David Dobrik
Oh, fuck. Yes.
Jason Nash
She had a big crush on you.
David Dobrik
Yes. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, I thought it was a joke at first and then as the night went on, I was like, oh my God, this is real.
Jason Nash
Yeah. She tried going through me. She tried going through.
Natalie Mariduena
She also. She went through me as well.
Jason Nash
Went through Natalie, she went through Jack and she went through Scott and also Ilya. I saw her trying to. She's in love.
David Dobrik
Wait, what did she say to you?
Jason Nash
She was just like, do you think he would like me? And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like. And then I was like, I don't know that girl. I was, I was like, go over there and shoot your shot, you know, I don't know.
David Dobrik
She told, she told, she told me. She was like. I asked Mariah, she's like. I asked Mariah who would be like the person I can maybe meet at the wedding. And she's like, well, the best single person you can meet here is going to be David. Right? And then Natalie was telling me a story that she came up to Natalie and was like, hi. I asked Mariah who the best single person to meet would be. And Mariah said, todd, but out of respect, I'm not going to go for him.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh my God. Yes. She looked at my face, I was like, wait.
David Dobrik
I was like, wait. So she said this of two. I'm like, I'm so confused. And then at the end, it was really funny. At the end of the night, Ilya just told me. Ilya told me this in the morning.

Jason Nash
But yeah, she was great.
David Dobrik
And she was on it. She, you know, whatever.
Natalie Mariduena
We love a woman.
David Dobrik
I just can't. I can't hook up with somebody at a wedding.
Jason Nash
I don't know why you can't.
David Dobrik
That's not true. I've only been to three weddings. I don't want to write off all weddings for the future. But before I get into how the wedding was, let me finish this part. There was. She was talking to Ilya. I was so drunk at the end of the night, like, it was like, we actually ended at a good time. It was like 2am because the wedding started early midnight. Oh, it's midnight.
Natalie Mariduena
That's why. It was amazing. Because we went to bed at like a reasonable hour.
David Dobrik
Right? It was amazing. That's what. That was the best part. It made me rethink everything. I was like, everyone should start partying at like 6pm and go home at midnight. Like, this is amazing.
Jason Nash
That's what old people do.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it was incredible. So it was like 12:30, I think the after party was wrapping up. Like, everyone was going home and I was so drunk where I was leaning on Ilya, like, I had my eyes closed and we were waiting for our Uber and I was like, my head was resting on his shoulder and I heard her come up again, and my eyes are closed. And she comes up to Ilya and she goes, this is. This is from Ilya. Because I don't remember this part of the story because I was actually genuinely so drunk. I was. Yeah. She's like, so is he not interested or is he a pussy?
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, my gosh. Wow.
David Dobrik
And Ilya goes. Ilya goes. I think it's a little bit of both. And then Ilya's like. And then Elia told me. She's like. And then he's like, well, she didn't even acknowledge the fact that I said that you may not be interested. She just goes, oh, so he's a big pussy.
Jason Nash
Well, she got it right.
David Dobrik
Which was really funny. But okay, yeah, that was a great thing that happened at the wedding. But other than that, I haven't been to many weddings and I don't want to rank them next to each other, but that was one of the best weddings ever. Like, it was so fun. The fact that it was indoors was so my style. I love things that are indoors.
Jason Nash
Winter wonderland. It was warm.
David Dobrik
It was amazing. It was this huge fucking venue that, like, it just, like, it went from room to room to room. And everything was connected by these long, beautiful hallways. And it just felt like you were at somebody's, like, ginormous home. It was really warm, even though it was big. The entire thing, like, I don't know, everything from, like, the dance floor area to, like, the food was fucking insane. Mariah's parents were amazing.
Jason Nash
Did you notice there was an insane round of food before the food?
David Dobrik
Did I notice? Fuck, yeah. I was so confused. That's when I ran into Mariah's dad and I was like, so this isn't the dinner? And he goes, no, we're Italian. And I go, right on. I was getting so fucking full. It was amazing. Natalie and I made the mistake of going out the night before.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Because one of our friends was in New York that we don't ever see.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
So we just got the tail end of going to hang out with her. We got home at like 6 or 7 the night before.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Am when Natalie does this fucking thing where she thinks, no, no, no. Yeah.
Jason Nash
You don't even know what he's gonna say.
Natalie Mariduena
No, I do.
David Dobrik
No, because I've been talking to her about it all night. Like, she, like, like, okay, so this week, this upcoming week, we have to go to Columbus for work, and then we go to Vegas. And I'm like, great, we're gonna. We're gonna drink again. And Natalie's like, we don't actually have to drink that much. And I'm like, can you just stop fucking pretending like you have any control over yourself? Because the second, like, anything touches her lips, it's fucking go time.
Jason Nash
Really?
David Dobrik
And like. Yeah. And then I look at her. Okay, so we were. We were in New York and she, like, found her groove. It was like a really.
Natalie Mariduena
First of all, I fully, fully disclosed ahead of going out in New York that I was going to get drunk. I was down to get drunk. I wanted to have fun.
David Dobrik
No, no, no. But the. You're like, we can get drunk and be home at 2. That's what you said. And I was like, Natalie, 2am does not exist for us anymore for some reason. We lost it about a year ago, and now it's 6, 7am or nothing. That's why I loved Heath and Mariah's wedding. Because I was like, yes, we're leaving here at 12:30. Everyone had the best. Fuck. Everyone maxed out their good time.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Like, it was like. Nobody was like, more and more. Everybody was like, that was fine. We got to go home. Like, it was. Everybody was on the same page about it, so that's what was incredible. But, yeah, we were just. We were a little hungover going into the wedding.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. But then I had my little dirty Shirleys, and I was right back on the.
David Dobrik
Yeah, we got. Right. The DJ was incredible. Top to bottom. It was amazing. The thing that I found the craziest is, like, Heath and Mariah, like, there was a little. There was a little beautiful, like, convertible out of the wet outside of the wedding. And it said just married on it.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And, like, the entire time, I'm like, when are they gonna get in this fucking thing? And they got in it at 12:30.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, they did?
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
With the top down.
David Dobrik
Yeah, I think so. I think they got in it when we were. When we were all leaving Ubers.
Natalie Mariduena
I thought you were so drunk that you didn't know what was going on.
David Dobrik
Videos after.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, really?
David Dobrik
Yeah. And I was like. And I was like, oh, they got in it when all the Ubers came, which was crazy to me because I was like, oh, my God. They were sober the entire time. Like, the entire.
