Picture this. Me, Reese Witherspoon in London, ordering fish and chips so often they might start wrapping me in paper. I'm traveling with my Wells Fargo autograph Journey card, so I earn rewards wherever I book travel five times points with hotels, four times with airlines, three times on restaurants and other travel, and one point on other purchases. Imagine getting rewarded for eating a toad in the hole. Wait, what is a toad in a hole?

And now that you're calm and healing, you're probably driving better too.

[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. We are back with another episode, joined with John and Natalie.

[Natalie]

Hello.

[David Dobrik]

Feeling really good, actually. Shout out to Natalie because we just started recording the podcast.

[Natalie]

Thank you so much. Let's just keep it positive over that.

[David Dobrik]

No, I will. Because we just started recording the podcast and we were only about three minutes in, and Natalie caught that we weren't recording, which is actually like, record timing for one of us to catch that the episode is not being recorded.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So right now this is confirmed. This is being recorded, right? We are live.

[John]

What's the furthest time we've done a full pod.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Without pressing the record button.

[John]

That's crazy, guys.

[David Dobrik]

The worst is, like. The worst is trying to relive those memories again and trying to, like, go

[Natalie]

through and rehash the stories.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, that's. That's the worst. But luckily, we only have to talk about what we talked about the first three minutes. Natalie said some incredibly racist shit. I actually was gonna cut it out

[Natalie]

anyway, so I'm glad we restarted.

[David Dobrik]

Maybe we do. Yeah, Natalie was letting loose. I think she's a little. Little drunk.

[Natalie]

What? We're just making shit up now.

[David Dobrik]

We went to. We got to Miami. We're here with Celsius. We're here for F1. We just posted the Bali vlog, which was really fun. And. And we went to Boca Bash for the first time here in Miami, which, if you don't know what it is. How do I describe it, John? That. I mean, like, it's like 100 boats.

[Natalie]

100 boats. It feels like 500 boats.

[John]

Break. But actually not a spring break.

[Natalie]

Yeah, it was. It's just like. It's like a bunch of college kids and, like, families and stuff, but everybody's boats are docked up in, like. Like, there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of boats all docked up on the sandbar in Boca, and everyone's just blasting their music, drinking, dancing, swimming. Like, it. Like, it was just spring break.

[David Dobrik]

No. Psychotic. Yeah.

[John]

Like, people within a half a mile, you could probably, like, jump from boat to boat without touching the water because.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Like, so. Like, Celsius had this insane setup where it was. They had these, like, three boats. They had, like, a DJ on one of the ends of the boats, and then there was people basically raving underneath the. I don't know how to explain it. You know, like, those. Those, like, contraptions that you set up, like, an obstacle course in the water that's, like, really. The inflatable obstacle course. So Celsius kind of use that as, like, the dance floor. So you had people. I never even really thought about how crazy it is. Like, people are standing in the water, on the water, and as the DJ is DJing off the back of the boat, and it's just crazy. We got there. We got on one boat, and then that next boat took us to the next boat.

[Natalie]

I mean, not even that. They had the inflatable dance floor where they had. They had inflatable pickleball, they had inflatable water slides, they had inflatable volleyball.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I feel like that's normal.

[Natalie]

What? No, that setup was normal.

[David Dobrik]

There's no way that's.

[Natalie]

They set up a mini, like, inflatable

[David Dobrik]

out of all those things. Like, think about it. Logistically, the craziest part was people were just standing and, like, literally, like. Like, they were at a concert off a boat. It felt like we were on land. I know we're in the middle of water.

[Natalie]

Double craziness is all the other things that they had.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I just feel like I've seen, like. Like, volleyball, inflatable and all that. I've never seen people. Like, I've never seen 200 people. They had to cut it off because there was too many people that swam up to it. I think Celsius, like, kind of made it private, but. But you could just swim under the.

[John]

Just literally swim to it, because, like.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's in the water, which is really interesting. It's security on. On every end of, like, the inflatables. Yeah. Which is A funny site, but I think if you just wanted to get in on the inflatables, you'd literally just swim under the boat and you'd kind of pop up in the middle of it.

[John]

Yeah. And the water is, like, not. It's like five and a half feet deep where we were.

[Natalie]

Yeah. You can just walk.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[John]

Yeah, yeah.

[Natalie]

The water you could walk in.

[David Dobrik]

Are you kidding me?

[Natalie]

No. That was the whole thing. Yeah. It's a sandbar.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. People were literally walking to it, like.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I thought we were in, like. Like, like 80 foot water.

[Natalie]

All those people were standing in the water.

[John]

They weren't swimming in the water.

[David Dobrik]

Those people weren't what that pull. Dude. I completely misjudged the situation. That's crazy. I remember when we got there, we had to climb off the Jet Ski and we had to. In order to get to the bigger boat where the party was, we obviously. We had to take multiple boats to get there, and the Jet Ski was like the final little taxi cab to take us over, and it parked next to an obstacle course. And then we had to get off the Jet Ski and climb over the obstacle course. Like, we still haven't gotten wet, and we were on our hands and knees. Like, crawling across in front of a bunch of people really gave me. It gave me the ick.

[John]

That was crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Just thinking about it.

[John]

When I got dropped off, I'm like,

[David Dobrik]

you fell in the water?

[John]

I fell in the water like, four times.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. The absolute course was too much for John to handle.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[John]

It was so slippery and, like, if, like, you had to cross over, like a.

[David Dobrik]

What.

[John]

What is that? Walking? Surf.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yes. Yes. It was almost like a. Almost like an inflatable bed. Yeah. That you had to walk across.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Just floating in the water. Yeah.

[John]

Insane.

[David Dobrik]

But other than that, it was my first Boca Bash experience, and it was fucking incredible. I was blown away. I can't believe people do that. I can't believe. I can't believe, like, if I did that during my high school years. It's crazy how many different ways, like, people celebrate through, like, college and high school. I don't know. I'm trying to think. We didn't do anything exciting like that in high school.

[Natalie]

Well, we lived in the middle.

[John]

No, that wasn't a crazy thing. I've never.

[David Dobrik]

But we didn't have, like, one thing yearly that was like, oh, yeah, everyone. Yes.

