3. Dubai Adventure: Going Solo, International Friendships

• David describes attending a creator event in Dubai, originally planned as a duo presentation (“Working for your best friend”) with Natalie.

  • Jason: “I love how codependent you are with Natalie… That was, like, a big deal.” (05:17)
• David reflects on forming international friend groups, especially Tanya:
  • David: “I've only seen [Tanya] really outside of the country… She has our notifications on for our pod. She says she's turned them on. She’s only listened to about two of them. Honestly, I don't think she's listened to one of them.” (06:12-06:21)

Home Away from Home in Dubai

• David highlights the comfort of sitting in a real home (not an Airbnb) abroad, eating snacks, and ordering food with friends—making travel feel less like travel. (07:03 – 07:19)

Waivers Taste Test

• David recounts how he insisted his friends in Dubai be brutally honest about his Waivers chips, bemoaning how people always say they’re good—even when statistically, some should dislike them.

  • David: “Let’s try to find one we don’t like. We can't be mean on any of them… Ryan Trahan's candy. So good.” (10:58-11:07)

• The night before the Dubai talk, Natalie gets food poisoning (“everything started coming out all sides—mouth, nose, ears, ass”), leaving David to do the presentation alone.
  • David: “Only one of us got food poisoning. And it was Natalie.” (11:37)

5. Dubai Event: Creator Culture & ‘New Age VidCon’

• Notes Mr. Beast’s omnipresence in Dubai ("he is making his mark to be like Walt Disney") with ‘Kindness Stations’. (16:57)

6. Philippines Adventure & Filipino Wedding

8. Making Content at Home vs. Traveling

• David finds it hard to make videos in LA—home is now his “play” space with clear separation from work.
  • David: “Unfortunately, I've gotten comfortable here, and I’ve now separated my work and play. My play is just genuinely being at home.” (34:16)
• Compares this with wanting to travel more for content—upcoming plans include Madrid, Rio, Cape Town, and Hong Kong.

9. Jason’s Daily Vlogs: Hustle & Humor

• Jason talks about his new daily vlogging streak (“I’ve done it every day for 14 days… I’m gonna do it the whole year”), describing it as an exercise and necessity: “The secret is actually nothing at all. I don't have a choice. I have the wherewithal and I have nothing at all.” (29:21-29:28)
• Lighthearted financial honesty: “I'm making $35 a video.” (29:56)

10. Pop-Culture Talk: Who Are the Real “Legends”?

• The hosts debate the “legend” status of various celebrities (Wanda Sykes, Joe Pesci, Queen Latifah), riffing on the difference between being famous and legendary.

[A]

Oh, my God, it was so lonely.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you realize what you don't have when I'm gone?

[A]

Really? Right? Yeah. Yeah. You realize that, you know, you don't have.

[B]

You realize that I am 85% of your life.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe 95.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You realize that, you know, there's no. There's no screaming, there's no yelling. At first you're like, this is kind of nice. And then later you're like, oh, damn. There's no screaming or yelling.

[B]

Yeah. The screams, they fill voids.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's why I'm here.

[A]

They filled my screams.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You look good.

Jason's had a little vacation from the pod.

Wow. You haven't pod in how long?

[A]

It's been a week.

[B]

Have you been.

[A]

Oh, it's not that long, really.

[B]

Just a week.

[A]

Good pods, though.

[B]

Have you. Yeah. Have you enjoyed the pods more without you on them?

[A]

Yeah, I think they're a lot better without me. I think. I think so. I was loving it. I was loving Ilya. I was loving Ferris.

[B]

We got really lucky. We got Ferris on.

[A]

Yeah. And he would never do it. He ran so many times.

[B]

Ferris would sit in a lot of times when we do pods or at least sit in the other. Be like, ferris, get in here. And he'd be like, no, no, David, I can't. And he's always like, I have nothing to say.

[A]

It's like, I don't want to ruin it.

[B]

I don't want to ruin it. We're just like, I don't know, like, what, what does he think? Like, does he think we're just gonna be like, okay, Ferris, let's hear your top five best jokes. Like, you just fucking sit there.

[A]

It's also funny how. How people are. People are always the same way. They're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't. Come on.

[B]

And then they do it.

[A]

And then. Yeah. And then by the end, they're like.

[B]

They're rolling. I don't think people understand, like, what it is. Yeah, yeah. It's like, take me, for example. I don't want to do the pot at all, ever. But then when I'm here, I'm like, hey, this isn't so bad. I'm like, the number one example of it. So I feel like for the last two months, we've been talking about this trip.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The Sydney, Philippines.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And tell me about it.

[A]

I didn't watch anything on Instagram. What happened? How was the Philippines?

[B]

Well, I have to apologize because there won't be a vlog coming this week.

[A]

No, no. Why?

[B]

I just don't have time.

[A]

What were you busy doing?

[B]

It's just a new excuse I'm gonna start using when I just want to push it a week. I'm just gonna go. I don't. I don't really want to do it this week. No, I do have time. Well, here's the thing. I'd have to edit it now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I leave tomorrow again.

[A]

Oh, you're going away again?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where are you going?

[B]

I leave for Madrid. Who are you? Which sounds like. I'm kidding.

[A]

Who are you?

[B]

Sounds like a joke.

[A]

Oh, my God. I was so excited because Natalie was like. Natalie said you were back. And I was like, oh, cool, he's back early. We'll be able to do the pods this week.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, no, we're doing another pod tomorrow right before my flight. My flight's at 6pm what are you doing in Madrid? I'm going just for work.

[A]

For what brand?

[B]

Work stuff.

[A]

What brand?

[B]

Huh?

[A]

What brand?

[B]

It's a brand that doesn't exist yet that I'm meeting with.

[A]

Oh, you guys are creating the new prime Meetings.

[B]

It's like meetings.

[A]

Oh, meetings about maybe working with.

[B]

But let's just say it rhymes. It rhymes with sushi. No, no, no, it's not. It's.

[A]

It Ryan's. It's.

[B]

No. Yeah, I'm going to Madrid.

[A]

I'm doing something for Always. Maxi Pads or.

[B]

Yeah, it's a new brand deal. I'm gonna be the first male spokesperson for tampons.

[A]

You'd be the guy.

[B]

I would be.

[A]

You are the guy that could do that 100. And that's not even a. That's not even a diss on you.

[B]

No.

[A]

Because I feel like when you talk, girls are like, oh, David's got, like, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Like, I want to hear what he has to say about, like. And you always take our reproductive organ.

[A]

Yeah. You always take the woman's side in an argument.

[B]

I am really good at taking the women's side.

