Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. David’s Chaotic Miami & Vegas Trip

(01:05 - 13:20)

• David’s Last-Minute Decision to Attend Art Basel Miami

  • Flew out late, landed at 11pm, and faced a credit card crisis at the hotel.

  • Natalie was woken up at midnight to help David negotiate his way into a room.

  • David had forgotten his wallet and only had Apple Pay and a stack of cash meant to repay a bet to SteveWillDoIt.

    “You stupid motherfucker. You went on a plane without Natalie and without your credit cards?”
    – Jason Nash (02:11)

  • After Natalie’s intervention, David paid $1,000 in cash and got into his room—only to have the staff remove his minibar, “like a criminal.”

    “They took away the physical fridge and then the chips that would sit on top of the fridge...I was like, what am I, some sort of looter?”
    – David Dobrik (06:23)

• Partying Miami-Style

  • Straight from hotel to a boat party hosted by Alex Earl's canned margarita brand.

  • Hopped between house parties by boat, enjoying the city’s unique social scene.

    “You’re not stuck in a car dizzy. You’re, like, getting the most fresh air you possibly could when you’re on this boat and you pull up to house parties through the backyard.”
    – David Dobrik (07:20)

• The Surprise Stripper Encounter

  • David meets a woman at the party; turns out she's a stripper who offers to spend the night for $2,500.

  • David expresses feeling “bamboozled.”

    “I genuinely thought, boom. We hit it off for like 20 minutes...unless you don’t want me to. And you can pay me $2,500 for the night...I felt really, really bamboozled.”
    – David Dobrik (08:33, 08:55)

• Vegas and the “No Sleep” Lifestyle

  • After nearly no sleep, David joins SteveWillDoIt and friends for a whirlwind flight (Miami -> Orlando -> North Carolina -> Vegas) then meets up with Natalie and crew for more late-night adventures.

    “I was on that plane for like nine, ten hours...I got to my bed at like 6. But that’s when the crew arrived to set up a bit in the house.”
    – David Dobrik (12:04)

---

2. Should David Move to Miami?

(13:20 - 17:06)

• The Miami Temptation

  • David and Natalie debate the allure of moving to Miami: warm weather, tax benefits (“10 to 15% savings!”), vibrant party scene, and David’s “Miami bug” concerns.

  • Both admit affection for the city, but Natalie notes it may not change their real habits.

    “I have to move to Miami, by the way...I love the humidity. I like it when it’s like a sauna outside.”
    – David Dobrik (13:32, 15:41)

    “But have you seen the Miami girls?”
    – David Dobrik (15:56)

• Vices and Temptations

  • David worries he’d end up at nightclub Eleven “three days a week,” but friends assure him he’ll acclimate.

3. The Creative Feedback Conundrum: Jason’s Comedy Pilot

(18:31 - 45:53)

Airing Out the Elephant in the Room

• Jason’s Perspective: Vulnerability and Disappointment

  • Jason shares how he felt seeing friends react silently to his pilot—a passion project.

  • He describes a downward spiral that lasted weeks:

    “It’s so fucking demoralizing to put your heart and soul into something and to be like, wow, this is my passion project...and I got over here and...it arrived fucking DOA in that room right there.”
    – Jason Nash (21:36)

• David/Natalie’s Perspective: The Struggle to Give Honest, Negative Feedback

  • David explains it’s hard to critique friends’ creative work, preferring not to say anything if he dislikes something.

    “Like, you’re gonna love that. I’m gonna love it...But it’s impossible for me to give a negative critique.”
    – David Dobrik (25:34, 25:44)

  • Natalie points out that sometimes, friends’ feedback is tough because it’s seen as “final,” and not a work in progress.

    “The challenging part was that it was the final edit. You made that clear when we watched it, too.”
    – Natalie (25:10)

• Debate: Should You Be Brutally Honest?

  • Jason wishes they’d been more direct: “You didn’t like it. That’s OK.”

  • David and Natalie admit silence was their method of “not loving it,” but it unintentionally hurt more.

    “Strong as a person to be like…okay, listen, that’s okay.”
    – Natalie (23:19)

• Positive Outcomes and Lessons Learned

  • Jason finds some vindication: many YouTube comments on his video are supportive, and he has new meetings set up.