[Natalie]

Born in Hills days, brother. And it was legendary.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. We had Color wars, which was really big when. When every class. It's so funny. I don't know if, like, a lot. If every high school is like this, but our school was really competitive when it came to school spirit, which is like.

[Natalie]

No, I think it was you.

[John]

That was just you, bro.

[Natalie]

And then you dragged me into it, just like you throw everything else.

[John]

What color you had to represent? Yellow, Blue.

[Natalie]

It was strictly you.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, really?

[Natalie]

I mean, everyone else, like, got into it, but you were, like, really rallying the troops.

[John]

Who would steal, like, a car?

[Natalie]

Like a.

[John]

Like.

[David Dobrik]

David, did you steal the target for yellow? I brought a yellow vacuum. Do you remember that?

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

There's a ginormous vacuum cleaner. I went to Goodwill, and I was like, I'm gonna buy everything that's yellow. And my total is, like, $30 for that day, which was fucking crazy to spend on a bit at that time.

[John]

You got a bit. It was, bro.

[David Dobrik]

It was live action. It was live action. Vlogs before the vlogs. Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, I don't know. I thought. I thought everyone kind of. It almost felt like the not to, like, glaze myself here, but wasn't. Like, more of the popular kids were into the school spirit rather than, like. No, Nat.

[Natalie]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, so. So what the fuck were you guys making me feel like a weirdo for?

[Natalie]

Well, because you just, like, took it to the next level.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Really? I feel like I was joining, like, a good group. I feel like I was showing them, like, my way that.

[Natalie]

I mean, our grade definitely was super into the school spirit, but.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Are we gonna be distracted by this the whole time, Natalie?

[John]

I mean, it does look so cool. I'm not gonna lie. We have the best fucking view right now in Miami.

[David Dobrik]

It's crazy in Miami. Miami.

[Natalie]

Fucking view.

[David Dobrik]

How are you doing right now? People pulled up to the dock, and there's, like, Lamborghinis and Bugattis shaped like boats. You could drive them in the water, and they just pull up to the dock, and I think everyone just kind of had a brain fart is staring at it. Miami. So fucking cool. We've talked about this on the podcast before, but, like, we're right next to the club where we're staying right now, and we could literally boat to the club and then boat to the after party and boat back home without ever touching a road or a car. I think you can go, like, five, ten miles apart and not have any interaction with any car. I think that's fucking crazy. I think pulling up to somebody's backyard for an after party is the most bizarre thing ever, because it feels like you're sneaking in and there's most of the time, no security there because, like, for some reason, they just trust to the boats because they're like, okay, I mean, yeah, maybe there's no pirates. I don't know. But a very, very. I highly recommend, if you're on Miami, you're trying to sneak into an after party, take a boat, no one will question you, even a small little pontoon, and just swim right up.

[Natalie]

My best friend got married the other day. David was really distressed.

[David Dobrik]

Second or third best friend or fourth? You have me and John sitting right here, so watch your fucking mouth.

[Natalie]

The whole wedding, David was texting me. He's like, where are you? What are you doing?

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what? What are you saying?

[Natalie]

What?

[David Dobrik]

Well, yeah. Cause we were trying to lock in, like, a big brand deal.

[Natalie]

I know, but, like, wait, why?

[David Dobrik]

Why do you think I only texted you, like, four times. Wait, did you really think that that was a lot?

[Natalie]

What? Yes. You were blowing me up like crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Listen, we're doing these new videos that I know the goal was for me not to edit them. And it's the beginning stages of hiring an editor. He's really great, but it's taking. You know, you sell yourself to teach someone to edit, like, in the style that you want the video to be edited. So that's currently what we're doing. So it actually feels right now like I'm editing more. Yeah, a lot of work. More than I was before.

[John]

Well, this is also way more different. Like, these cameras are not just like,

[David Dobrik]

fucking sucks at this.

[John]

It's just like, because I only edit

[David Dobrik]

on imovie, and the footage that we have can't really be edited on imovie. So, like, I'll make a cut on imovie for certain parts of the video, and then I'll give it to our editor and then he'll redo those cuts. Or. Yeah, it's just a pain in the ass. But I think we're. I think we're getting there, like, video by video. I think we're gonna get to the point where I'm not looking at the edit anymore and we're just going and posting. I'm really excited for that. That's a lie, but okay. No, I don't think it's a lie. I think it's pretty good. And what's really good, we said we're gonna post once a week, but we never specified what day, so. And all the comments were like, damn, he posted. Even though I posted eight days later instead of seven, people were like, yeah, he did it. And honestly, I agree. As long as it's within the week, we're good.

[Natalie]

True.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So we're good.

[Natalie]

Keep going. Amen, brother.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, so what were you gonna say about the wedding? What was the problem?

[Natalie]

No, I just wanted to call you

[David Dobrik]

out that I was. That I needed you.

[Natalie]

Yeah. That you're being annoying.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I mean, it's just like trying to

[Natalie]

celebrate my best friend.

[David Dobrik]

No, I get that. I get that. But it was just like a very pivotal moment in what we were doing.

[Natalie]

I'm sorry that the wedding interfered with the vlog.

[Natalie]

You know, I think you have a condition that I'd like to call out.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, good. See, this is where I thought you were going with this.

[Natalie]

Where I wanted to go originally, but I pivoted. Okay. It's called trichotillomania.

[David Dobrik]

Trichotillomania.

[Natalie]

Can you guess what that is?

[David Dobrik]

Trichotillomania. That I need, like two or more people with me at all times or I need the approval of two or more people. What?

[Natalie]

I said, that's just codependency.

[David Dobrik]

Is this like a medical condition or

[Natalie]

is this a medical condition?

[David Dobrik]

Like, psychological or like, like.

[Natalie]

No, it's just. It's a thing like my neurons.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I guess it's psychological, like my blood vessels or. What do you mean?

[Natalie]

No. Okay, so it's a behavioral, like, thing that you do where someone has the urge to pull, twist, or play with their hair, like, incessantly. You do this all the time. And it grosses me out because I hate hair, as we know.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, this has nothing to do with me texting you multiple times?

[Natalie]

No, totally separate.

[David Dobrik]

Trichophobia.

[Natalie]

Trichotillomania.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, go.