Jason Nash
Like, yeah, someone. Someone said, I'll have. Someone saw Mariah's drink, and they're like, I'll have what the bride's having because it looked good.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
And then she was like, that's a sprite. Yeah. There's nothing in. Someone made an interesting comment at the wedding because you were having fun, and I think it was Scott. And he was like. He was like, yeah. He's like, you know, Dave just missed all this partying time, like, and now he's, like, trying to catch up now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Dobrik
Heath came up to me, like, at the end when I was really drunk. He's like, dave, thank you so much for, like, staying so long getting really drunk. I'm like, heath, this is the least I could do.
Natalie Mariduena
My pleasure.
David Dobrik
Yeah. No, it was kind of crazy. That was like. Yeah, Yeah. I never got to do that with everybody, so it was really fun. I am really bummed. I missed. I don't think I've ever been drunk with Heath. I am really bummed. I got. I missed that. So that kind of sucks. But there was. I remember there was one time in Vegas, we almost all got drunk, and do you remember Heath, like, Took care of me. Heath and Mariah took care of me. We had the big.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, the Caesar's Palace.
David Dobrik
Yeah, Caesar's Palace Suite. We had the beautiful Caesar's Palace Suite.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
Jason Nash
Okay.
David Dobrik
I almost want to mention the hotel because I puked all over the room, but I remember that was the first time I got drunk. I think around them.
Natalie Mariduena
I need to say, we are not getting invited back to Caesar's Palace.
David Dobrik
We can't go back to Caesar's Palace. But yeah, no, it was really nice being able to like, have such a good time with all our friends. I can say to my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, hey, find a keto.

Get the Angel Reese Special at McDonald's. Now let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and a drink. Sound good. But I participate in restaurants for a.
David Dobrik
Limited time and just seeing somebody get married is so crazy. Every wedding I've gone to.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah, well, it's just crazy because it's them because they are out of like everybody in the friend group. Like, they're the longest standing relationship and there's so much experience and things that they've had, like, with all of us. Like, it's crazy to see somebody like that, that you're so, like, intertwined with.
David Dobrik
Like, this is the first wedding where, like, I really knew the bride and the groom.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
Jason Nash
Oh, yeah.
David Dobrik
So that was really fucking crazy. Cool. Like, that was insane. Every wedding. By say every wedding, I mean the last two. So Joe's wedding, Incredible. And this wedding. Yeah, they were both great. But every wedding, it starts off and I go, I would never do this. Like, I'm standing in the lobby and I'm like, this is too much everywhere. Like, I'm sorry I keep saying every, but it's been two. But like, but like, I'm like, why would people do this so much? And then as the night goes on, I'm like, this is amazing. And then at the end, I'm like, I totally get it. Like, I'm totally on board. I don't Know what spooks me about the beginning? I think maybe I'm just, like, super anxious, like, going into the wedding.
Jason Nash
It's. You're asking every single person, you know, the older people, the younger people to get dressed up, to go to a destination. Sometimes it's a lot of pressure you're setting yourself up for.
David Dobrik
Like, I think. Yeah. I think I also just. I think it just makes me nervous to, like, stand at an altar and, like.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. Just everybody's watching.
David Dobrik
The whole churchy part of it. Like, I'm a religious guy, but, like, it just makes me, like, nervous to do that part. But Heathen Myers was really interesting because it was so quick, so well done. And I think I feel like that's a lot of the weddings nowadays. Like, what I see is, like, people are making that part, like, quicker. Quicker.
Jason Nash
They even came down the aisle quick. Yeah, we're, like, fast. Like, the people before them that were. They were like, athletes.
David Dobrik
I had a really successful weekend. The night before we went to the Watch King of New York City.
Jason Nash
Oh, yeah. Tell me.
David Dobrik
I've been keeping this low key.
Jason Nash
Okay.
David Dobrik
Because like I said to your 10 million followers.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. Except for every social platform you've posted on.
David Dobrik
Well, no, now I have. But I've been into watches recently.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Like, for the last year or two. And I don't like talking about it because it's like, from, like, the outside perspective. Like, I could understand how someone doesn't understand getting a watch. Like, it's, like, really stupid. But, like, the way I fell into watches is like, I was like, oh, my God, this is, like, the best investment you can make.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And I want to. I want to say that real quick. So I got this Rolex. There was this polka dot Rolex that came. It was called the Celebration. And I was like, I don't fucking like watches, but I like this one because it's, like, so goofy and fun. And it's a Rolex. And I was like, I'm going to make an investment because it's going to go up in value. Whatever. I bought the watch, it was $35,000 on the gray market. So gray market means after you get the watch from Rolex, people resell it. And that's where I bought it. Because it's impossible to get a watch from the actual company, like Rolex or Patek.
Jason Nash
I can't go into a store and buy a Rolex right now.
David Dobrik
No, you can't.
Jason Nash
Really?
David Dobrik
No. You'll be put on a waiting list and they'll call you. Now they'll call you in about five years.
Jason Nash
Really?
David Dobrik
And they'll be like, we have. And it's. And they'll offer you the first entry level watch. That's what happens.
Jason Nash
Wow.
David Dobrik
It's a fucking huge pain in the ass to get a watch. Wow. It's a very pretentious, long game that you have to play.
Jason Nash
Is that the only watch company like that?
David Dobrik
No, it's all of them. It's all the big ones. All like the Rolex, Patek, Richard Mill. Like Richard Mill. I put down my name three years ago in Singapore. Haven't heard, haven't gotten a call yet.
Natalie Mariduena
The incentive there is when you get it at retail, it's inexpensive. You can obviously buy a watch, like, resold somewhere.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Natalie Mariduena
But it's double the price.
David Dobrik
So. So, yeah. So here's the thing. So I bought this watch off the gray market for $35,000. And then I was in. I was in some place in like, Sacramento and I walked into a Rolex dealership and I hit it off with the lady there. Like, we were just, like, talking, and I guess she liked me. I don't know what it was, but she saw my watch and she's like, oh, my God, congrats on the watch. And she's like, yeah, I just, I just got it. I bought off the gray market. She goes, what? You got it off the gray market? And I was like, yeah. She's like, so how much did you pay for it? I'm like, 35,000. And she's like, return that right now. I'll get you from here in two weeks. So I returned it.
Jason Nash
And you can return on the gray market.
David Dobrik
Yeah, because I got it within the week.
Jason Nash
Oh, wow.
David Dobrik
And I returned it, got all my money back. And she called me two weeks later and she had the same watch for me for $6,000.
Jason Nash
Wow.
David Dobrik
So the second I walk out of Rolex, that watch has now 5x'd in price.
Jason Nash
Wow.