  • David reiterates his respect for Jason’s comedic talent, arguing the pilot didn’t capture what makes Jason so funny in real life.

    “You are one degree away from being a really good comedian...I’m lucky I get to film with you, because you’re…so many levels above us in comedy.”
    – David Dobrik (28:36)

• Creative Process Takeaways

  • The crew (with Alex chiming in) debates if familiarity with the setting and cast hindered their judgment.

  • Discuss importance of separating personal taste from public/YouTube audience reactions.

    “Don’t take my (or our) opinion as gospel...If the comments are so positive, maybe you should listen to us less.”
    – David Dobrik (46:13)

• Memorable Moment:

  • David’s verdict on Jason’s feedback plea:

    “Next time you show me a pilot...just deadass me.”
    – David Dobrik (45:49, 46:07)

---

4. Relationships & the “Fuckboy” Definition

(32:53 - 36:13)

• Natalie brings up a guy she likes, and a friend warns her he’s a “fuckboy.”

• The trio debates what that term really means:

  • Not just someone who sleeps around, but someone who’s careless or manipulative with others’ feelings.

    “I think a fuckboy is, like, you’re a fucking douche...a fuckboy is somebody that’s gonna fuck you over. Like, doesn’t give a shit about you.”
    – Natalie (33:53)

  • David wonders aloud if fame exempts one from the label, using Harry Styles as an example.

• Modern Dating Surveillance

  • Natalie’s friend surveils her crush, sending clandestine videos—sparking a comic exchange about modern dating vs. privacy.

    “You guys live in such a strange time...you know, film somebody and send it to your friend.”
    – Jason Nash (35:25)

---

5. Podcast Award Snubs & Pop-Culture Game

(37:40 - 39:58)

• Jason quizzes David and Natalie on Golden Globe podcast nominees.

  • Surprises: famous names omitted (Theo Von and Joe Rogan).

  • Nominees include “Up First” (NPR), Dax Shepard, “SmartLess,” “Call Her Daddy,” and Mel Robbins.

    “Wait a minute. There’s a change, but the big story is...they’re not doing right wing podcasts.”
    – Jason Nash (39:49)

  • Lighthearted banter about being “right wing” and jokingly blaming that for their lack of nomination.

---

6. Audience Engagement & Wrapping Up

(43:19 - end)

• Jason encourages listeners to leave honest feedback on his pilot and insists he’ll grow as a creator because of friend and fan criticism.

• The friends agree on the importance of honest support, with Natalie expressing empathy for creative vulnerability.

  “If I did something and you guys didn’t like it, I would like to know before I put it out there.”
  – Natalie (44:30)

• Final lesson: Sometimes public feedback (YouTube comments) can outshine that of your immediate circle—audiences are different.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On being bamboozled by a stripper:
  “I genuinely thought, boom. We hit it off for like 20 minutes...unless you don’t want me to. And you can pay me $2,500 for the night...”
  – David Dobrik (08:33)

• On creative honesty:
  “You didn’t like it. That’s okay. And what I’ve learned is, like, comedy—it is subjective, right?”
  – Jason Nash (22:24)

• On supporting a friend’s creative risk:
  “I do it again...that’s just because you’re so nice.”
  – Jason Nash and David Dobrik (23:27)

• On learning from feedback:
  “It’s good to have a bunch of people tell me no, because when I go again...let me try to make it, like, a little better in that regard.”
  – Jason Nash (45:31)

[Jason Ash]

[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. We are back. It has been the longest weekend of our lives.

[Natalie]

Oh my God. Oh my God.

[David Dobrik]

I won't talk about super big details because some will be in the vlog, but I have had a. I've had a long week.

[Jason Ash]

Tell everybody who cares.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I won't say like, what bits are in everything.

[Jason Ash]

What'd you do?

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what did I do? Okay, so I made a decision to go to Miami Art Basel, which was crazy.

[Jason Ash]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

So I went last second.

[Jason Ash]

Incredible.

[David Dobrik]

Very fun. Very good vibes. I landed at 10pm okay. And went straight from the airport to my hotel. They wouldn't let me get into my room.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, so you couldn't even go around and choose your room like you like to do?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no.