[Natalie]

So you do this thing with your hair where you, like, you pull like, one little strand and you twist it, like, tight. And that's actually a condition. I was looking at it. This came up on my TikTok.

[David Dobrik]

I don't even know that I do that.

[John]

Yeah, I don't even think. I've never really.

[Natalie]

You've never seen him do it? He does all day, every day.

[David Dobrik]

I only do it. Like, I only grab my hair when I don't. Like an edit.

[Natalie]

That's not true.

[David Dobrik]

So when I'm watching, I saw it

[Natalie]

on TikTok and I was like, oh, wow, this is like an actual thing. And David does this all the time.

[David Dobrik]

I don't. I don't. I don't actually know what you're talking about.

[Natalie]

I'll record you next time you do it because you do it every day.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Natalie]

I mean, you obviously don't realize it.

[David Dobrik]

Is it during certain moments, like, is something.

[Natalie]

You just did it in the beginning of the podcast.

[John]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

Cause I probably was pissed because you were here.

[Natalie]

I mean, that's fair, but unfortunately, you have to deal with me every day, so.

[David Dobrik]

That's true. John, what's. This is John's first time in Miami. What's your first impression, John?

[Natalie]

This is your first time in Miami?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, we've been talking about this all the fucking trip.

[Natalie]

I don't think I was there.

[John]

Yeah, it's the first time.

[David Dobrik]

What do you think?

[John]

It's hot. It's really humid. It's like, Philippines.

[Natalie]

Yeah. And it's very.

[David Dobrik]

Why? It confuses me when you talk about humidity. So weird. I mean, like, you're from a place that's like, I love the Philippines. This should be, like, prime, dude. What? You love Philippines because of the food?

[John]

Yeah, dude.

[David Dobrik]

But your body should be thriving in this heat. No, like, seriously, like, you're like. This is like Superman going back to Krypton. Well, actually, that's probably worse for him, but. Wow. This is your kryptonite. Philippines is your kryptonite.

[John]

Yeah, it's just, like, the humidity and everything. And usually in the Philippines, I'm always inside anyways.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know why you say that. Why you said that about Filipinos. Because you're always like, filipinos hate the sun.

[John]

Yeah, they do.

[David Dobrik]

And then we went to the Philippines. A bunch of people were outside because

[John]

they had to be outside for that specific moment, but if they didn't have to, they would choose not to.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like I understand you're Filipino and you're allowed to talk about your people, but I feel like you're making a big generalization there, bro.

[John]

Check your DMs after this podcast.

[David Dobrik]

Filipino. I don't know what he's talking about. Like, I have to. That's right.

[John]

We hate the song.

[David Dobrik]

They're gonna be like, hey, I'm Filipino and I live in Miami,

[Natalie]

and I love it.

[David Dobrik]

I'm in a big Miami community here where we visit Philippines during the hottest time because we love it. I don't know. I think. I think Miami, if Los Angeles didn't exist, I think I'd be here. I just don't. I don't see another place that I would like. I just love. I think the roads are open.

[John]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Other than when they're not, I think, like. I think there's a good. Like, a good mix of like. Like, you really feel like you're on the freeway. You got a lot of room. And then there's also congested streets. Where in la. You don't really get that in la. It's like, it's the same street no matter what side you're on. The Valley or Hollywood. It's like pretty congested. The streets are slower. Yeah, I don't know, I just like it. I love the bridges here. There's these fucking half a mile long bridges.

[John]

You know what you don't miss? You don't see any mountains around here.

[David Dobrik]

And I will say I actually don't like the view of the water. What?

[John]

That's what makes it so much better.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's cool to access the water, but I'd rather look at like a cityscape with the mountains in the back. Like what we have at home.

[John]

I like water.

[David Dobrik]

I just feel like there's no. Like when I look at the city in la, I'm like. I feel like motivated and I feel connected. And here I feel weirdly disconnected and not like a. We're also maybe in a vacate. Vacation.

[Natalie]

Vacation. Yeah. It's like you're relaxed, you're at peace. You're not like in the hustle and bustle, you're at the ocean. It's like.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know, I don't even use the word disconnected properly. I use it like. I'm like. I've like been like exiled from society and I'm like.

[Natalie]

That's what's nice.

[John]

At the dock. I was fishing out there for like four hours yesterday.

[David Dobrik]

I know. That's fucking psychotic.

[John]

It was such a beautiful view, even though it's dark.

[David Dobrik]

John, you're going to soon your year contract with us.

[John]

I know.

[Natalie]

Wait, really? When?

[John]

I have no clue.

[David Dobrik]

August? Yeah. What are you thinking? Are you going to go back or do you want to keep working here?

[John]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I really don't know. What do you mean? We'll walk you through it.

[John]

Well, are you going to be vlogging still?

[David Dobrik]

We'll see. We'll see how the. The vlogs go up until July. Right now I'm really liking the new style and people are really digging it. So it's looking good. Yeah. Wait, I mean, we'd still have a job for you even if I wasn't vlogging? Probably even more so. What?

[John]

You do absolutely nothing if you're not vlogging.

[David Dobrik]

No, I know, but then you'd have to like work harder on vibes. We'd have to hang out more. So to pull you out of work would be worth it for me. What are you thinking?

[John]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

What do you miss about. What do you miss about your old job that you don't get here.

[John]

Knowing what you're gonna be doing.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[John]

You know, there's some. There's a beauty to knowing what you're gonna do tomorrow to not knowing at all what you're doing tomorrow.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. I totally get that. Like, there's. Yeah. Like, you had a schedule.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And you knew that after 6pm you're off work.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay, that's nice.

[Natalie]

Well, you could make a schedule.

[John]

No, no. I mean, like, I didn't hear about Miami until like two days before.

[David Dobrik]

Two days before.

[John]

But what.

[David Dobrik]

What are the perks of this job? Let's start there, because I actually. I know everything that you miss about your old job. What do you like about this job? When people ask you what do you do for a living?

[John]

Yeah.

[Ilya]

Do people.

[David Dobrik]

Do people ask you that? Yeah. What do you say?