[A]

Always take the woman's side.

[B]

Especially when it comes to bleeding, which.

[A]

Probably is just, I think, a way for you to try to get laid. But let's keep going.

[B]

Well, that's a really good idea. I should definitely be a spokesperson for tampons.

[A]

I like that.

[B]

Yeah, that's really good.

[A]

But that's not how you're meeting with.

[B]

That's really funny because, you know, it's all about how, like, representation matters. It'd be really funny if I took the one spot that was definitely a woman's job. Just see the new tampons books versus David.

[A]

It's just gonna be either Caitlin Clark or David Dobrik. Who do we go with here?

[B]

Well, so, yeah, I'm back on Sunday, but. Okay. So that's why I.

[A]

It's. Nat going with you, huh? Nat going.

[B]

I'm going solo.

[A]

So I saw one post, actually, that you were alone in Dubai, and I love that declaration.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I love how codependent you are with Natalie that you. That was, like, a big deal.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I'm alone in Dubai's a really big deal.

[B]

Cause we got hired to, like, do, like, a talk in Dubai. And, like, it was supposed to be the topic of the talk was working for your best friend.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

So it was very Natalie and David. So I was like, okay, we can do this. Like, this is, like, so easy. I won't even have to be nervous because Natalie will do so much of the talking. I'll just chime in, make fun of her, call it a day.

[A]

Yeah, easy.

[B]

But then we got there, we went out to dinner with our friends the day before in Dubai. I've just now realized I'm starting to have international friends, which is really cool. I didn't have them before. Yeah, I was kind of telling them, too. I was like, you guys are my international friends. Like, shout out Tanya. Tanya's one. Tanya says shout out, Waleed. Shout out Tanya. Tanya's one. Especially that. I see a lot of places.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

She says she has our notifications on for our pod.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

She says she's turned them on. She's Only listened to about two of them. Honestly, I don't think she's listened to one of them. I think she was just being nice.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

But Tanya, this is a test to see if she's actually. She may be listening. Tanya, please text me if you listen to this. Anyway, Tanya is a person that like, ding. Tanya, I've only seen, like, really outside of the country.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I've seen her in like seven different countries. She's from. She's from India. She showed us around India. You've met her, Tanya.

[A]

No, no, I didn't go to sing.

[B]

Tanya. It's going to ring about the nighttime. I said, you know, Tanya.

[A]

If you say Tanya enough, it starts to sound weird. That's one of those words. Tanya, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya.

[B]

But yeah, I'm starting to, like, see people, like, internationally. It's really cool.

[A]

That's fun.

[B]

And the best part was Tanya has a house there in Dubai. And like, I just went to go like, sit on the couch there with like, our other friends.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And sitting on a couch in somebody's home in a different country.

[A]

The best.

[B]

Fucking insane.

[A]

Insane.

[B]

It's like you're not traveling.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like all your, like, travel. Like, and I'm talking like a well, like a well furnished home that feels like a home. I'm not saying like an Airbnb. Like, no carpet under the. Under the couch.

[A]

Have any snacks or.

[B]

Yeah, snacks. I ordered food.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Watch tv?

[B]

Didn't watch tv. But there wasn't even need for it, was there?

[A]

Chatter.

[B]

So much chatter.

[A]

Oh, what were you talking about?

[B]

Well, first I ordered food from Oporto's, I think, And I kind of. It was like, it's like a chicken place.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So first we were talking about the food.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

And then they wanted to try the waivers. We're in Dubai now, so. So we ordered the waivers to the house and I filmed them and I was like, you know, I'm posting this on Close friends. I told him. So, like, I want you to look me dead in the eyes and tell me that this is disgusting if you don't like them.

[A]

Right?

[B]

And they're like, of course. They hit me with the. Listen, David, I'm gonna be honest with you no matter what. Like, I like, like. So our friend Mimi was there and she told her boyfriend. She was like. She was like, tell him, tell him. Tell him that I'm honest with everything. And he's like, she's really honest. So I'm like, great. Okay. I've heard this talk before. And then of course they try the chips and they're like, I'm not kidding, these are wonderful. That's why I hate. I hate, I hate giving. I hate trying.

[A]

What do you think of them?

[B]

I love them.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. But it's just like. But I know it's not possible because even the thing I hold to the highest standard.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is McDonald's.

[A]

Right?

[B]

I've talked about this before, right? I love McDonald's. But there's people in the world that don't like McDonald's.

[A]

Yes, there is.

[B]

So there's no reason that everybody I've encountered should like my chips.

[A]

Right?

[B]

There has to be some people that. It's just not their style.

[A]

It's.

[B]

And no. No matter how many times, how can.

[A]

You tell somebody that their product is no good? No one's gonna say that. No one.

[B]

No, I know.

[A]

And if you do, you're arguing this. You're fucking asshole.

[B]

You're arguing the same side as me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

No one's gonna say that.

[B]

So that's why I like.

[A]

But also on what level would you say that they're bad? You would never, you would never.

[B]

If you said, no, it's not really possible for those chips to be bad.

[A]

Yeah, they're not possible. They're good. They're chips.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, they're chips. Yeah, yeah. But it's just like, I just get tired. I just get like. I get tired of people coming to blow smoke up my ass about them.

[A]

But why don't you just compartmentalize it and be like, yeah, the chips, you like them. Oh, cool. You like them. You don't like them.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Right. Why can't you just.

[B]

I don't know why I'm like that about these chips.

[A]

It's the only thing you're about. You're so passionate about everything. You like your videos. You're like, no, I love these videos.

[B]

No, because I. Because I think people that come to the videos actually do enjoy them. And I think like people that come.

[A]

To the chips are faking it.

[B]

No, cuz I think everyone. I don't know. I don't know, dude. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I just like. Cuz like, you'll see like on the Internet, right? You'll be like, you'll be like, dobrik's pizza sucks. Like somebody will say that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And like whatever. You're just saying that. Cuz it's. It's either an influencer pizza, my pizza, whatever. Like you just like you just don't like the idea of the pizza, Right. Because genuinely in my heart of hearts, if you. If I was to white label my pizza place.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And fucking open a new spot down the street.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Called Frank Maselli's or some fucking really cool Italian spot.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I fucking know it. I know that it would be on TikTok the next day, being like the newest. And I'd cut it into different pieces. I'd do square pieces instead of triangles. People would go, the hottest spot just open. They import the water straight from Italy.

[A]

We should Nathan Fielder that. It's all we should do.

[B]

I know that shit exists. So I think that's. That's a two way street. So I just, like. I don't take anybody's word whether it's good or bad.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I cannot take it for food for some reason.