David Dobrik
Which is so fucking crazy. And they don't do that. I got really lucky and that's what got me into it. I was like, oh, my God, I just paid $6,000. And immediately my investment has 5x. I could go and sell this thing right now and make $29,000, which is not what you want to do because you want to build your relationship. So you don't. You shouldn't sell any of the watches. But that's how it is. So.
Jason Nash
So you still have that one?
David Dobrik
Still have it?
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
So all my watches won't really ever sell until, like, shit hits the fan. Or. Or I have kids, which is also shit hitting the fan. No, no, no. I walked into this watch dealership. There's this watch I've always been wanting. I pointed to it. It's hard to say how much it goes for because there's only, like, a couple of them that have been made in the world, but they're listed for around 300,000. And I'm like, I don't want that. It's too expensive. And he goes, okay, I'll make you a deal. Let's do a coin flip. If you lose, you could take it for 200,000. And if you win, you could take the watch for 100,000. This really confused me because I was like, it's already. You're already giving me basically $100,000 off the watch. Which I guess kind of was like, I think he did it just so I could bite and actually do. He was doing me a favor so I could actually do the coin flip.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
So this is a hard thing for me to say no to. I've never done a coin flip in my life for $1,000. I think the biggest gamble I've ever taken was, like, 10 grand. 20 grand?
Natalie Mariduena
No. Well, I would. On a coin flip specifically.
David Dobrik
No, just a gambling roulette.
Natalie Mariduena
We did 50 grand in Vegas.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
But I didn't put any money in. That was all my friends.
Natalie Mariduena
Okay.
David Dobrik
Yeah. So that's.
Jason Nash
So the coin flip is 300,000. Or you pay 100,000.
David Dobrik
200,000. Or I pay 100,000.
Jason Nash
Okay, so he's already knocking 100 off, right?
David Dobrik
Yeah. So I'm already like, even if I lose, I'm good. And then, yeah, after. After talking to my friends for a little, and Joe and Natalie, I was like, fuck it. The vibes feel really good here. I'm going to take the coin flip. I mean, you could just feel it sometimes when, like, the energy, like, was.
Natalie Mariduena
Like, there was good, like, aura.
David Dobrik
Yeah, it felt.
Natalie Mariduena
No, but like, I do.
David Dobrik
It felt very, like, vlog energy. And I was like, yeah, like, there's something about. About this right now that, like, feels like I'm going to win, so I'm just going to go for it. And, yeah, I won the flip. I have no idea how I'm like, seven for seven on flips on camera or, like, any kind of gambles on camera. It's kind of incredible. I'm very lucky.
Jason Nash
It's unreal. And Joe is claiming that the quarter hit his foot. Is that true?
David Dobrik
Yeah, I watched that back. It didn't hit his Foot? No, no. But Joe texted me. He's like, you know, I kicked the coin for you. And I'm like, joe, I'm editing it right now. It didn't touch your foot. But regardless, don't fucking touch the cord next time.
Jason Nash
But yeah, so what if it did hit his foot and you lost? Oh, my God.
David Dobrik
That's the thing. If I lost that flip, it would have ruined the entire weekend for me. Guys, none of this would be possible without our sponsor of today's podcast, which is seatgeek. On my little brief sheet here, it always says, do an opening hook. SeatGeek does not need an introduction.
Jason Nash
No, no. I'll put my kids through school.

I took Wyatt to see Herbie Hancock once, who's, like, a famous jazz musician.
David Dobrik
Oh, really?
Jason Nash
Incredible.
David Dobrik
Herbie Hancock. That sounds like. Like a. Like, when I. When I think of that name, I think of, like. Like a really cool grasshopper or ladybug with a saxophone in his hand.

Yeah, yeah, we're getting you live there for a little bit. Is it worth it?
Jason Nash
So fun.
David Dobrik
Is it. Is it like. I feel like Natalie and I are at the age where maybe we'd enjoy New York more than LA. Yeah, LA's kind of leaning, like, younger.
Natalie Mariduena
It feels like, yeah, it's just hard to find places to go out here where, like, there's people that are also 30 and not just, like, yeah, freshly 21 at this bar or a nightclub or whatever.
David Dobrik
There was nothing about New York that felt.
Natalie Mariduena
Everyone's older, sophisticated, just feels like they kind of have, like, their shit together. I don't know.
David Dobrik
Yeah, Nothing about New York felt young.
Natalie Mariduena
But New York is also, like, rated the number one city or the worst city in America to date.
Jason Nash
Like, no, no.
Natalie Mariduena
I thought LA is what, New York's number one, dude.
David Dobrik
That's why I'm, like, really worried about, like, finding one person. It's, like, spooking me.
Jason Nash
Would you guys move there?
Natalie Mariduena
I know it's tough living there 100%. That's like.
David Dobrik
Like, why do you say that?
Jason Nash
You got to take the subway. You got. It gets cold.
Natalie Mariduena
It's an apartment.
Jason Nash
There's a guy masturbating outside your house. You know, that's sick.
Natalie Mariduena
I would do, like, you know, it's tough. I would be bi. Coastal. Like, I would do, like, the six of the summer months in New York.
Jason Nash
Bicoastal is the worst.
Natalie Mariduena
Why?
Jason Nash
You can't be in two places at once. I did it once. Is the worst.
David Dobrik
Why is that bad?
Jason Nash
People call you. They're like, come on over. Like, we're having this huge thing. I'm like, I'm in New York. Like, all right. Then you go back to L. A. They're, come on over. We're doing this thing. Like, I'm in la, right?
David Dobrik
And then you're out of the loop a little bit in one place.
Jason Nash
The worst bicycle is the worst.
Natalie Mariduena
But I'm just saying, like, you do, like, six months. Like, you. Everyone knows you're there for that chunk of time, and then the other chunk of time is la. I just don't know if I'm down to go live in an apartment right now at this point in my life.
David Dobrik
It feels like, oh, I Feel like if I was to go to a place, it'd be Miami. Like if I was to move to a little bit, like, I want something like year round, hot and humid and mosquito y. That's kind of what I'm looking for.
Natalie Mariduena
I feel like we've really tapped into the LA community and the LA people and New York is just like a whole new.
Jason Nash
And there's no one here.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah, I just like, I feel like we really know it, which is great. It's why I love it. Yeah, I do feel navigate. But New York is like new people. It's fresh, it's fun.
David Dobrik
I do feel like we've maxed out who we know in la.
Jason Nash
Well, you would be you. You guys would be bigger stars in New York than here.
David Dobrik
Why?
Jason Nash
I just think that there's less people doing what you guys do.
David Dobrik
Oh my God. I will say I've never been approached more in my life.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. Yeah, that was pretty crazy.
David Dobrik
Than on the streets in New York.
Jason Nash
Me too.