[Jason Ash]

You weren't there, were you?

[Natalie]

No, but I got the phone call.

[Jason Ash]

Even worse. It'd be better that if you were getting the phone. Yeah, getting the phone call is worse than being there.

[David Dobrik]

I checked in and they said we need a credit card put on file. And I know it's going to sound stupid.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, no.

[David Dobrik]

I don't travel with credit cards.

[Natalie]

He doesn't have a wallet.

[David Dobrik]

I don't have a wallet.

[Jason Ash]

You stupid motherfucker. You went to on a plane without Natalie without your credit cards?

[David Dobrik]

Really dumb.

[Jason Ash]

Unbelievable.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm like, okay. They're like, no credit card. I'm like, can you just charge the one that we use to book the room? Like, no, we can't. This woman was cold. She's like a 60, 70 year old woman. She was just cold. She's like, nope, sorry. I'm like, what do I do? She. I have My bags. I'm like, okay. And I'm not the one to give attitude to the workers. So I called Natalie.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Fucking like, natalie, what did you do you.

[Natalie]

And he landed at, like, midnight, too. And I got a phone call. He's like, I can't get into the hotel. Blah, blah, blah. So I'm frantic because I don't know how. Where he's gonna sleep. Like, he's only there for, like, eight hours.

[David Dobrik]

And I didn't know. I didn't see anybody at the. At the hotel that I knew.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Which would have been very easy if I ran to someone.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I would have been like, can I just use your credit card? I'll PayPal you.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But so luckily, Natalie, what'd you book.

[Jason Ash]

It on hotels.com or something?

[Natalie]

No.

[Jason Ash]

Like, why can't you book the room with a credit card?

[David Dobrik]

I have no idea.

[Natalie]

Well, he didn't have his.

[David Dobrik]

I had Apple pay.

[Jason Ash]

Apple.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, sorry, I forgot to say that they wouldn't accept Apple pay. They needed a physical card, so I had Apple pay. Normally, that's how I pay for things and whatever. And then Natalie negotiated something on the phone. They're like, can you just pay with cash?

[Natalie]

I kept telling him. I was like, I'm sorry. It's. It's midnight. You know, like, we're kind of out of options here. And I called her, the hotels. You need a physical credit card anywhere. So I was like, you're only. You have to stay at this hotel. Like, you have to figure out a way for them to let you stay.

[David Dobrik]

Right. She's, like, asked to speak to the supervisor.

[Natalie]

I was like, you got to go, Karen on this bitch. You got to ask.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm like, I'm not fucking asking somebody to speak to their supervisor. Like, that is the most insane fucking thing I've ever heard.

[Jason Ash]

Why not? Why can't you do that? Why? Because of who you are.

[David Dobrik]

Well, you want to give one that's a hundred percent? I can't do that.

[Jason Ash]

Because. Because of who you are. Right. You don't want to come off. You don't want someone to have a story like, well, David Dobrik was funny. Asked to see her supervisor.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I mean, that's ridiculous.

[Jason Ash]

That's funny.

[David Dobrik]

I wasn't really concerned about that because this woman had no idea who I was. She was like. I said she was an older woman. No idea.

[Jason Ash]

True.

[David Dobrik]

So that was, like, a concern of mine. I just, like, don't like uttering those words. Like, it's like the most cliche words can I see. I did feel like that. But I think Natalie called and asked to see the supervisor over the phone. What did you do?

[Natalie]

Oh, I called and I was just like, well, I don't want to give away my secrets, you know? But I called and I said a couple little things.

[David Dobrik]

It's his last week on Earth. He needs a room to stay out.

[Jason Ash]

This guy's fucking stupid as hell. Please just let him in. He'll probably fucking die if you don't let him in the hotel.

[David Dobrik]

He's my abusive ex boyfriend. I had to get him a room. Please. He'll come back to the apartment if you don't let him stay there. Could you imagine if that's what Natalie said?

[Natalie]

No. But then I just explained she was a very nice, like, rational woman. And then she was like, okay, let me go up to the front and see if we can just figure this out, you know, whatever.