[A]

Let's look at it this way. Like, prime is a little too sweet for me. But if I was sitting across from Logan, Paul and KSI, I'd be like, this is great, but it's a little too sweet for me. But I'm not gonna tell them that. You know what I mean?

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

You know?

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

It's tasty.

[B]

I'll say this about Jimmy's chocolate. Mr. Beast chocolate. Yeah. I actually really like it.

[A]

Jimmy's chocolate is good.

[B]

Yeah. Let's try to find one we don't like. We can't be mean on any of them. Okay. Okay. Okay. I got one. Ryan Trahan's candy.

[A]

It's delicious.

[B]

So good.

[A]

And I actually love Prime.

[B]

Yeah, it's not too sweet. It's actually the perfect one.

[A]

Sometimes it's a little sweet for me, but. But, yeah. Well, yeah, I don't. So then what. So you had a convo in Dubai. Well, you wanna back up?

[B]

So I did it without Natalie.

[A]

Okay. I thought Natalie, Gwent.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, Natalie, we went out to eat before. Oh, this is when I got sidetracked here.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I just really opened a new portal to a new world of conversation. Isn't that crazy? I was supposed to go this way. This is how it was supposed to go. We went out to dinner before we all ate, and only one of us got food poisoning. And it was Natalie.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

Yeah. We went back to the hotel and she said an hour after she lay down, everything started coming out of all sides. Mouth, nose, ears, ass.

[A]

Did she have the chicken?

[B]

I don't know what she had because we all had. We all had almost the exact. Like we all had shared plates. So, like, maybe there was an item or two that one of us didn't touch, but we all definitely had. At least one of us had another thing that she had. So I almost imagine there was something in one of the pieces of ravioli when she just. There's like seven ravioli and everyone grabbed one and she probably just grabbed the wrong one. What a crazy thing.

[A]

Oh, Russian roulette.

[B]

Yeah, kind of crazy Russian ravioli. When your company's grown fast, order fulfillment can make or break your success.

[A]

So then she was out. She couldn't do the talk?

[B]

No, she couldn't do the talk. So I did the whole day by myself. Like I went to go to the waivers thing. We had like a new waiver set up in Candylicious. Oh, wow. Um, it's in The Dubai Mall. Dubai's fucking insane.

[A]

Oh, Natalie must have been so upset. She loves waivers.

[B]

She does love waivers.

[A]

She loves going traveling, talking about waivers.

[B]

And then. Yeah, and then the talk. We had to, like, reformat. I brought on Samir instead from Colin and Samir? Yeah, he was my Natalie, my. My comfort animal. Oh. And then the guy walked up to me that. The guy's like, what's your dream? Do you. Have you ever seen that guy on TikTok?

[A]

No, the British guy?

[B]

He's like, what is your dream, sir?

[A]

I haven't seen it.

[B]

No, you've definitely seen it. Kayla said the same thing. And then I played his voice in the second.

[A]

Okay, what's your dream? He's a guy. Instead of what do you do for a living? He asks, what's your dream?

[B]

But he's like, British. And then he goes. He goes like, I'll do it with you. I go, what's your dream?

[A]

Have a TV show.

[B]

So why aren't we doing that right now?

[A]

And then you answer, I don't have the money.

[B]

Well, listen. Listen to me right now. There are thousands of people watching this right now. I'm doing a bad British accent.

[A]

That's pretty good.

[B]

I just truly think right now, yeah, we can get you a TV show. And then he actually helps the people out.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

But his voice is really cool.

[A]

He's a really good guy. Does it last, like, more than 30 seconds, or does he work on it for, like, a month?

[B]

Oh, he cuts and then he beats the shit out of the person.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

No, no, no. There's one specifically that he's actually working on right now.

[A]

Okay. Like, what is it?

[B]

Like, it's actually the exact same thing. He wants to be an actor.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So he's been following this guy, I think he said, for, like, six months.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

And he was asking me. He's like, do I do that into, like, parts on YouTube or do I just make one video?

[A]

Oh, you ran into him and you were chalking shop.

[B]

Yeah, well, he came up to me, okay, so the Dubai conference was in sync. It was all creators. Great Billion Summit. And you're walking through the lobby, and it's like, it'll be like, seven different creators with seven different questions. So it'll be like, how many? It'll be like, how many likes.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

How many likes to do this with you?

[A]

How many?

[B]

One guy asked me, he's like, if he could watch soccer in my house. I'm like, fuck, yeah, that's easy. And another guy asked me if he's asking 100 celebrities to do push ups.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

And then another guy asked me, did.

[A]

You do the push ups?

[B]

Yeah, it was just one pushup. Yeah. So it was great. And then another guy asked me how he likes to be in a vlog or something or a video, any kind of video. And I said 5 million. And then another guy asked me. Yeah. Something along the lines of, oh, he was shaking everyone's hand. He was shaking 100 celebrities hands or something. But like it was like, it was really funny. This is my first time seeing like the new version of like a vidcon work. Because that was never like that. That, that was never, that was never happening at VidCons where like, sure, everyone was making their own content. Everybody has their own shtick.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

At this thing. It felt like a new age vidcon. It was really cool.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

And Mr. Beast is like the king there. So like, was he there? I didn't see, I didn't run into him. But like you'll see like his like booth set up everywhere. He has like these like kindness stations. I have no idea what happens if you. I fucking maybe hands you money when you go to them. They're like all over. He's very present in Dubai.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Like it's like he is like making his mark to be like Walt Disney. Wow. Yeah.

[A]

He opened a theme park there, right?

[B]

I don't.

[A]

Or is it in Saudi Arabia? I think.

[B]

Is it in Riyadh?

[A]

Yeah. Did you see they opened their. Have a Harry Potter hotel coming.

[B]

Yeah. So I've been. Yeah.

[A]

David spoke to an existence.

[B]

Yeah. Which is really weird. I spoke it into existence like within a week.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It was like announced. Um, that was really strange. It's Harry Potter themed which kind of stresses me out.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because I don't think you can actually. I don't think it's Harry Potter branded.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

So like, I don't. I don't think it's like, you're welcome to Hogwarts. I think. I think it just looks like a wizarding school or a wizarding cast castle.

[A]

Oh, that's weird.

[B]

So. Yeah, I don't know that I hope, I hope it is full. Full Harry Potter. But what I've been reading is that it's just like an inspired by thing.

[A]

Oh. Oh, well, even better.

[B]

But yeah, that'd be sick. Yeah. So. And then.