David Dobrik
And I thought New York was like, everybody brags about, Dude, I fucking. I love when people do this because I think it's so lame. It's like, what are you bragging about? It's like in New York you can walk right next to Martin Scorsese and you won't say anything because you know better. Like, that's why. Those are all the stories I hear about New York, which I'm like, cool, okay, whatever. Like, people do that in LA too. But like, the Jack Welch Management Institute at Strayer University helps you go from I know the way to I've arrived.

Virginia by Chev and has many campuses, including at 2121 15th Street north in Arlington, Virginia. I went out to film this thing with my sisters where I was like doing like a house tour. And never in my life have I been stopped more. I felt like fucking Adam Sandler. I was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah, it was like, I think I saw 14 people and 11 of them asked me for a picture. That's never happened to me. I don't know if I hit like a, like a weird rush of people, but like, it was really bizarre when.
Jason Nash
We did, when we did Views Live. We went to so many cities and I remember the New Jersey, New York crowds just being the Best. For some reason, they were just, like, the most fervent, the most fun, the smartest.
David Dobrik
I never know what to respond to this. When people, like, I met. I met some girl at the gym. And this was after, like, I've taken, like, a couple photos at the gym, whatever. Not a big deal. And it's like, I've taken, like, five or six photos, and then this girl recognizes me, like, by the weights. She's like, can I ask for a photo? And I'm like, yeah, of course. She's like. She's like, is it weird, like, not being recognized here? Like, no one's coming up to me. And, like, I'm not going to be, like, I'm not going to say, like, no, five or six people, like, the biggest douche.
Jason Nash
Don't worry, I'll be recognized.
David Dobrik
Yeah, well, I'll, you know, just hang.
Jason Nash
Around a little bit.
David Dobrik
Yeah, that's really funny. Or then. Or then you'll get somebody on the opposite side of that, and they'll be like, don't worry, I'll keep it low key. Let's just do the photo. And they'll be like, let's just take it quick. I don't want you to get mobbed. And they're being dead serious. I'm like, I'm not gonna get mobbed. Like, you're good. You could shout my name right now and everything will be completely fine.
Jason Nash
That's my favorite thing Wyatt was telling me when I was talking about, like, I miss, like, I like the culture of New York, like, art and stuff like that. And he was saying he has a friend who's blowing up on Instagram who takes pictures of people's buttholes.
David Dobrik
Wow.
Jason Nash
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Dobrik
Wait, what? Like, raw?
Natalie Mariduena
Like, raw.
David Dobrik
Wait, what? Where does your son go to school?
Jason Nash
He goes to school in the city somewhere.
David Dobrik
Wait, why are you giving so little, like, background to this story? What do you mean?
Jason Nash
Takes pictures are cracking me up for the last four days. I'll just think it to myself. I'll be like, can I take a shot of your butthole?
David Dobrik
Is it Buttholes Anonymous? Or, like, does he tag the assholes? Or.
Jason Nash
No, I guess the way Assholes of New York. The way it comes up. Yeah, the way it comes out on Instagram is you can't tell it's a butthole. So, wait, what's it called? I don't know. He told me. I forgot the guy's name, but.
David Dobrik
And he's blowing up. Are you fucking with us? What are you saying, Jay?
Jason Nash
Well, he's. I think he does all kinds of art, but that's just, like, one of the things he does. He'll, like, takes pics, pictures of, like, women and, like, crabs and What? But I just love shit like that.
David Dobrik
Like, I love, like, the STD crabs.
Jason Nash
No, no, no. Like an actual. Like a stone crab. Like a.
David Dobrik
Okay, so he's a photographer. He's taking pictures of one or two buttholes.
Jason Nash
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Dobrik
Okay. You made it sound like it's a dedicated assholes page.
Jason Nash
It's just a cool thing. Like, back in the day, you would know, when I lived in New York, there would be people like that, you know, that would shit in a pizza box or whatever. Like, stuff like that. That's, like, for art's sake. But you wouldn't know about it because there's no Instagram. But now the guy's blowing up, you know?
David Dobrik
Well, I feel the shitting in the pizza box is still kind of like, we went to the box, and I know that's why you're bringing.
Jason Nash
Did you go again?
David Dobrik
Yeah, we go. We go every time. I don't know if you're supposed to go as frequently as we go.
Jason Nash
What does that mean?
David Dobrik
We are. Well, I feel like.
Jason Nash
Why wouldn't you go as much as you want?
David Dobrik
Because the box, I feel like. Like, I feel like it should be.
Natalie Mariduena
Like a once in a few times treat.
David Dobrik
Yeah, like. Yeah, it's like a treat. So, like. Like, the box, if you don't know, there's one in London and there's one in New York. And, like, when you walk into the box, it seems like a regular bar, and, like, maybe like a club, but there's a stage. And every hour past, like, midnight or something, they do a show. And the shows vary. So, like. And they're very intense shows. So, like, one of the shows I've seen, and this is gonna be crazy, so if you're listening to this with your parents, turn up the volume, because they're not gonna believe this. There's, like, one show where, like, a woman will come on stage and she'll sew her vagina shut in front of everybody. Like, stitch it shut in front of everybody. It's really fucking insane. The show we got this time, there's a man or a woman that had breasts and a penis. And basically, first they run around the room. This is completely real. They run around the room.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And they try to get someone to blow them. This is insane. I can't believe. It's really hard to explain this on the pod because you're gonna feel. It's gonna feel like I went, like, through layers and layers of people to get to this place. Like, this is like some dark corner of New York.
Jason Nash
No, no. It's literally I walk right by it.
David Dobrik
It's right next to my hotel store.
Jason Nash
Yeah, yeah. No, yeah.
David Dobrik
Everyone knows the box.
Natalie Mariduena
Everybody knows the box.
Jason Nash
Everybody can get in too.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
So first you wait in line. You can get in.
David Dobrik
Yeah, yeah. So first this person goes and sees who would blow them. I've never seen anybody say yes to the blowjob, even though she's very, like. She'll grab people's heads and be like, come blow me. And then she'll just, like, resort to, like, humping somebody. Like, dry humping somebody.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And then this particular show, which is very similar to a show we had before. If you've listened to the podcast, we may have talked about this. It's gonna sound like another show we've seen there before. But she'll take a pizza. She put her penis through the pizza. So now the little pizza slice is spinning around the penis. And then she takes another pizza slice that doesn't have a hole in it, and she turns around. So now you see her asshole, which would be a great place for your friend to go and take pictures. You see her asshole, and she shits on top of the slice. Like, a really good, healthy poop.
Natalie Mariduena
Really big poop.
