at Freddy's.
Trisha Paytas
Like, haunted by the children.
David Dobrik
Maybe the three. Cool.
Trisha Paytas
Oh, did they already film.
David Dobrik
I think they filmed two, but maybe three.
Trisha Paytas
All right, guys, well, check out Old Spready Factory and Duarte. Five Nights at Freddy, the sequel and not Casey. Nice new documentary. Come. Coming nowhere near you. I'm gonna ask Jeff to have. I think he has a copy. I'm gonna watch it. I want to watch it just for educational purposes. We love you guys. Happy new year. Happy 2025. 5. All entertainment here. All jokes.
David Dobrik
All jokes. Besides Mr. Beast, I still hate him.
Trisha Paytas
But yeah, that Justin Baldon sounds serious. Cody co Definitely serious. Everything else just jokes. Nice. That no. Always dislike. All right, love you guys. See you in the next video. Go to our Patreon for extended podcast. Goodbye. That was cute. Did you have peace sign?
Moses Hacmon
I don't know.
Trisha Paytas
That's funny. Heart. That's Melboy's favorite.
David Dobrik
Does she do. Does she do the Gen Z?
Trisha Paytas
She doesn't do the Gen Z. She does this one.
Moses Hacmon
So long. Since she was a year old. She's doing it.
Trisha Paytas
Yeah, she does. I wonder where she saw that. She loves a heart.