[A]

Okay, so. So then you were in Dubai, you came back last night, you slept all day and everyone got sick in Dubai. Everyone got sick in the Philippines.

[B]

Yeah. Julia and John got Sick in the Philippines, and then now they got sick in Dubai, and I'm trying to avoid it. I should have just stayed in Dubai because the flight to Madrid would have been way, like, shorter.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But, like, one, we need to do the pod.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So I need to come back. And then two, there's something about just seeing my house that just, like, gives me energy to go.

[A]

It's nice.

[B]

I mean, it's just so nice to be here. Even though I only slept in the bed for two nights. Like, I'm ready to go again.

[A]

What happened in the Philippines?

[B]

What happened?

[A]

Yeah. How was that?

[B]

That was incredible.

[A]

It was.

[B]

Yeah, it was. It's definitely a place I'm going to, like, visit.

[A]

Really? What would you, like, about.

[B]

Just felt like. It felt like an Adam Sandler movie. I kept describing it as that. Like, it felt like true getaway. Like, how Adam Sandler makes Hawaii feel.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is how it felt there.

[A]

So not like Bangkok in any way.

[B]

No, no, no. Manila had moments where it felt like the city felt. Manila felt like, like, some Asian, like, countries.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

From what I saw. But, like, then, like, the other islands are. I really wasn't in too many parts of Manila. I was literally, like, in one area. And we just, like, went around. We went out there one night. Right. So I didn't see much, but, like. Yeah, around, like, the islands felt very. Just, like, tropical and, like, what you would want a tropical vacation to be, like.

[A]

How was the wedding?

[B]

Oh, wedding was incredible, too. Wow.

[A]

It was.

[B]

I forgot we did that. Yeah. That was the next day after we went out. We were very hungover, and the wedding was crazy because it was like. You would have loved it. Yeah, you would have had a blast.

[A]

There's a lot of people.

[B]

It's. I've. I don't know if this is Filipino culture or if this is like, this, but it's probably. It was probably this specific wedding, for sure. The specific wedding. But they have an announcer that, like, runs you through it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And the announcer straight talking for, like, four hours. Really, like. And it's like, okay, now time to play a game. And, like, the bride and groom don't give a moment to just sit there.

[A]

Really.

[B]

Like, they go from one photo op to the next to the next. And they'll, like, take pictures with everyone right outside the venue. Then they'll take pictures with everyone at church, then outside the church.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Then they'll take pictures with everyone at the dinner table. So, like, the tables will come up to sit next to them.

[A]

Oh, you're working the whole time.

[B]

It's the whole time. But I think, for me, I was like, this is insane. Like, if Natalie made me do even a percent of this, I'd be like, are you on fucking crack?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, what are we doing here? But I think it's, like, a big moment where maybe they don't take as many pictures. And, like, when the whole family's together, especially in the Philippines, it's a really big deal. So they. So everyone seemed very down to do the photos, but it was crazy. It was.

[A]

But the bride and groom must be tired and they enjoy themselves.

[B]

They were exhausted.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And there wasn't. There wasn't a moment where it was like, from this time to this time, the DJ just plays music.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It kind of just ended. And then whoever wanted to stand, dance, we all stayed and danced. But that was, like, part of the wedding. It's really hard to explain.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

But it was really, really fun because, like, especially when you got. When you started to drink, the guys would come around, do trivia, and it'd.

[A]

Be like, yeah, what kind of trivia?

[B]

Well, it'd be like, dude, I can't believe I got stumped on one. Which is crazy. It was. What, two letters spell candy.

[A]

Two letters spell candy.

[B]

N and D. No, C and Y.

[A]

C and Y?

[B]

Yeah, C and Y candy. Which is fucking bullshit. Cause all the other ones, because I raised my hand because I was like. I was like, I want to play and I want to. Cause I know all my fucking. I know all of my, like, little riddles. I'm so good at them. Cause that's all I do. Like, when we get drunk and we're, like, all sitting on the couch, I'm like, let's pull up riddles. And I've gotten to the point where I really know them. And there's one specifically that people love saying. And it's like, let me do it to you. So it's. So a plane crashes on the border. Do you know where I'm going with this?

[A]

No.

[B]

A plane crashes on the border of Mexico and the United states. Okay. There's 100 people on the plane. 50 people get off after a crashes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Then another 25. Okay. Then another 20. Okay. And then another five. And then 10 people get back on to check on to see what's going on on the flight. Okay. And then five get off.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And then five get off again.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. Okay. So where do you bury the survivors?

[A]

You don't bury survivors.

[B]

Yes, that's the answer.

[A]

I got it last second.

[B]

That's really good. But when that question starts, I know that that question's happening when someone goes, a plane crashes on the border of. Natalie got that question. And I was so jealous. I wanted to yell. You don't just embarrass them. I don't bury them.

[A]

It don't bury.

[B]

David, please. David, please, please stop. For you. So I participated in that. Just hoping I get that question. But I got that feeling. Dumb Candy one. And this nine year old behind me, literally, she was nine years old. She raised her hand and apparently she knew. I don't know if she was fed from another family member or she genuinely knew that answer.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So I got beat on that. Oh, I. On the last pot. I don't know if you heard, but.

[A]

We talked about Ilya's videos or we.

[B]

Talked about Ilya's videos, but we also talked about the dart idea being like a repetitive thing. Yeah. What's your opinion on it? First?

[A]

Um, I mean, I love that idea. That's great.

[B]

Are you like fucking priming me right now? Are you like waivers priming me?

[A]

No, no, I don't. I don't have any skin in the game. I mean, what's wrong with that idea?

[B]

Well, nothing, but I got like a very mixed response on that idea. And this is kind of the general cons. This is one dm.

[A]

What did they say?

[B]

But okay, after listening to the last podcast, I feel the need to say this. Your dart videos are great, don't get me wrong, but some of your best videos. Are you hanging around the house with your friends, making jokes, doing pranks, keeping it simple? Think local and simple. You guys are hilarious. Let that shine. I feel as if the dart videos are nearing too close to just regular YouTube travel videos. We will be thrilled with whatever you decide to make. Keep up the great work. Love you, brother.

[A]

The problem with the dart video is.

[B]

I'll tell you the problem with the fucking staying here and doing things. It's.

[A]

It's. Taylor orders food around 12 o' clock and then old Dave gets full and doesn't want to do anything.

[B]

It's just the comfort here is astounding.

[A]

Is that why you like to go places? Because you.

[B]

Well, everybody like, everybody's like, even Zane's like, let's shoot. And I'm like, damn. Zayn will be like, let's go shoot more stuff. Do we get enough stuff? Should we go do stuff right when.