David Dobrik
Really big poop. And now, normally what I've seen is she shits on the pizza box with the pizza, and then she takes the slices and she starts throwing them into the audience. This time she didn't throw it. And thank God, because it was like, the biggest poop I've seen on this pizza slice. Instead, she takes a bite out of the top of the poop, and the curtains close, and then that's the show. And then you look at your friends and you go, yeah, shot. You go and you take a shot. And then the night continues. And then club closes around three or four, and those shows kind of happen. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I don't know. Like, how can you throw poop at the audience? Like, no one's signing anything. Where they come in, where they're like, yeah, I'm good with everything.
Jason Nash
Yeah, the public health department.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Or is it just, like, an unspoken thing between everybody where it's like, yeah.
Natalie Mariduena
Fuck it, I think, you know, I'm assuming also, like, if you buy a table right next to the stage downstairs, like. Like, they give you some sort of, like, heads up, like, just so you know.
David Dobrik
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what. Every time we go, I'm sitting upstairs.
Natalie Mariduena
Upstairs? Yeah.
David Dobrik
Like, you sit down. Like, I remember we ran into some friends and they're like, come sit with us. We have front row seats. I'm like, holy, You've never been here. I will be upstairs. Yeah, yeah. So like that. Yeah. No, because front row always gets picked on. It's like.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
David Dobrik
It's like I. I get scared of sitting at the front row, at the blue man group, because I don't want, like, a marshmallow to be thrown at me. Like, this is like, next level, blue man group groups. No, but it's. It's a really good spot. I highly recommend. I remember I took my. My hometown friends, like, everybody I live with. Ilia.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
Alex and John in there for the first time. I think it's something with, like, Midwestern people that may not like that.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
But they were like, after we left, they were like, why did you take us there? And normally we're, like, pretty on point with, like, with like, what. What we think is fun experiences. Yeah. But, like, that would. I've never seen them look at me like that. They're like, dave, there's something wrong with you. That was crazy. You should not be enjoying that. I was thinking about this the other day and, like, because we've been watching Star wars and, like, do you think that aliens. Like, I'm sure there's aliens monitoring our planet to some extent, but, like, they think we're probably really. Do you think they think we're lame because of all our, like, internal conflicts? Like, if I was an alien. Because I feel like there are definitely other solar systems and, like, galaxies and. And parts of the. Parts of the universe.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
That, like, have intergalactic battles. Right. And I feel like we may be one of the only planets. We may be one of the only planets that we're, like, constantly fighting ourselves. Like, doesn't it sound so pathetic if you look at the whole universe that we have armies to defend from our own little does it.
Jason Nash
Yeah, but who's to say aliens aren't petty, too? I mean, who's to say. But they don't have a war with Glaxon 5 or something.
David Dobrik
But I just. I just think the thing. I think, like, we need to be more united and, like. I don't know how to. Like, I'm not trying to sound like I'm trying to save the world and, like, bring peace, but, like, I feel like if we had a bigger enemy.
Jason Nash
Well, yes. I've always Thought that, like, if we.
David Dobrik
Had a bigger enemy, I feel like humans would really get along.
Jason Nash
Yes. Yes. I've always thought that, too. Like, you'd have to pair up with Putin, and everybody would have to come together to fight the aliens. And I think there's a few movies like that.
David Dobrik
Yes. And, like, isn't that kind of beautiful? Like, to have a common enemy?
Jason Nash
Dude, I started crying the other day. I saw this guy. He just. He just gives out sandwiches to homeless people. I was full on fucking balling last night.
David Dobrik
Wait, why is that a common enemy?
Jason Nash
Well, it's not a common enemy, but it just made me think of, like. Oh.
David Dobrik
Like, just, like, humans.
Jason Nash
Like, that makes me cry, what you just said.
David Dobrik
Aliens attacking and coming together.
Jason Nash
No, the idea of. The idea of, like, all walks of life coming together. So why did all races coming together like that? Like, makes me, like, tear up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Dobrik
It is beautiful.
Jason Nash
Yeah, it's beautiful.
David Dobrik
Why did this homeless. Why did the sandwich guy make you cry?
Jason Nash
Because he's so brilliant with what he does. He's like.
David Dobrik
He's like a TikTok thing.
Jason Nash
TikTok guy, and he's just like. He goes into the store, he goes into the restaurant, and he's like, hey, I'm gonna pay for 20 sandwich. 20 pizzas for the homeless shelter.
David Dobrik
I've seen this. And the store goes, yep, fuck it. We'll give you another hundred.
Jason Nash
Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's the part that gets me. Is that the restaurant owner, like, hey.
David Dobrik
I just called the owner, and the owner wants to give you a free 100 pizzas.
Jason Nash
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or the one I saw. The owner came out, and he was like, fuck it, man. We're doing 40.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
He's like, no, no, no. You don't have to, man. I'll just pay for 20. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We know what you do. He's like, you got to feed those homeless people today. And then it's like. It's like, oh, man. Start crying.
David Dobrik
That is nice. Those little acts of humanity, I feel like, are a good vibe. Have you ever done anything nice for another person?
Jason Nash
Never.
David Dobrik
Damn.
Jason Nash
Oh, I did. We did something nice on the streets of New York the other day. We were walking, and this woman, this old woman, she had a bunch of packages, like, really, really heavy shit, and this Uber just, like, peels away, and she goes, you're just gonna leave me here like that?
Natalie Mariduena
She goes, what the.
Jason Nash
She's putting her hands up. She's like, I can't lift the packages.
David Dobrik
Oh, that's amazing. It looks like a video game.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
The fact that you can.
Jason Nash
Exactly. And we were walking up at that moment.
David Dobrik
It's like a side quest to help women or ignore her.
Jason Nash
Yeah. We had four strong dudes with us, and. And I said, take your pick. I was like, who do you. Who do you want to help you? We'll help you up.
David Dobrik
Wow, that is nice.
Jason Nash
And she offered me money, and she goes, I don't have any cash. And I go, no, no, no, no, that was fine.
David Dobrik
No, no, it's not cash. It's cash app.
Jason Nash
And then something really good happened to me right after that. Like, I got like, a work call about something really good. And. And then I was like. To Naveen, I was like. I was like, we have to, like, we have to keep doing nice things.
David Dobrik
That's really fun. How has your work life been, Jay? You've quit going TikTok Live?
Jason Nash
TikTok Live is no more. I miss it. And then. Yeah, just doing podcasts.
David Dobrik
Have you been making more money?
Jason Nash
Yeah, I'm getting some brand deals, doing stuff.
David Dobrik
What are you gonna spend all the money on?
Jason Nash
Fucking pay my house off.
David Dobrik
This is good.