[John]

I literally told scan I'm like a production assistant. That's what I called myself. I had to give myself. I'm like. I'm like, I can't be David. Like, because I think I. He asked me also, like, do you just introduce yourself as, like, David's roommate? I'm like, yeah, I did. Because it depends on who I'm talking to.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Yes. Okay. So you want to give yourself a more professional title?

[John]

No, I don't really care about titles.

[David Dobrik]

Well, you came up with production assistant.

[John]

Well, yeah, that's just because I barely

[David Dobrik]

tell you ruin your director, huh? I'm director.

[John]

Yeah, I know the director.

[David Dobrik]

I'm head of. I'm head of all direction at David Edward. I mean, you could really make up a name. None of us would ever fact check you or care. You'd be like, I'm David's manager. I'm president of David llc.

[John]

Yeah. I'm going to see what I'm going to write on my resume is going

[Natalie]

to be like, please don't say that, because then people will be like, what. What's going on over there? This is the president.

[John]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

Natalie.

[Natalie]

I'm kidd.

[David Dobrik]

All right, go. What's the positives? Go.

[John]

Positives.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John]

You definitely get a lot more free time than a normal nine to five, Right?

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[John]

For sure.

[Natalie]

I feel like you get to play video games during the day.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, you, like, always are playing video games.

[John]

Okay? Not always.

[David Dobrik]

Relax, John. There was a big. Alex, our other roommate, brought down John's table to dj. We had like, a little afterparty for a Celsius thing, and he was DJing in the corner on it. And the next day, he never put the table back into John's room. And it was a noticeable difference of how much I was seeing John. I saw John the entire day downstairs because he couldn't go upstairs to play video games because his table was gone.

[John]

Well, I also needed my table because I was doing stuff for Ilya.

[David Dobrik]

No, I understand that, but it was

[Natalie]

just often throughout the day. Are you thinking about the video games

[David Dobrik]

like you have an addiction? Like a proper addiction?

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's actually weird.

[John]

That is not true. This is not true.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, John, that's not true. If you're logging on during the day when you have, like an extra 30 minutes, that's an addiction.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Yeah. When you're. When you're like, when you have two things to do.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And there's time in between.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And you do multiple times a day throughout. Like, through multiple days throughout the week. I think that's considered. That would be an addiction. You're.

[John]

I'm just time managing.

[Natalie]

No, if you're thinking about it multiple times a day, it is an addiction.

[David Dobrik]

How many times would you say you log on to that game a day on average? He plays Arc Raiders, by the way. Go over.

[John]

Go, go, go.

[David Dobrik]

John, give me a number, quick.

[John]

Say, like an hour and a half.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, but how many different moments is that?

[John]

How many different moments?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Is that one go? Or do you spread that out through three different times?

[John]

Yeah, I'd spread it out depending on where I'm needed.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. That, and then saying no.

[John]

How is that insane? I'm just like, if.

[David Dobrik]

Julia.

[John]

I just know. I'm like, all right, from. From 6 to 10, it's either we're going to be watching a movie or we're going to be doing something. So I'm going to be required to go downstairs.

[David Dobrik]

But you love it so much. We're like. We'll all be hanging out as if, like, all the friends will be like, down in the living room, we just watched a movie, we're debriefing, and John is just waiting to fucking leave. Like, itching so hard. That is. Dude, you sit there. Well, we'll all be talking and you'll go. You'll go. Okay. That's how. That's how you know he's about to leave. He goes, all right, all right. You with one of those. It's like, all right. Like, I think we've hung out enough. Yeah.

[John]

I mean, yeah, dude. After watching movies for four hours. I mean, I would. Yes, I would want to get up.

[David Dobrik]

I get it. I get that. I have a really tough regiment for hanging out sometimes, but your girlfriend's on My side about it, actually. She loves doing that.

[John]

It's like.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I know. Why don't you love watching movies?

[John]

I do. I do love watching movies with you guys. It's just for. There's a limit to how many hours of movies we could. We could watch.

[David Dobrik]

It's not even that even. We're just hanging and playing Imposter.

[John]

You're like, I got it.

[David Dobrik]

I gotta get the fuck out of here.

[John]

Cuz we've been playing imposter for three hours.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, dude. You know, we should do. We should play imposter right now on the pod with the three of us. Okay.

[John]

Impossible.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's imposterable. So we have.

[Natalie]

Guys, that's not even like fun.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, let's just try it. We have a third person here. You can give us a word. You could point to the imposter. Okay, guys, Zane is gonna come up with a word for imposter. And then the rest of us are gonna try to find out who the imposter is. I want to see if this works on a podcast. So basically how you play imposter is let's say the word is dog, right? There's four of us, three of us know the word, and one of us is an imposter that doesn't know the word. Okay, and you're trying to guess who doesn't know the word. You're trying. And as an imposter, you're trying to fool the other people into thinking that you do know the word. And you go around the room and you each say one word that's loosely associated with the word. So John will go. So it's dog. So John will go rap. And that will be referencing Snoop Dogg. Like we'll know. But then pastor will be like, rap. What does that mean?

[Ilya]

Promising Nobody.

[Natalie]

No.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ilya]

And David claims he's the king of imposter.

[John]

Why couldn't you start easy like pause or something?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, that or 20 toes.

[Ilya]

Because no one would have known that word, bro.

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean no one would have known that word? Nobody.

[Natalie]

I would have been like spot.

[David Dobrik]

Great. That's amazing. Yeah, spot's a good word. Okay, Zane's coming with the word. Okay, the word is. There's no word. Everybody's imposter.

[Natalie]

Okay? Everybody close your eyes.

[David Dobrik]

And then you one by one. Are you ready?

[Natalie]

Who's.

[John]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. Deadass. Guys, I am also self proclaimed champion of imposter.

[Ilya]

So actually not.

[John]

Taylor, you're actually not yet.

[Ilya]

Taylor kind of mid.

[Natalie]

Taylor is actually queen of impossible.

[David Dobrik]

Taylor is Queen of imposter. But she's not here right now, so that puts me at second place. Okay, okay, wait.

[Natalie]

But I don't.

[David Dobrik]

What? Okay, you don't know the word What? Were you not tapped?

[Ilya]

Cause you're the imposter.

[David Dobrik]

Were you not tapped?