[A]

You, when you're, when you're here or.

[B]

When you're, when you're traveling? When you're traveling when you're traveling, it's like everyone's like. Like, we want to make a fun video. And it feels very much like we're like the old vog.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, it's just like. But here, it's like people have lives here. Like, people have, like.

[A]

I guess so. I don't.

[B]

You don't subscribe to that.

[A]

But like, I. I mean, like, I just, I don't think. I mean, I think you and Zane think alike in that you, like, you go away and now you're like, well, there's nothing else to do. Let's shoot. Maybe I don't have to do my podcast. I don't have to do my.

[B]

I also like Jodah comes over here. Right. Just to hang. My instinct isn't to film, to grab the camera.

[A]

I guess there is something about, like, I. But the best thing about the Sweden video wasn't the dart.

[B]

No, no, no. It was just the hanging out.

[A]

With the hanging out.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, but that's. That's what I'm saying. I also think, I was thinking a lot of people like that, that message me, that feel that they. That it's not the best idea. Maybe don't understand, like, what, like packaging means.

[A]

Yes, exactly. It's that the darts not important.

[B]

The dart sound important.

[A]

It's just a. It's just a method to get you somewhere.

[B]

It's also a method to describe a video.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For something to be like.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Like the dart series. The dart series. Like, have you watched like that sentence alone?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Weighs a lot when you're talking about people's content. Have you seen his blank series?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Like, it differentiates. It's not anything different from the vlog, but it gives it a different brand. So I think. I don't think people were understanding that. It's still the vlog. It's still exactly the vlog, but it's like it feels like this fresh take on it.

[A]

Have you thought about doing more longer videos? Cause I know you're thinking about that.

[B]

No. A little bit. I don't know. I'm still 50. 50. I think my brain will start processing better when I get back from Madrid.

[A]

Right. I started daily vlogging.

[B]

Excuse me.

[A]

Yeah. I've done 14 days. January, today's the 14th. Today's the 13th. I have. 14th is ready for tomorrow.

[B]

You started daily vlogging?

[A]

Yes, I've done it every day for 14 days.

[B]

Wait, what?

[A]

Just as an exercise, just to be like, I gotta get out there and try and do something. And we've done it. Every day, bro.

[B]

How do you have this much energy?

[A]

I don't know. I did pretty good in Sweden, right? I was like, I had good energy.

[B]

Well, I don't. But I've never been like, jason doesn't have good energy.

[A]

Well, sometimes I don't.

[B]

I'm just confused how you're doing daily.

[A]

Yeah, we were just. David and I just go out every day.

[B]

Wait, how are they doing?

[A]

Terrible.

[B]

Terrible.

[A]

Like, no, they're good. They're good. They're. They're. They're doing fine. Like, you know what's nice is just.

[B]

To see people, like, come back.

[A]

Yeah, just to see people, like, oh, this is awesome. I love this. Like, that's great. We're getting, like, you know, like 50 to 100 comments every video. One video about like 300 comments.

[B]

Damn, you really are doing this.

[A]

I'm doing it every day.

[B]

12, 11.

[A]

I'm gonna do it the whole year.

[B]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[A]

I'm gonna do it the whole year, and I'm gonna see where it takes me. Like, I have to do. I was like, I can't just wait for my TV show, you know?

[B]

Wait, what happened, dude?

[A]

Well, it's. It's.

[B]

It's. Wait, wait, I thought you got $100,000 per episode.

[A]

I didn't.

[B]

I mean, on TikTok. On TikTok. I just saw you post and you're like, if anybody's out there looking to fund a creative project. And I'm like, yep. I fucking knew that.

[A]

That's not what I said. I said I was interested to hear what other people. What your experiences were.

[B]

Oh, you wanted to see if other people got burned.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. We actually got another offer.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

We got two offers.

[B]

Okay. So.

[A]

But you know these things.

[B]

Do you have an offer right now that you could turn the key on and you're good to go?

[A]

But you understand, like, that you have to get a contract. You have to. It goes back and forth. I mean, like, you know that the audience doesn't get that, but I understand. Like, yes, we're doing it. And then it's like, okay, well. And they're. They're getting that deal together. An offer.

[B]

Okay. So it takes a long time. Is there one that's maybe in the works?

[A]

Yes, there's two. Okay, so.

[B]

And what's the next offer? Is it better?

[A]

I don't know. I don't know what either offer is.

[B]

I would say because they're made up and you haven't had enough time.

[A]

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not making it up at all. But I mean, like, that. That. That's what it is. So I said, all right, I gotta do something. And I was like, I don't really.

[B]

Like, who's editing these daily vlogs.

[A]

Me and Naveen. And then if I can get enough, like, if I can get. Make. Get enough money together, I'll hire someone every day. Yeah, but it's not hard. You go to imovie and we just, like, just keep, you know.

[B]

What are you recording on your phone?

[A]

Yeah, we do phone and we do. We do mics. The mics are great. So, like, I can be, like, in.

[B]

In a store, like, whispering.

[A]

Whispering and talking and, like. And I don't know.

[B]

Damn. You're daily vlogging the big 2026.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's impressive.

[A]

I mean, what else could it. What else would I do? I don't have anything else to do. I could do standup, but I won't make any money at standup for a while. So I was like, I gotta do this. And I'm doing it. And it's fun.

[B]

Well, good for you.

[A]

It's good.

[B]

I'm not being like, that's stupid. I just cannot believe you have the wherewithal.

[A]

I don't have a choice. I have the wherewithal and I have nothing at all.

[B]

No. Wow. That's the problem is not that I don't have the wherewithal. It's the fact that I have nothing at all. Oh, dude, that is really funny. Yeah, we should say that for a vlog.

[A]

Yeah, that's really good.

[B]

That's a really funny joke.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Jason, how do you the wherewithal to do all this? Well, the secret is actually nothing at all. Nothing at all. I don't need the money. Oh, that's really good. Okay.

[A]

I'm making $35 a video.

[B]

We're putting that. I'm writing that down. That's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever heard. You're making how much?

[A]

35. You should go daily with me.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, I'll just go fucking kill myself.

[A]

It's so fun.

[B]

You're making $35 a video.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, let me do the math here.

[A]

30 videos a week? A month.

[B]

280Amonth. 280 a week.

[A]

30 times 30 is 900.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

30 a video. Yeah. So 900amonth.

[B]

It's not bad. And that's just compounding.

[A]

So it'll only go up maybe a brand deal today. I heard maybe a Brando.