Jason Nash
Pay the college off. Pay the high school off.
David Dobrik
Do you still believe in pay you.
Jason Nash
Back the 400,000 I borrow?
David Dobrik
I think we've always tried. We've always tried talking about your. Your children's high school, but we've never, like, really talked about it.
Jason Nash
Right.
David Dobrik
I feel we always end up cutting it out or something.
Jason Nash
Yes.
David Dobrik
We should talk about. Because I think. I think it is interesting. Yeah. Jay's. Jay's kids go to. Well. Went to. Well, how many kids do you have left that go to it? Just one.
Jason Nash
I just have one. Yeah. I have two kids.
David Dobrik
So two kids go to this high school and for some reason in L. A.
Jason Nash
Well, one's in college now.
David Dobrik
Yes.
Jason Nash
Yes.
David Dobrik
But when he went to high school. Okay, how. I'll just get right to it. How much is the high school for your kids a month?
Jason Nash
It's. It's 50,000 a year.
David Dobrik
50,000 for a school year?
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
For high school for two kids or for one kid?
Jason Nash
One kid.
David Dobrik
That's fucking insane.
Natalie Mariduena
Crazy.
David Dobrik
So. So. So when people are. Yeah. So Jay's financials. Yeah. People are like, well, why is he. What is he spending the money on it? And Jay, to his credit, he takes care of his kids like no other would. Some argue that he spoils his kids. Yes. Natalie and I have this argument all the time. And then Jay rebuttals back, and it's like, what am I supposed to do? Postmates is expensive and Uber to California.
Jason Nash
We don't use Postmates.
David Dobrik
We don't know you don't now. I know you don't now.
Jason Nash
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Dobrik
But when.
Jason Nash
No, back in the day, though, when we were. I was having a lot of money coming in. I spent it all on private high schools.
David Dobrik
On private high schools? Yeah. Like, Jay doesn't blow his money on. So. Yeah. So, like, people will be like, well, I don't get it. Is he bad with his money or does he not make. Him not make a lot of money? I think it's a little mix. Yeah. And the bad. Is he okay? No. Jay makes good money, but the way he treats his kids is like, they're the kings and the queens of the day.
Natalie Mariduena
He was, like, making real, real good money.
David Dobrik
Jay treats his kids like he's a billionaire, which is great and horrible at the same time. $50,000 a year for one kid to go to high school is fucking madness. So that's, what, 200k for the full year for one kid, 200k for the other year. And you haven't even hit college yet. And that's because you think public school in LA is, like, a scary place for kids to be, or, like, what's the argument there?
Jason Nash
Well, the problem is, is we sent one to the private high school, and he's. He's killing it. He's just, like, had the best time and he had the best experience, and he met his bandmates there and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was doing fine during those times, those four years. I paid for all of it.
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
Because I had a lot of money. Then it came time for Charlie to go to high school, and it's like.
David Dobrik
Well, is she in her senior year yet?
Jason Nash
No, she's a sophomore.
David Dobrik
Oh, my God. So you still have two and a half more years to pay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that is no fucking.
Jason Nash
So it wasn't really fair to be like, you're going to public. Your brother got to go to private. Yeah. And that's all. That's all it is. And for people listening, you know, the schools in la, the school system where we live is. Is not the best, but you don't.
David Dobrik
Think, like, them going to public school will give him like. Like, you. Don't you think Wyatt couldn't have found his bandmates? Like, I feel like if you're gonna find any kind. I feel like if you're gonna find band people, you could literally find them anywhere. Right. Like, musicians Kind of exist all walks of life. Like, you don't need to be in the bougie school. You could quite literally be maybe even in the worst school to find the best musician bandmates, you know?
Jason Nash
Sure.
David Dobrik
But you don't. You don't think he would have had the same experience in like the grungiest of public schools?
Jason Nash
Could have. Could have had the most.
David Dobrik
You just don't want to take that risk. If you had a third kid now, would you send them to public or private?
Jason Nash
Public.
David Dobrik
Public.
Jason Nash
Yeah. And of course, a lot of this, all of these decisions are shared with my ex wife. So there's conversations like, do you want to send him here? And then it's like, okay, let's do it. And then. And she's great. You know, she's been great. She's really helped a lot. But yeah, we're just in the middle of it and I'm on cameo, guys.
David Dobrik
So go check out Jay so you could pay for this deal. No, no. That's pretty noble. Oh, dude. You know what I thought about a lot this weekend that I've never thought about more?
Jason Nash
What?
David Dobrik
It's like, why don't Natalie and I hook up? I've never thought about it.
Jason Nash
I keep thinking you guys are together and no one's telling me. I keep having dreams. I have a dream at night and you guys will come to me and you'll be like, it only happened once, but we're together. We're together. And I'll be like, what?
David Dobrik
What?
Jason Nash
No one told me. And I'm like the last to know. That's my.
David Dobrik
I don't know why I thought about it more than ever. It's. Cause I think I saw a meme on Instagram and it was like going home with my significant other at 3:15 and they were like yapping in the taxi cab, just having a good time. And it was like knowing that we have each other at the end of the night. And it's like, that's me and Natalie every night. Every night it's just me and her, like in our Uber going back, and I'm like, fuck, we have half of it, but we're just not attracted to each other.
Jason Nash
You're not?
David Dobrik
No.
Jason Nash
And if you would start dating, would you tell everybody or would you?
David Dobrik
Yeah, for sure.
Jason Nash
Would you tell me? Yeah.
David Dobrik
If Matt and I were attracted to each other, I feel like it would have. Like, we would have probably started dating like two years ago, right?
Natalie Mariduena
For sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Jason Nash
Why aren't you attracted to him?
David Dobrik
She just knows. Oh, I Shouldn't speak for her. I feel like I always jump in there in those moments.
Natalie Mariduena
I also just. It's like. It's not that I feel like saying you're not attracted is like. Like. Cause I think you're a good looking person. It's. It's like a little bit. It's a little bit deeper than that.
David Dobrik
This is a conversation we needed to.
Natalie Mariduena
Have, you know, Like, David is not. Doesn't like. Like, I love him to death, but I just don't know if he exudes, like, husband material for me.
David Dobrik
Ooh.
Natalie Mariduena
And I also.
David Dobrik
I could see that.
Natalie Mariduena
We spend so much time together. We share so many amazing experiences together.
David Dobrik
It's like, who. Why would we get married?
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. It would really complicate things. And we work.
David Dobrik
Wait, hold on. I have a question. If I. If I. If I was like, natalie, I really like you, I'll be like, hell, yeah.
Natalie Mariduena
Let's get.