[Natalie]

No. No, no, no, no.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Natalie]

What?

[David Dobrik]

Did you just admit that you're imposter?

[Natalie]

I don't understand the setup of this, what we're doing. I'm sorry.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, let's start with words. Who wants to go first? I think Natalie should go.

[Natalie]

Well. Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Go

[Natalie]

[Ilya]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

So that's far. That's not far.

[Natalie]

Whatever.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. That's not far.

[John]

I mean, if the imposter, you know.

[Natalie]

No, but whatever. It's fine. Shall I go closer?

[John]

Yes.

[Natalie]

Okay. I'm gonna say YouTube.

[Natalie]

What do you mean?

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean? What do you mean?

[John]

What do you mean?

[Natalie]

Let him do his last word.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, go. Final word.

[John]

Damn. Okay. Wall.

[Natalie]

Nice.

[David Dobrik]

Right on.

[Natalie]

Way to go far.

[Ilya]

I think it's David.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. I think. I still think it's nat. And I think she got lucky with the first word because she wasn't. She's a travel. Yeah, but she got tapped. My vote's nat.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[John]

I think it's also not you, but.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

What was Elliot's first word?

[David Dobrik]

I don't remember. Spirit.

[Natalie]

Sprinter.

[David Dobrik]

Sprinter.

[Natalie]

And your first word was?

[David Dobrik]

I don't remember. Early.

[Natalie]

Early travel. Early sprinter.

[John]

So do we just Early?

[David Dobrik]

Yes. Don't. Don't turn this on me, you little psycho.

[Ilya]

Should we vote?

[Natalie]

I mean. Okay.

[David Dobrik]

All right, let's go. Three, two, one. Natalie. You. Now you're voting me?

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Who was. Were you it?

[Natalie]

Yes, I was.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, everybody was imposter. Yeah. Oh, my God. You're a dick. That was gonna be so hard.

[Natalie]

Wait. That was crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Wow. What the. Wow. We all were like, yeah. Yeah.

[Natalie]

Bourbon.

[John]

You're getting too close.

[David Dobrik]

God damn it, Zane.

[John]

Okay, I haven't.

[Ilya]

Wait, that's one off of Natalie's word, then.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Natalie said travel. Early sprinter. 7.

[Colgate Advertiser]

It's funny.

[David Dobrik]

They're all imposter, but John's guess was still stupid.

Damn, that's crazy. I just made that.

[David Dobrik]

Ilya has now joined us here on the trip. How you feeling about this weekly vlog thing? Do you think we can do it? How many. How many weeks you think we got left till we break our streak of being consistent?

[Ilya]

Well, you already broke it.

[David Dobrik]

No, I didn't break it.

[Ilya]

Hey, did you really posted on Tuesday? Yeah, but that's not weekly anymore.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, I said new vlog every week. So every week, Monday through Sunday, it just has to be a different stretch of it. Okay. Do you know what I mean?

[Ilya]

Yeah, you're just like.

[David Dobrik]

Like right now I'm good till I could post Monday, but I. Or I could post next Sunday. Sunday. Okay.

[Ilya]

Yeah, that's good.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, but it'll probably be. The post will go up Mondays. That's the goal.

[Ilya]

How am I feeling about it?

[David Dobrik]

Like, are you having fun?

[Ilya]

Yeah, I mean, I. I can tell that you're not having fun, though. You're very stressed.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, well, I've actually been having a lot more fun.

[Natalie]

We're having fun. Like, it's actually funny because we are incredibly stressed. But I. But it's been a kind of a Different kind of stress.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's different. It's not like. It's like, it's.

[Natalie]

Were staying up all night till like 6, 7 in the morning. Trying to edit last night.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, no, no, no. It's. It's.

[Natalie]

And like, screaming, like, at each other,

[David Dobrik]

and it's a lot of streaming. I can't hear.

[Natalie]

But it's not. It's not real.

[David Dobrik]

It's. It's. It's also not like, it's just nice to do stuff like, once a week, like, to. It's just nice to, like, have a purpose, I guess.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I agree.

[Ilya]

How do you feel about it?

[David Dobrik]

I. I like it a lot.

[Natalie]

I'm glad that Ilia joined us now because I have a question for you guys. And actually this is like the perfect thing to ask with you being here.

[David Dobrik]

Is it about sex?

[Natalie]

It is about sex.

[David Dobrik]

I hate how you always wait for Ilya for that kind of stuff. Why don't you think that I am.

[Natalie]

Like, I would, but it was you and John. I know John doesn't like.

[John]

I don't like it.

[David Dobrik]

John, can you just, like, talk about sex just a little bit? Like, you know, I mean, maybe John's

[Natalie]

opinion could be valid here too.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Natalie]

Okay, so let's say this is a hypothetical scenario.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Obviously it has not happened to you.

[Natalie]

Obviously. Alleged, let's say that you are hooking up with somebody. I'm a woman. Put yourself in my shoes. What?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay. Looking up, like, sex or.

[Natalie]

No, it can be anything.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, sorry. And like, what is this alleged person wearing?

[Ilya]

Dude, please.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry, sorry.

[John]

Yeah, bro, please. Let her set it up.

[Natalie]

Okay, so let's say you are hanging out with some guy at a bar, whatever, you go back to his place. You guys are like, hookup vibes are there, right?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

But then you start hooking up and you're like. You kind of like, are like, I'm not feeling this either way. I guess it could go either way. That you could be a guy not feeling it or you could be a girl not feeling it. But, like, how do you get out of that scenario?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, this has happened to me.

[Ilya]

It's happened to me too.

[John]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure it's happened to

[Ilya]

everybody, but it's like, crazy story, actually.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know why. Yeah. What is. What happened?

[Natalie]

Wait, give me the advice first and then we'll go to the story.

[Ilya]

Allegedly, I actually don't have good advice. I just, like, panic and I'm like, I'm sorry. I, like, make something up. I'm like, I have a headache. Can't do this.

[David Dobrik]

Well, you always have to set up. You have to set yourself up for that ahead of time. And girls do this better than anybody.

[Natalie]

Like, what?

[David Dobrik]

They always say they have an early morning. Yeah, you always say that. And then you can. You can leave at any point in time, whether it's good or bad. And then if it's really good, you're just like, triple flattering the person by being like, it's fine. I'll just call. I'll tell them I'll be there later.