[B]

So no, you'll probably end up making, like, three, four grand a month.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that'll compound, and that'd be great. Wow. That's crazy. But it's daily. Are you, like, taking out the camera at all times or is it.

[A]

It's more like we're gonna go out and do something. So, like, we went to the art fair, we went to the smorgasbord food festival. We went to a movie premiere. It's like, okay, we're gonna go do this. And. And it's. It's good. Cause it's like, I'm not, like, I'm not, like, harassing people or trying to get my friends in it. It's just me and Naveen, so it's like we're. It's. Whatever we're doing, we cook today.

[B]

Why'd you say harassing people? And you looked right at me.

[A]

I didn't know because I usually harass people.

[B]

Why'd you say, I'm not dragging people to Sweden? Looked right at me.

[A]

No, I love. I love traveling. And I love traveling with you. It's just, like, it's. It's hard to make my own content when we're, like, working on your video. Like, I love working on your video.

[B]

Why do you say that? I sleep for, like, half the time. Like, you could easily go, well, if I.

[A]

If I did. If we were to travel again and I. And I bring Naveen, then it would be. That would be amazing. Because you're right. I. We could go out and do what we're doing.

[B]

It's like, not a lot that I actually shoot. Like, I get pretty tired really easily. I like, if I get one successful bit.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I like, I have this thing where I can't actually get more than two bits in a day. Like, my body won't allow me. My body will just be like, you have enough. You're going to. You're tired. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I've ever died. I don't think I've ever had, like, a day that's, like, where I've gotten too much stuff.

[A]

It's always like, day we were out in Sweden. You. We were in a helicopter. You were on a jet ski.

[B]

Yeah. But as we were shooting that, I didn't think we were getting anything really. Yeah. But then, I don't know. It was all good, but it was. Yeah, it was one of my favorite vlogs because it was, like, very chill.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But, yeah, no, so we have some trips planned. We have. We're doing.

[A]

Going to Madrid Rio. Nice. For what? Carnaval.

[B]

For the vlog. No, after Carnival. I don't want to go during Carnaval because I think it's just gonna be, like, a disaster. It's gonna be so messy.

[A]

Oh, yeah, you said that.

[B]

It's gonna be like. I like when it's, like, when just the locals are out. I don't like going to places when everyone from everywhere is flying into that specific moment. Doesn't feel like true.

[A]

Is Brazil dangerous?

[B]

I mean, is Chicago dangerous?

[A]

One area is.

[B]

Yeah, one area is.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I mean, I don't know much, and could be. This podcast could be clipped.

[A]

Do girls have big butts there?

[B]

Of course.

[A]

Oh, they do. That's not a rumor.

[B]

That's not a rumor.

[A]

It's not?

[B]

No, no, no, no. Interesting. Does Chicago have big butts? I'll fit right in. It's a woman. So we're doing that, and then we're doing Cape Town. Oh, my God, she's gonna be really sick. I think that's, like, in May, and then in April, I'm gonna do Hong Kong. I really like Hong Kong, and I want to make, like, a full pack, like, full package thing from it, because I think Hong Kong is, like, one of the most interesting Asian cities. You know, it's the only city on the 30. Yeah, on the 30. What is called. It's the only time zone that's on, like, a 30. Oh.

[A]

Oh, oh.

[B]

So, like, it'll be 12 here, but it'll be like, 6:30 there.

[A]

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[B]

Really fucking strange.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's why I want to go.

[A]

What is? You've been to Hong Kong?

[B]

I've been to Rio, too, but I haven't been. I haven't made, like, videos about them.

[A]

Why? Why all this travel? I thought you were done traveling.

[B]

Well, I just, like, I. I'm either gonna make videos or I'm not, and I'm not gonna make videos here. I just can't do it.

[A]

You can't?

[B]

No, because it just feels like. It just feels like the same. I don't know. It doesn't. I don't like making. I don't love making videos here. It's just. That's just all it is. It's just tougher. It really is tougher. It's like. It's like when we're all hanging out and going to get drinks or something. I don't want to be filming here. Like, this is. This is now. I have now done this thing, which is. Unfortunately, I've gotten comfortable here, and I'VE now separated my work and play.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And my. My play is just genuinely being at home. And I don't like to.

[A]

Maybe it's time to move.

[B]

Oh, why?

[A]

I don't know if you don't like being in LA working.

[B]

No, I love being in LA living. Like, I've just. I've made this my home now as a. Like and like, an adult home.

[A]

I see.

[B]

I don't know, you know, like, when people come up to, like. You know, when people would be like, turn off the camera and have some fun. This has nothing to do with anything, but, like, I hate when people say that. I hate when people say that.

[A]

Maybe one person has said that to you in your entire life.

[B]

I know, but it just got me thinking about it.

[A]

It isn't one time.

[B]

It is one of the.

[A]

Like, six years ago, someone said, turn off the camera and have some fun. And that has stuck with you more than anything that's happened to you.

[B]

I think it's just, like, the craziest thing ever.

[A]

It's like, well, they don't understand. They don't understand that you are having fun.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, yeah, they don't understand that is your fun.

[B]

But I'm confused. Like, does it look like work from the outside? Like, does it look like I'm slaving away at this video?

[A]

Yeah. Would you tell LeBron to put the ball down and chill out and have some fun? He's having a blast out there.

[B]

Yeah, right. Thank you for comparing me to LeBron. Did you tell Michelangelo to put the brush down?

[A]

Hey, you know what really fires my gourd? When people say zhuzh.

[B]

I don't know people like that.

[A]

Even on TikTok, you never say that. They say zhuzh. No, they'll, like, take your hair. They're like, hey, let me zhuzh it up. Oh, I don't like that word.

[B]

Oh, yeah, I don't love that. I've actually. I've heard that, too. You know what I realized? I don't know the other that I don't really know the other day.

[A]

What?

[B]

There's, like, legends in Hollywood that I don't actually know why they're legends.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So maybe you can explain it to me.

[A]

Go.

[B]

Okay, I'm gonna. I have three from the top of my head. And it's just that. Because they just came up on my, like, okay, okay. And I'm not here to offend anybody. And every time they're on screen and someone goes, who's that? My immediate reaction is always, are you stupid? Yeah, she's a legend.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And I don't even know why I just say it.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Wanda Sykes.

[A]

Wanda Sykes, a legend in comedy.

[B]

Yeah, but like, she's a legend.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

No. Yeah, like when people see her, they're like, that's fucking Wanda Sykes.

[A]

I don't know if. I don't know if I would say she's a legend.

[B]

I got a bigger one, bigger go. This is.

[A]

She's funny.