David Dobrik
I know what she's saying. And, like, I'm not her husband vibe. And that's because I feel like I'm not manly enough. I think, Natalie.
Natalie Mariduena
Yes. You are a little boy. You're a little boy that I take care of every single time.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Because Natalie takes care of me.
Jason Nash
Oh, that's a big one.
David Dobrik
Yeah. Which is, like, totally fine. Like, I don't want to be taken care of or I don't want. I don't want to have to take care of Natalie. Like, I like that cheat. I like, like, like, even when we're at the club in the bar, and a girl starts talking to me and she's like, where do we go next? I'm like, I don't know. I have to ask Natalie. Like, everything I run through Natalie and. And I don't know, just because I just feel, like, calmer knowing that she's calling the Uber and that she knows where we're going next.
Jason Nash
That's nice.
David Dobrik
Even when I get married, it'll be Natalie, which is kind of nice. It'll be Natalie and my wife.
Jason Nash
Dude.
David Dobrik
I'll be double taken care of. Oh, my God. Could you. Could you imagine me maxing out on just not doing anything? No, but. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, Natalie, if I, like, came on to you, like, not in, like, a sexual way, but, like, if I was just like. If I was like, hey, listen, like, maybe we should do. We should just see. I kind of.
Natalie Mariduena
You should explore this.
David Dobrik
Yeah. What would you say?
Natalie Mariduena
I would be very confused. I would be like, what are you saying? I don't think you're in your right state of Mind.
David Dobrik
Okay. Right on. That was, like, a really nice way of putting it. But, yeah, to me, I don't think it's as deep as Natalie puts it. With, like, the whole, like. Because Natalie is mentally kind of the package for me. Like, that is what I would look for.
Jason Nash
Do you think if you walked outside and, like, a bucket of paint fell on your head, you would, like, maybe fall love with Natalie? Like, if you had, like, a switch in your brain.
David Dobrik
Oh, okay. Like, I ended up in the hospital and Natalie's there.
Natalie Mariduena
If he's dying, if he's on his deathbed, that's when he'll take me.
Jason Nash
No, like. Like, he wakes up in the hospital.
David Dobrik
Yeah, you're over me. And we have, like. Like. And I don't remember any of our childhood.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, yeah.
David Dobrik
I don't remember anything about Natalie that, like, turns me and rubs me the wrong way. And we're restarting quite possibly. And I forgot everything I know about beautiful women. No, no. And all the women are also dead. And I'm in the hospital, and it's just Natalie.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. But it's like, the history and context, like, that makes our friendship, like, what it is, you know?
David Dobrik
Yeah.
Jason Nash
Wait, did you have your date?
David Dobrik
Oh, shit. Natalie's date.
Natalie Mariduena
Oh, yeah.
David Dobrik
Fuck, yeah. Go ahead. Talk about bitch.
Natalie Mariduena
So he canceled.
David Dobrik
Knew it. No, this is why I told you. He should have come over that night, because I knew. I knew he was gonna cancel. I knew it. I knew it.
Natalie Mariduena
Well, then why would I want to? Why would I do that?
David Dobrik
You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. It's very rare. I don't know. I always think people I like, we.
Natalie Mariduena
Need to move, bro. I can't be doing this, like, wishy washy with men here. It's just so annoying.
David Dobrik
The worst part is he canceled without making any future plans.
Jason Nash
It's. It's men everywhere.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah, he was just like, oh, work came up tonight.
Jason Nash
What do you think's going on there?
David Dobrik
Dude, I don't know. I think he just, like, he was drunk and in the moment, he was like, yeah, I'm kind of feeling it. And then maybe he just wasn't.
Jason Nash
No, no, no. He texted her the next day.
David Dobrik
I think the next day he was still probably getting, like, off that high. I don't know. I also think it's, like, this is what it's happened to me, like, where I was gonna make. Where I made plans with girls, and then either I call it off or they call it off. Like, the night before. And it's just like. You're just like, really? Do I wanna do this? I can't do it, dude. I'm in such. You know what I hate? This is my biggest red flag. And I wish it wasn't this way. Like, when a girl starts talking to me. No, I hate saying this because it fucking sucks. Like, I hate when I'm talking to a girl and she's like, I love doing activities. She's like, every day I want to do something. Like, I want to go painting or, like, I want to go snowboarding, bike riding. I want to go pick strawberries. Like, I just want to do things. And every time I hear that, I go, I don't want to do any of that. I don't want to do any of that. And. And like, I know listening to this girl, it sounds like the coolest thing. And, like, that is, like, that's what guys look for, right? Like, an adventurous, fun, like, quirky girl. Like, I want to go out and just explore LA and just go and take spontaneous trips and I'm always like. Like, I barely want to watch movies. I just want to sleep and cuddle. That's all I want to do.
Jason Nash
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And I feel like I'm like, fuck, I'm never going to find anybody for the right person.
Jason Nash
You would go picture.
David Dobrik
Like, that's why I feel like I almost need to find one of the busiest people that, like, is so busy with work that when they come home, they're just tired. And I'm like, me too.
Jason Nash
Yeah. But I think you're missing something, which is you're busy as hell. You go out, like, all day and do stuff and go to things.
David Dobrik
Well, I think my.
Jason Nash
You just do that with your partner.
David Dobrik
Yeah. I don't know. I also think it gets different when you. When, like when you fall in love, then I think you, you're. You want to do everything with that person and then you're like, yeah, I will go fucking go pick strawberries with you. Then I think it's different, right? But I think getting to that stage, I just don't have the patience or energy for anymore. Do you do. Do you understand saying that?
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah, a little bit.
David Dobrik
Even in New York, there's this great girl I was talking to, and she's like, let's go get coffee tomorrow. And, like, I'm like, what time? I'm like, are you nuts? Like, you want me to wake up at, like, a reasonable hour and get coffee with you in the morning?
Natalie Mariduena
I just think that you've had so much life experience that you're just like, kind of exhausted, like, rightfully so.
David Dobrik
But is that not like the stupidest thing to say?
Natalie Mariduena
Like, things like that don't like, stimulate you.
David Dobrik
Right?
Jason Nash
Yeah. Well said.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah.
David Dobrik
And like, like I always want to hang out at the house. Like, that's my main thing. And I think it's like, my house has a lot of activities, so, like, I feel like I get everything done here, whereas, I don't know, am I leaning on to something here? And I just, am I making sense of like, why I like to stay home more than like your average.
Natalie Mariduena
That's what I'm saying is like, you are so like your, your daily life. Not daily, but like your life is so overstimulating when it, when it has to be, you know, like your work is very stimulating. Yeah.
David Dobrik
Oh, okay. I never looked at it that way.