[David Dobrik]

Long story short, they figured it out. They figured it out, luckily, at a stack of $10,000 because I owed Steve will do it. $10,000. I don't know if we. Did we talk about this on the podcast?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, maybe he was.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, there was one night he called me. We were in Florida. He called me, and he's like, dave, you want to bet against this? I'm watching this high school. I'm at a high school game right now. Do you want to bet against them? I have one of the teams. And you bet against them and. Yeah. However much you want to bet. And I was like, okay. And I feel when Steve calls about money, I kind of feel indebted to him because he's gotten me a Tesla. He's gotten me a brand new watch. Like, he's gotten me a lot of stuff. So I'm like, okay, like, I'll bet 10. And I lost that bet over the phone. And the winning high school team ended up getting, like, a hundred thousand dollars. He met the high school team. He said, add a Chili's. And he gave each of the players 10 grand. Wow. Yeah. Which was a big deal. And he said. I asked him. I was like, were the players really excited about the money? And he's like, no, they're more excited about the chil. Which is really funny. So, anyway, so I had the money to repay Steve, So luckily, I got to use some of the cash. So I used $1,000 to get the room. They let me upstairs. It was a thousand bucks, which isn't a lot.

[Jason Ash]

Cash.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And then. And then she's like, but we're gonna have to take the mini bar, out of the room. And I was like, what do you. I feel like a fucking criminal. Like, what am I, some sort of looter? So I literally went. They came. The staff came up to my room.

[Jason Ash]

Sorry, you can't have any of the Roll Gold.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. The staff came up to my room. They took away all the stickers, the Milky Way, everything.

[Jason Ash]

They took away the actual lunch. McCall.

[David Dobrik]

They took away the physical fridge and then the chips that would sit on top of the fridge. Oh, my God, that was so strange. I was like, first of all, you have $1,000 for me. The minibar does not add up to that. Like, just, like, keep the money from me. But you do for snacks, order Taco Bell. Oh, wow. So at 10. Okay. So I landed at, like, 11pm Life you live. And then there was a car outside for me at 11:15. I use that to go to p.m. yeah, 11:15pm So I use that to go to a party on a boat. Alex Earl was having this, like, Sit Margs thing, which is really great.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Big fan of Margs. I have a lot of friends that, like, work with her. And what is that? I love Alex. I love her friends.

[Jason Ash]

What is it? Margarita Company.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Okay. Like a Can. Can Margarita. Yeah.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It was on this beautiful boat. And then what's so incredible about Miami is, like, after we were done with that boat, one of our friends had another boat, and we got on his boat, and then we went to, like, two different house parties with the boat.

[Jason Ash]

That fun.

[David Dobrik]

It's fucking insane. So you're, like, tipsy, but you're like. You're not stuck in a car dizzy. You're, like, getting the most fresh air you possibly could when you're on this boat and you pull up to house parties through the backyard.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, it's so crazy. So we pull up, we dock at the house party.

[Jason Ash]

That's fun.

[David Dobrik]

And then we come in. And then at the end of the night, which was like, 4:00am for me, I Ubered home from the front of the house.

[Jason Ash]

So you did Miami with no money.

[David Dobrik]

I did Miami with no money.

[Jason Ash]

Pretty impressive. What were you wearing? Did you wear shorts? Oh, I met a girl.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I met a girl, and this was fucking crazy. We were talking about our plans.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And she was. She was. Turned out to be a stripper. Surprise, surprise.

[Natalie]

Classic day.

[David Dobrik]

Classic day.

[Jason Ash]

Do you find them or do they find you?

[Natalie]

I think that they see a sucker when they. Or they know a sucker when they see one.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I thought she was genuinely into me.

[Jason Ash]

What was her Name.

[David Dobrik]

I don't wanna say her name. Starshine. I thought she was genuinely into me and then she's like, I have to go to work. I'm like, oh, okay. Like she was like leaving at like 10 or like when was it? Like 10 minutes past midnight.

[Jason Ash]

Like very get the night shift at Kroger.

[David Dobrik]

Well, she's going, she's. I think she's going 11.

But she's like, she's like, I have to go to work. Unless you don't want me to.

[Natalie]

Wing Link.

[David Dobrik]

Unless you don't want me to. And you, you can pay me 2500 for the night.