[B]

This is next level legendary, everybody.

[A]

I don't think Wanda Sykes would say she's a legend.

[B]

Okay, I got another one. Another one. Joe Pesci.

[A]

Kind of a legend.

[B]

I'm not arguing whether or not they are legends. But what does he do?

[A]

Well, he's just been in.

[B]

Who is he?

[A]

He's. He's been in a lot of Scorsese films, in some legendary films and some legendary parts that hold. Hold a lot of meaning.

[B]

Is he Blue Man Group? Not Blue Man Group.

[A]

What?

[B]

Who's the guys? The guys. Who's the guys that have the sunglasses on in the middle of the night?

[A]

Phil Collins in the air tonight, bro.

[B]

The guys with the sunglasses on in.

[A]

The middle of the night? The Blue Man Group. Max Headroom. What, bro?

[B]

The guys who. The sunglasses. They're from Chicago. Cool. Man Group. What the fuck are they calling to? Lose My Mind. Joe Pesci's in it, I think, bro.

[A]

What? What did you eat over in Philippines? Did you get Natalie's food poisoning? What's going on? Blue Man? That's the best slowdown. Let's back up.

[B]

It's 12 o'.

[A]

Clock.

[B]

It's midnight. We have our sunglasses on. Cool. I'm going to look it up and I'm going to fucking cuss you out.

[A]

In Chicago?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Are you talking about a movie?

[B]

You're talking about movie, dude.

[A]

Oh, a movie.

[B]

Chicago movie with guys in sunglasses.

[A]

Blues Brothers.

[B]

Blues Brothers. No, dude. Come on. How did you not know that?

[A]

You said Blue Man Group.

[B]

That's so close.

[A]

No, it's not.

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

It's one word you said blue and blue.

[B]

And that's not Joe Pesci.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, it's Dan Aykroyd. Oh, John Belushi. Another name.

[A]

Italian.

[B]

Okay, okay, okay.

[A]

Jay would say John Belushi is a legend.

[B]

Okay, next one. Queen Latifah. I loved her in that one movie where she's about to die and it's her like. It's like her. She thinks she's about to die.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Lives her life to the fullest. The holiday or something. I don't know. It's so fun.

[A]

You think she's a legend?

[B]

For sure, she's a legend.

[A]

You think so? Okay.

[B]

When Queen Latifah is announced somewhere, it's like, I know. I'm like, oh, my God. I guess so.

[A]

I guess to like. Yeah. To make maybe the music community. She's a legend in the sense of. She's like one of the first artists to do, like, rap that was female.

[B]

How are we not aligning on what our legends here? I don't know.

[A]

Those three guy.

[B]

Those three are. Those three that I listed are full on legends, in my opinion.

[A]

Yeah, you like Wanda Sykes?

[B]

Okay, let me give you another one.

[A]

You don't know Wanda Sykes?

[B]

No, but, like, I know when she's on screen. Like, if, like, Wanda Sykes asked to do my vlog. Yeah. I'd be like, yo, Jason, Wanda Sykes just asked me to do it. To do my vlog?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think it's, like a very huge deal.

[A]

Oh, okay. Okay. I didn't even think you knew who Wanda Sykes was.

[B]

No, I don't. That's the thing. I just know that she's a legend.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

All right, give me one person. I'll tell you.

[A]

A legend. Yeah, a legend. Julia Roberts, a legend.

[B]

Why?

[A]

She's been in countless box office movies. She's made so much money.

[B]

She's the Brad Pitt of actresses, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah. For a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She had a crazy run.

[B]

She's. Because I just saw she got a standing ovation at the Golden Globes and. Okay.

[A]

Crazy run.

[B]

Definitely legend.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Give me a male artist.

[A]

DiCaprio.

[B]

Well, yeah. Legend.

[A]

The legend. Scorsese.

[B]

I actually don't think DiCaprio's, like, hit that status yet, because he's not. I don't think he's old enough. I think he's, like, still in his. Like, he's still in his prime a little bit.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Right. So, like, I don't think he's like.

[A]

I guess. I guess that's right.

[B]

He's obviously. People say he's the greatest actor of all time, but nobody like. Like, I just feel like Queen Latifah's been doing it longer where it's like.

[A]

But they're probably the same age.

[B]

Really? Yeah.

[A]

I agree with you, though.

[B]

Usually when you become a legend, you have to go further away from your prime. Yeah.

[A]

You got to be 70 years old to be a legend usually.

[B]

And I think Leo's still kind of cooking. Yeah. So, okay.

[A]

Did you see all the lip reading that he's faced with?

[B]

Yeah. It's really funny.

[A]

It's crazy.

[B]

Yeah. What's crazy is that he was talking like that.

[A]

Whatever. Just the fact that people will lip read you. Like the guy who goes out and then like, someone can, like, say someone is saying what you're saying.

[B]

Well, on the gold website, the crazy part, I'm pretty sure you could. You could stare at any camera angle the entire time.

[A]

What do you mean? Oh. Oh, really? Oh, you can flip cameras.

[B]

Yeah. So really, you could sit on someone's table the entire.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're kidding.

[B]

Yeah. So you're fully on camera no matter what. Oh, wow.

[A]

What a world.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

I think it's been like that for like a couple years.

[A]

Someone made this TikTok today. They were like, they were defending Leo. They were like, like, the reason you don't fucking know anything about this guy is he's an actor. He's the greatest actor of our generation. He doesn't want you to know anything about him. It was really good.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that was a really funny joke. Who said that? Who? There was the. It was the woman. Was it Nikki Glaser? Somebody.

[A]

Yeah. Nikki Glaser. Yeah.

[B]

Somebody like went up and did a joke about him, like dating 20 year olds or something.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And she was like, I'm sorry, Leo. Like, I know that was cheap, but we don't know anything fucking about you. And then she quoted something. She's like. She's like, the only thing I know about you is from an interview you did in Teen magazine 30 years ago. And she's like, do you still like pasta? Pasta and more pasta? And Leo goes, yep.

[A]

Did you know that you see the category they had Cinematic and Box Office? That was an award. Cinematic, Cinematic and Box office Best.

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

So it's like sitters won it. It's just like a weird category. It's like, well, which one is it? Is it?

[B]

That's really funny. So it's like, it's like an award for like. You did well. But your. Your movie also was a cheesy yes.

[A]

Yeah, it's a way.

[B]

I guess it's a way.

[A]

If they just did box office, it'd be obvious who won. It would just be right.

[B]

I think it's just like. Yeah, it kind of makes sense. But I could see you putting a negative twist on it.