Natalie Mariduena
Yeah. So like, you genuine, like you just don't want to, like you're doing so much when we're working or when we're filming or we're doing whatever that like the other 50, 60% of the time, like, needs to just be like, I'm hungering down on the couch doing.
Jason Nash
Yeah. There's so many times we go to do stuff and then you pop into my mind and I go, now he wouldn't want to do that. Yeah, like, invite David and I'll be like, nah, he won't like that. She's like, really? And I'm like, nope, he won't like it.
David Dobrik
The thing I do love, I just love sitting on the couch. Like, this week we have to go to Columbus, Ohio for like, what? We're going to this Young LA thing.
Jason Nash
Oh, nice.
David Dobrik
Where we're gonna.
Natalie Mariduena
It's like Young LA has this big booth at the Arnold, like Expo.
Jason Nash
Oh, Ilya told me about. That's so cool.
David Dobrik
And every time we hang out with the young LA guys, we like, end up going out and drinking.
Jason Nash
Sure. I've been to Columbus. It's kind of fun.
David Dobrik
I'm excited because, like, I like those Midwest cities where it's like more low key.
Jason Nash
It's low key and fun.
David Dobrik
I think, I think it's gonna be awesome. Natalie's convinced that we're not gonna have to drink. And right after Columbus, we take, we take a connecting flight to Vegas. So this weekend again? Every weekend this week or every weekend for the next two weeks, we're like basically going somewhere.
Natalie Mariduena
So two weekends? No, no, sorry, not that crazy.
David Dobrik
For the next couple months, like we're always going somewhere every weekend and it's like. And, yeah, I think that adds to, like, the stimulation of this whole thing. Like, there's an activity planned for work all the time, and our work is the most fun and stimulating thing. So, yes, when I meet somebody and they want to do, like, they want to go bike riding on Venice Boulevard, I'm like, there's no way. There's no possible way I can do it. And I feel like such a fucking asshole.
Natalie Mariduena
Like, well, that's what makes it so hard. It's like, I think about that, too. Like, I'm doing so much and I'm so busy.
Jason Nash
Right?
Natalie Mariduena
Like, how the. I have to find someone that falls into my groove. Like, I don't want to sacrifice my amazing life.
Jason Nash
You guys are turning into the same person.
Natalie Mariduena
Like, how do I. How am I going to find a man?
David Dobrik
This is exactly why I say, why I had this weird epiphany this weekend where I'm like, not epiphany. Where I had this weird thought. I was like, why don't Natalie and I, like, hook up?
Natalie Mariduena
First of all, don't say hook up.
David Dobrik
I don't.
Natalie Mariduena
Like, I'm gonna be like, your side these.
David Dobrik
Oh, my God. She's like, if we're gonna do this, we're going full force, and there's no and. We're exclusive. I'm not some side chick. I'm your main hoe.
Jason Nash
Make a move, man.

VIEWS with David Dobrik & Jason Nash
Episode: David and Natalie Talk Hooking Up
Release Date: February 26, 2025
In this episode of VIEWS, hosts David Dobrik and Jason Nash kick off their conversation fresh off attending Heath and Mariah's wedding—a landmark event within their friend group. David reflects on the significance of the occasion, stating, "This is probably the biggest of our friend group." (00:16).
David and Jason delve into the lively happenings of the wedding, sharing anecdotes that paint a vivid picture of the night. A recurring theme is the attention David received from a persistent woman. Jason recounts, "There was a woman that was after Dave the whole time." (00:32), highlighting the unexpected social dynamics at play.
Natalie Mariduena adds to the narrative, mentioning how the woman also pursued other friends like Jack, Scott, and Ilya, emphasizing her strong interests: "She went through Natalie, she went through Jack and she went through Scott and also Ilya." (00:51).
The hosts praise the wedding venue, describing it as an expansive, beautifully connected space that felt like a grand home: "It was this huge fucking venue that, like, it just went from room to room to room." (04:18). They also commend the exceptional food and the warm atmosphere created by Mariah's parents.
Shifting gears, David shares his burgeoning interest in luxury watches, particularly Rolexes. He narrates a personal investment story: "I bought the watch, it was $35,000 on the gray market." (12:02). David explains the challenges of acquiring authentic Rolexes, noting the long waitlists and exorbitant prices on the gray market.
A pivotal moment occurs when David encounters a Rolex dealer who recognizes his watch, leading to a serendipitous deal: "She goes, what? You got it off the gray market?... She returns it, gets a better price." (13:52). This experience not only underscores David's luck but also his strategic approach to investments.
The conversation transitions to the contrast between life in New York City and Los Angeles. David expresses mixed feelings about relocating, highlighting New York's mature and sophisticated social scene: "Everyone's older, sophisticated, just feels like they kind of have, like, their shit together." (19:18).
Natalie and Jason discuss the challenges of bicoastal living, with Jason humorously noting, "The worst bicycle is the worst." (20:02), referencing the difficulties of maintaining a presence in both cities. Despite the allure of New York's vibrant culture, concerns about the harsh realities and lifestyle differences persist.
Jason shares heartwarming stories that emphasize the importance of kindness. He recounts helping an elderly woman struggling with heavy packages, stating, "We were walking up at that moment." (32:22). This act of generosity not only reflects their character but also inspires listeners to engage in similar deeds.
David adds to this sentiment by discussing a TikTok creator who humorously takes pictures of buttholes as a form of art, blending absurdity with social commentary: "There’s this guy blowing up on Instagram who takes pictures of people's buttholes." (24:23).
A significant portion of the discussion centers around Jason's dedication to his children's education. He reveals the high cost of private schooling, with a single year at a private high school costing "$50,000." (33:58). David expresses disbelief at the expense, emphasizing the financial strain: "That's fucking insane." (34:02).
Jason defends his choices by highlighting the positive experiences his children have had, such as meeting their bandmates and excelling academically: "He's killing it. He's just, like, had the best time and he had the best experience." (35:06). The conversation sheds light on the broader challenges of financing elite education while balancing personal and professional responsibilities.
Towards the episode's conclusion, David broaches the topic of his platonic relationship with Natalie, humorously contemplating the idea of them hooking up. Both affirm the strength and depth of their friendship without romantic entanglement. Natalie clarifies, "David is not... being your main hoe." (38:16), underscoring the mutual respect and boundaries that define their bond.
David reflects on their dynamic, recognizing how their teamwork enhances their daily lives: "I like that cheat. I like, like, like, even when we're at the club in the bar, and a girl starts talking to me and she's like, where do we go next? I'm like, I don't know." (39:12). This segment highlights the importance of enduring friendships amidst the chaos of their YouTube-driven lifestyles.