[Ilya]

When Natalie's saying is, like, if you're. I assume what you're asking is, like, if you're mid makeout and you're, like, not feeling. You can't be like, I have early morning.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, like, just pulling away.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

That second.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh. You go to the bathroom and you say your girlfriend texted you. Right.

[Natalie]

What if they're at your place?

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean? Your girl. You. I've.

[Natalie]

And you leave your own home. My girlfriend text me, I have to leave my own home.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. Yes, yes. I mean, that's. That's happened to me. Especially when we were vlogging. It was a lot easier. I remember this one specific time.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I was. I was hooking up with a girl, and I really didn't want to, and I was like, oh, my God. I literally use Zayn as an excuse. I said, zayn is at Saddle Ranch. All my friends are there and they're getting drunk. I have to go. I have to go to work.

[Ilya]

No nap.

[David Dobrik]

That's, like, really hard.

[Ilya]

I actually don't think anybody can give you good advice. Like, when you're there, you.

[Natalie]

What?

[John]

You're a girl.

[David Dobrik]

You could literally leave whenever, but it's

[Natalie]

so incredibly uncomfortable because, like, that person is gonna feel so insecure.

[David Dobrik]

Fuck. Would you stay there and hook up with someone you don't want to?

[Ilya]

Yeah. There's no easy.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you're saying. It's like you're hooking up with someone all of a sudden. Like, their breath is really bad, and

[Natalie]

you're like, yeah, something like that.

[David Dobrik]

I can't actually continue this.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Like, vibes are. Went from 100 to zero, and you're like, I can't.

[David Dobrik]

So that happened to you? No, I mean, when did it happen? Recently.

[Ilya]

Dude. Okay, hold on. Do you remember in Paris when I. That girl came over.

[David Dobrik]

Oh.

[John]

And she.

[Ilya]

Oh. Oh, she looked nothing like the Instagram photos. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I do remember. Wait, what happened?

[Ilya]

She looked nothing like the photo.

[David Dobrik]

Like a eyedropper. Yeah.

[Ilya]

Like, I mean, AI wasn't even like a thing back then. It was more just probably Photoshop.

[Natalie]

But okay, like, what didn't she, like. Like, the hair color was different.

[Ilya]

He was a completely different person.

[Natalie]

Completely different person.

[Ilya]

Yeah. And I, like, didn't want to be rude to her, so I was like. I was texting David on the side. I was like, can you please call me and say that there's a work emergency? So he FaceTimes. And he goes, hey, dude, so this Dobrik's contract needs to be sent right now.

[John]

Did I really say that?

[David Dobrik]

What did you say?

[Ilya]

And I'm like, oh, I see my partner's calling me. I have to go. It's an emergency.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God.

[Ilya]

And what made it worse is she was fucking. She spoke Russian. So, like, I immediately had this weird connection with her. And then I didn't know, like, what to say. I was like, yeah, Wait, could you

[David Dobrik]

hook up with a Russian girl?

[Ilya]

What do you mean? Like, oh, like, would I be into it? Yeah, I was actually talking to. I was talking to Emma about this yesterday.

[David Dobrik]

You were talking to your girlfriend? You be capable of hooking up with a Russian girl?

[Ilya]

Yeah, well, I was telling her. I was like, I don't think I'd be able to, cuz it'd be like hooking up with my mom.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, totally.

[Natalie]

You know, so.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, I've met girls out that are, like, very, very pretty.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And like, there's been a time where. Where like, a girl tried flirting with me in my. In Slovak. And I'm like, oh, this is like, completely the opposite way of, like, flirting. For me, this is like. This, like, it, like, freaks me out, like, completely. Like, it's like my parents are talking to me.

[Ilya]

Yeah, 100%.

[David Dobrik]

It's even been to the point I can't watch anything on porn that's European.

[Ilya]

Yeah, I've tried that. I can't.

[David Dobrik]

It freaks. John, you've watched Filipino porn all the time. Jason.

[John]

Take that, Jason.

[David Dobrik]

Keep that in. Fucking Jason.

[Colgate Advertiser]

Replay that shit.

[Ilya]

Jason. Cut that shit up. As an Instagram.

[David Dobrik]

It's just like. Because all I know is that, like, it just reminds me of family and that's all I'm thinking about.

[Ilya]

Yeah, I mean, it's. It's so weird how that it only affects people like you and I, but, like, if we just grew up in that culture, it'd be completely fine. Isn't that weird? Yeah, like, I'm saying, like, if we grew up in that country, it'd be fine.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, yes. But I think it's because, like, I've separated. Like, my parents.

[Ilya]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

My parents are all of Europe. In my head, like, they are European, and then America is like this. What?

[John]

That's a crazy blanket.

[David Dobrik]

I know. Not all of Europe. I'm just saying anything Easter. E. Like, Eastern European.

[Natalie]

So what do you guys recommend? I do hate him.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God, John, right now. What are you talking about?

[Ilya]

Hit him in the face.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, just punch him.

[Ilya]

Punch him, bro.

[David Dobrik]

No, I don't like how your toes are pointed right at me, bro.

[Natalie]

You just had your dick in my face, so give me a break.

[Ilya]

His dick was not in your face, literally.

[David Dobrik]

Why are you.

[Natalie]

Yes, it was.

[David Dobrik]

What kind of a crazy accusation is that right now?

[Natalie]

I can just tell by the way you're saying this that you know what I'm saying is factual.

[David Dobrik]

My dick was in your. When did that happen? That make. You're making it sound like we were hooking up.

[John]

Guys, as a news reporter here, where did.

[David Dobrik]

It was my dick in your face?

[Natalie]

It was in my face.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, right now. During the pod.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Well, don't make it sound like that. My friends are gonna think we're.

[Natalie]

No, they're not.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Dude, you know what the scariest part is? I know we joke about us hooking up a lot, but, like, when people. When people genuinely think it.

[Ilya]

Dude, I got this loss.

[Natalie]

So scary. Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

So.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God. Worst thing in the world. So bad.

[David Dobrik]

Are you being. Are you.

[Natalie]

I'm kidding.