[A]

Oh, and we didn't win Best podcast.

[B]

I saw that. Yeah. Who won it?

[A]

Amy Poehler.

[B]

Oh, Snoop Dogg announced that too, right?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I think Amy Poehler got.

[A]

I'm not sure what's your podcast called Good Hang?

[B]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, I saw that moment.

[A]

Did you see the Jason?

[B]

That's bullshit. We got snubbed. That's bullshit. Yeah.

[A]

She does video, though.

[B]

Do you think. You think if we did video, you.

[A]

Think Golden Ghost would nominate an audio.

[B]

Podcast, do you think? What if we do? What if we do one year video and we do. The entire theme is Golden Globes. Yeah, we just cater to them all year.

[A]

Yeah. Each episode is each foreign press reporter that votes because, you know, that's who votes. It's the Hollywood Foreign Press.

[B]

That's really the only people who vote each. So each episode we smooze, we bring on these people, we highlight them.

[A]

Yeah, well, that's what the movies do. You know, they'll bring the Hollywood Foreign Press in and they give them all these bags.

[B]

So I'll let them use my sauna in pickleball court.

[A]

Yes, yes. And you'll probably get nominated. We'll probably get nominated.

[B]

Okay, so what's. Let's brainstorm this. So we have a video podcast. Does it have to be Golden Globes themed or. In every episode, we have a member of the Hollywood Foreign. Are they all foreigners?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Nobody's first language is English.

[A]

Some are. They could be from Europe. They could be from England. And their first language. Their first language is English.

[B]

That's interesting. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

You've just got to get.

[B]

All I do is get, like, five of them on, five of them on, and then I think it's gonna snowball into something beautiful. Yeah.

[A]

You know what's really funny was we were at this. We were at this movie premiere, and we ended up talking to this guy who was, like, 85 years old, and he's done sound his whole life on movies. He's a really cool guy. And I asked him, I was like, oh. He's like, I'm in the academy. I'm gonna vote. And he's like, 85. And I was like, oh, are you gonna vote for Timmy Timothy Chalamet, or are you gonna vote for Leo, like, for best actor? And he's like, well, I don't know. I don't know much about Timmy, and I'm not sure. Hadn't seen Leo's movie yet either. Like, no idea. No idea.

[B]

It's funny.

[A]

Like, not. Not. He doesn't watch TikTok and he's voting. So, like, you just don't know who's gonna win.

[B]

Timmy's gonna win. I. I have become a serious Timothee Chalamet. Stan. Oh, he's the best in the last couple years.

[A]

He's the best.

[B]

He's really won me over.

[A]

Someone made the best point, which was if you watch the Bob Dylan movie and you watch the Marty supreme movie, it's two completely different.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Characters. Yeah. It's like, wow. And they're both great, but you're like, wow.

[B]

I just like that he's funny.

[A]

You like that he's funny?

[B]

Yeah. I think, like, funny is like. I think if you're a funny actor and you're a good actor, I think it's just like, you're fucking. You're golden.

[A]

He did so much great press for the movie, too.

[B]

Oh, yeah?

[A]

Yeah. He's working.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's like. He's on top of the sphere. He's doing a prank zoom call. He's, like, really trying.

[B]

He's doing it like they didn't used.

[A]

To have to do that.

[B]

He's doing it like. Like you should be doing it. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to him. You know what? It's fine that we didn't win as long as Timothy won.

[A]

Did you see the bit with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes?

[B]

No. Are they the podcasters? Yeah.

[A]

They came out and they're like. And here they are, the hosts of Smartless, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, and a guy I didn't. Never really cared for, a guy who was never really my thing, Jason Bateman.

[B]

The announcer said that?

[A]

Yeah, announcer said that. So the Bateman starts looking around like, what the fuck?

[B]

That's really.

[A]

And then the other guys are so good at comedy, they go right in. Sean Hayes is, like, deadpan. He's like. And the nominees are. And it was like, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[B]

Hold on. Did you.

[A]

Did you hear that? And then Will Arnett's like, way to go. Make it about you, Jason. It was really good. That's really fucking killer.

[B]

Do you think. Do you think it was scripted or they went off the cuff?

[A]

No, no, it was all scripted.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

But they did it in a way that was, like, really fresh.

[B]

Wow, that's. That's a really funny joke. I've never seen the announcer make a joke.

[A]

Me neither.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

But it was a very, like, vibey Golden Globes. Like, they were. Even when now when people walk to the stage, an announcer comes on and, like, fills the space.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, this Golden Globes felt like old Hollywood. Did you not get that vibe? Like, did you see paparazzi outside of the Chateau?

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, like, people are getting paparazzi. Like, it was like, Like Paris Hilton back in the day.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, it felt like. It felt like, lost. It was like Los Angeles was Los Angeles Ing.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I didn't see anything of it because I was in Dubai, and then I. And I landed, and I was, like, catching up on everything. I was like, interesting. What the fuck happened here? It literally feels like Hollywood was, like, rewoking. I think you need more people. Like, Timmy. I think that'd be so.

[A]

I was just gonna say that I think it is. We're calling him Timmy Young.

[B]

I think Timothy is. What's his real name?

[A]

Timothy.

[B]

Timothy.

[A]

But we call Timmy.

[B]

Timmy's fine.

[A]

I'm sure people call him Timmy.

[B]

Yeah, I think Timmy's the way to do it. No.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Timmy's so cute. I think he's very interesting because why I like him so much is because he doesn't. He is without an ego, but he is confident. Do you know what I mean? Like, he does both very well. You could tell that he's like. He knows that he's doing a good job, and he's trying really hard. And I'm not even referencing his one interview where he said, I want to be the best or whatever. I'm like, just, like, his general, like, aura is like, he. He's very down to earth, but he's also, like. You could tell he's fucking driven. And a lot of actors, I feel like nowadays, especially young ones, are One or the other are like, either, like, too goofy or, like, just way too artistic where it just fucking annoys the living shit out of me.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Like, I think he. I think he does both, really. He reminds me like Natalie Portman, you know, Natalie Portman does classy really well, but she's also just, like, fucking like, a goof, it seems like. Yeah, that's. I don't know. That's. That's kind of the vibe he gives. I could be. I could be wrong. Could be blowing too much smoke up here, but I really like him. All right, guys, that's all the time we have for this pod. I got to go shower, get ready for tomorrow, and I'm off again. Well, actually, I'll do one more Power J before I go.

[A]

What time do you leave tomorrow?

[B]

6Pm Perfect. Thank you guys for joining us. Listening to this podcast, and we'll see you for the next one.