[David Dobrik]

There's, like, far worse things in the world. Oh, my God. You know, obviously, like, it's just, like. It's bizarre to me.

[Ilya]

No, there are people that still think that you guys are genuinely in love. Genuinely.

[David Dobrik]

And I get confused when someone's like, you'll end up with that person. I'm like, I. I guess maybe nobody's had a relationship.

[Ilya]

No, from the outside, it does make sense. 100. But, like, they also don't see your, like, other stuff that you go through,

[David Dobrik]

like, day to day.

[Ilya]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Like what. What's.

[Ilya]

Specify when you blow him and vice versa.

[David Dobrik]

What? What were you gonna say?

[Ilya]

Nothing.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. The best podcast ever.

[Natalie]

My friend. My friend.

[Ilya]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You say anything? No, I just want to make sure

[Ilya]

no one has anything to say. We're all good.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. What?

[Natalie]

This past weekend, when I was at that wedding, there was a lot of, like, old friends that I haven't seen in from since childhood, and one of my girlfriends from camp, I won't name who it was, but she was telling me this story about how she was, like, in the bathroom or whatever one Day she was going to the bathroom and she looked down at her underwear and the tag had in Sharpie nm, the NM initials on it. Because when I went to camp I would put Sharpie. My mom would put Sharpie NM on all my underwear.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, your initials.

[Natalie]

My initials, yeah. So she had my underwear from camp, but I haven't been to camp like over 10 years.

[Ilya]

Maybe she just.

[David Dobrik]

Excuse me.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

What does that mean?

[Natalie]

You like she's still wearing the underwear, My underwear.

[Ilya]

You look down at her time out,

[David Dobrik]

she still fits in the same underwear from oh, I guess 10 years.

[Natalie]

Yeah, you're like 15.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, wait, wait. Girls keep underwear that long?

[Natalie]

I don't know how she's kept it for that long.

[David Dobrik]

10 year old underwear. Is that not kind of crazy underwear?

[Natalie]

It's insane.

[David Dobrik]

We're all like girl underwear can rip easier, right?

[Natalie]

100%. I don't know how she's still wearing them. I don't know how they haven't like, like just even from washing disappeared free of disappeared. But she was telling us this story like so confidently, confidently and we were like, we should probably just throw those away.

[David Dobrik]

That's crazy. The Sharpie didn't even wash away.

[Natalie]

I know.

[David Dobrik]

I have a couple of your underwears from, from when we were kids and. Yeah.

[Natalie]

You still wearing them?

[Ilya]

I wear underwear all the time.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Ilya]

I think I'm wearing it right now.

[David Dobrik]

Well, we wear our each other's underwear because of the cleaners. Mix and match them up.

[Natalie]

Yeah, you guys should label.

[David Dobrik]

Wait a minute. We don't live any together anymore. Have you been coming in my room?

[John]

No.

[David Dobrik]

This is, this is interesting. This is a real poll that ran on Twitter. This is. The options are red or blue. And the question is everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who press the red button survive. Which button would you press?

[Natalie]

Sorry? If all, if less than 50% press blue, then everybody that pressed red survives.

[David Dobrik]

Correct.

[Natalie]

I mean the obvious choice is to press blue.

[David Dobrik]

Correct.

[John]

I would press blue.

[David Dobrik]

You press blue.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I'll press blue too. The final result. 98,000 people voted. 58% of people chose blue, 42% chose red. Whoa, 42. Because red is a win, win. So red you win no matter what.

[John]

Right?

[David Dobrik]

Like think about it. Maybe if your life was on the line, you vote differently.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Red you win no matter. Red you win no matter what. But you fuck up the blue vote. That's all that happens.

[Natalie]

Everybody.

[David Dobrik]

Correct.

[Natalie]

But everyone that's red wins.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but like, psychologically, it's kind of like.

[Natalie]

So now what happens?

[David Dobrik]

Do you trust the human race? Because you could actually kind of rally everyone to do both. Because you could just be like, everyone red. If you vote red, everyone will live. Everyone vote red. Everyone vote red. Right. Doesn't that make more sense than trying to rally everyone to vote the blue?

[Natalie]

I mean, blue is, like, guaranteed and the red is like blue is. They don't.

[David Dobrik]

No, blue's not guaranteed.

[John]

Yeah, red is guaranteed.

[David Dobrik]

Red's guaranteed if less than 50 of people press the blue button. Only people who press the red button survived.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I know, but, like, if everybody just presses blue, then we're good.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, but that's you counting on everyone to press blue.

[John]

Yeah, like, you can't trust.

[David Dobrik]

You can't trust everybody, so trust everyone. So, like, the dilemma is, like, you have a family, you have kids. Are you going to choose blue?

[Natalie]

So what happens?

[David Dobrik]

And hope humanity all votes blue.

[Natalie]

But then what happens if less than. If more than 50% press blue, then does all red die?

[David Dobrik]

No, red does never. Red never die.

[Natalie]

Oh, red nevers die.

[John]

Yeah, that's why I said red is a win.

[David Dobrik]

Win. Yeah, red's a win win.

[Natalie]

Oh, yeah, we're all pressing red.

[David Dobrik]

Well, 58.

[John]

What do you mean we're all pressing red?

[Natalie]

I don't know. That feels like that's where that.

[David Dobrik]

I think on a Twitter poll, it works where 58% of people chose blue. But I wonder how that would play out in real life.

[Natalie]

I mean, isn't that just like politics?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's literally politics. That's. That's. It's a political poll. This is our first time talking about politics on the pod. Congratulations. Now. Now I have something that somebody built on. So you know that lever situation I was telling you, like, if there's a train coming, you have the option to pull the lever.

[John]

Right. And you would kill, like, either one person or three people.

[David Dobrik]

One person or three people. It's hurling towards three. But if you press it, it kills one person.

[Natalie]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But it's the fact that you pressed it makes you. Whatever. So there's a new one. If you pull the lever, millions will die. If you refuse, you will be considered a traitor and placed on the track as well. There is a long line of people behind you who will then be asked to pull the lever if you refuse.

[John]

Wow.

[Natalie]

Okay, so let me just get this.

[David Dobrik]

Very similar to the red and blue question, right?

[Natalie]

No, but now my life is in jeopardy, huh?

[John]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Now I'm being placed on the track.

[David Dobrik]

Correct. But you're about to kill millions of people if you pull the lever.

[Natalie]

Okay, so I'm either killing millions of people or.

[David Dobrik]

Or you're laying yourself down too, and you're like, this decision is out of my hands.

[Natalie]

I'm laying myself down on the track.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

With three other people, and somebody else gets to decide what.

[David Dobrik]

I have my answer.

[Natalie]

I mean, even if I lay down on the track with three other people, the next person behind me that has to pull the lever is obviously gonna

[David Dobrik]

kill the lesser amount of us, you're saying. Obviously, but this lever already has not been pulled a million times.

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

A million people have declined.

[Natalie]

Oh. That's how they got to the million people over there.

[David Dobrik]

And I think, like. Like being tied to the tracks is a little dramatic. Let's just pretend you're, like, infected with the bug that. That, you know, like, being tied to the tracks is physical and you're there for a long time, but let's just pretend you're like. Do you know what I mean?

[Natalie]

That one feels like way harder than the other scenario.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. But let's pretend you're, like, infected with something, and if you pull the lever, everyone that's infected dies, but you stop the infection. I honestly think there's an argument for it to be pulled because, like, it has to stop at some point. Right. Because if you pull the lever, it's gone. Then you're just, like. You're just, like, inevitably making the death pole. Death toll rise. Right.

[Natalie]

Right. Like someone's gonna do it at some point.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. And now the number will be higher. I think it's almost like. I don't know. That's. That's. That's actually another red and blue question, in my opinion, because that's another, like, can you trust humanity for. For Eternity Forever?

[John]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Or do you stop the bleeding? That's really. See, these are the things we get into here in the Views podcast. Those are two really, really difficult questions.

[Natalie]

Incredibly difficult.

[John]

Have you seen this one where there's, like a billion dollars, but for.

[David Dobrik]

I really hope you get this right. Yeah.

[John]

For a billion dollars, it doesn't matter any time of the year. Once a month, you get pulled into the ocean somewhere. You don't know where. Let's say you're sleeping or something. Next. Next second, you're in the ocean, but you have to survive for 30 seconds. And then you come back and you're fully dry like nothing ever happened.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. It's For a full year. Every full year? Yeah.

[Natalie]

Every day for 30 seconds?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John]

I'd say once a month. How about once a month?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. The thing is full. I think it's every day.

[John]

Every day is a little much. Dude.

[David Dobrik]

That's like a billion dollars every day for. I think that's an easy, easy. Yes. What?

[Natalie]

I think I could do it every day.

[David Dobrik]

30 seconds.

[John]

It's just a lot of pain.

[David Dobrik]

Like, what's the worst. What's the worst situation? I mean, you're dropped into the Arctic.

[John]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

That's probably the worst situation.

[John]

Freezing like you just were sleeping in bed.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John]

Next thing.

[David Dobrik]

But the whole thing is when you're popped back. You're popped back into, like your dry clothes and you're completely dry.

[John]

Have you been to something cold? Like that cold and then just get off. Like, you don't. You just.

[David Dobrik]

You're like, I understand, but it's 30 seconds. I don't think it'll kill you.

[Natalie]

It definitely won't kill you.

[David Dobrik]

And then other people's arguments is like being dropped in like a shark's like, nesting ground, but also like 30 seconds.

[Natalie]

Yeah. I think you could.

[John]

You think you could survive 30 seconds with a shark?

[Natalie]

Yes.

[John]

You guys are crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Obviously, I feel like the Shark's gonna take 30 seconds to sniff out what's going on.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Sharks don't just like go up and attack you. Let's say you plop in.

[John]

But there's always a chance.

[David Dobrik]

It depends.

[Natalie]

Like, there is a chance.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but what if you're. What if you dropped into like where a fisherman is, like, currently chumming the waters? You know, there's a chance.

[Natalie]

You sim away from the.

[David Dobrik]

There's 1,000% chance. Sorry. There's a big chance that you're going to die. But you get. From a shark. But you get $1 billion on the end and you get a crazy story and everyone would think you're a legend. That'd be like every 30 seconds.

[Price Picks Advertiser]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But also like teleporting to water.

[John]

You know, there's like those 40 foot waves. Have you seen that? I think you're in the middle of that.

[Natalie]

That.

[David Dobrik]

That at night, 30 seconds. At night, 30 seconds.

[Natalie]

Hold your breath. You could hold your breath for 30 seconds.

[John]

Not while you're being pummeled by waves.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. There's no way. The only place where it would be dangerous is if the wave is next to like, like cliffs. Yeah, yeah. Rocks. And it throws you into rocks and it kills you. I think that's kind of unfair. It's just but that's a chance.

[Natalie]

Like middle of the ocean shit.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, well, what's your answer?

[John]

I mean, it's gonna be tough.

[David Dobrik]

I probably wouldn't.

[Natalie]

You wouldn't?

[John]

That's what I'm like, leaning on.

[David Dobrik]

I asked John earlier if he'd have sex with me for a billion dollars.

[John]

That's an easy one.

[Natalie]

What do you say?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I had a better question for John. We were driving by the art gallery and I was like, would you jerk me off for two pieces of art in there? But you have no idea how much it's. How much the art is worth.

[John]

It could be a replica or it could be the original.

[David Dobrik]

It could be. It could be a 500 piece of art. Yeah, it could be a 1.5 million dollar piece of art. It could be a $10 million art. Would you take the risk and jerk me off?

[John]

Yeah, I think it's a win win

[David Dobrik]

because you get to jerk me off. No, I would jerk you off for that too.

[John]

Yeah. I mean, come on.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, I would jerk you off and hope it was the $500 option just so I had a killer story.

[Natalie]

That's easy. There's not really many stakes there. It's just.

[John]

And that'd be so funny. It's a replica.

[David Dobrik]

It's fake. But the drama is real.

[Natalie]

The drama is real.

[David Dobrik]

All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you for John joining us, Ilya Jingleheimer Schmidt. Zayn, thank you for joining us. And Natalie and Natalie's feet that are pointing at me currently. We'll see you guys for the next episode.