[Natalie]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, what the just happened? I genuinely thought, boom. We hit it off for like 20 minutes.

[Natalie]

That is kind of sad.

[David Dobrik]

Went back into the cash that I had for Steve. Yeah.

[Natalie]

Shut the up.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Natalie]

Oh my God.

[Jason Ash]

Wow. Wow.

[David Dobrik]

I drew, I drew the line there. I can't, can't ever do that. But it was kind of crazy and I felt really bamboozled. Like I felt really, really bamboozled. Cuz it's one thing to prey on me in a strip club. Cuz you, I am very soft when it comes to that kind of stuff. But for it to happen without me understanding that it's a stripper and like the in touches, that was crazy to me.

[Jason Ash]

Listen, I don't. I'm going to say this gently. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Did she not give off stripper vibes or were you just kind of blinded by.

[David Dobrik]

By a. There's Miami. Strippers aren't like strippers.

[Jason Ash]

Right. That's what I'm getting at. Like you can't tell they're strippers?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no. Not at all. And like, I don't know, like when I think of stripper in my head, I think of Grand Theft Auto, the video game, and I think of strippers in the strip club there.

[Jason Ash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Like very like where's my prayers? But like Miami for some reason is like you really don't know.

[Jason Ash]

And like you could have just paid Steve 7,500. He would have understood. He probably would have been psyched for you.

[David Dobrik]

He would have given me more money, paid you more.

[Jason Ash]

Probably wouldn't happy for you.

[David Dobrik]

There was funny.

[Jason Ash]

I love what you're doing.

[David Dobrik]

I'm editing a blooper video right now. One of the jokes Steve is like, he bought. He got us a room at the hotel he's staying in.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

He's like. And I was like, thank you so much, Steve. And he And Steve's like, yep, all you have to do is a hooker tonight. And you're good. And I'm like, it's really funny.

[Jason Ash]

Dave, I got you a Christmas present.

[David Dobrik]

What is it?

[Jason Ash]

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. And guess what?

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Ash]

I've arranged for you to be on the Jumbotron.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I can't tell if you're big.

And in the morning I woke up to meet up with Steve at around 10:00am So I slept very, very little. 10:00am to the airport. Steve was late to the airport by an hour and a half. He's on Steve time. Obviously. I should have fucking known that I was rushing to the airport. I was like texting him. I'm so sorry, I'm six minutes late. And he's like, dude, we're not leaving my house for another hour. I was like, fuck, I'm so stupid. For not like computing that. And then we got into the plane.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

We flew to pick up Corinna in Orlando. So he flew his plane from Miami to Orlando. And then from Orlando we flew to North Carolina because he went to go pick up another friend. And then from North Carolina, we flew to Vegas. It was two stops from Miami to Vegas. I was on that plate for like nine, 10 hours. And then I met Natalie Zane and our film filmer Ferris in Vegas. Vegas at like what time?

[Natalie]

Like 10:00pm? Nine. Ten.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, nine or 10:00pm and then we went out at like, what, one? At like one in Vegas.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

And then we flew home with the chain smokers at about five, five in the morning. And then I got, I got to my bed at like 6. But that's when the crew arrived here to set up a bit in the house.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So it was, they were, they, were they already. They needed help setting up and letting in and it was just like straight into.

[Jason Ash]

That's a whirlwind.

[David Dobrik]

It was, it's been crazy. It's been, it was.

[Jason Ash]

I'm surprised you're awake.

[David Dobrik]

It was a crazy 36 hours.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Or 40.

[Jason Ash]

Whatever would you do now? Take a little rest while he was gone and then get ready for Vegas.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

I mean, the day that he went, the night he went to Miami, I went to bed. I like got like a full 12 hours of sleep that night because I knew it was going to be like a crazy next 48 hours. Nice.

[David Dobrik]

I was so happy to send me off to Miami.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God, I was so happy. And I love Miami off. If he really tried a little harder, I probably would have gone, to be honest.

[Jason Ash]

Yes, yes, yes.

[David Dobrik]

I did kind of feel that.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

But I, I knew, like, I had to be responsible.

[David Dobrik]

I have to move to Miami, by the way.

[Jason Ash]

Wait, wait. When you were leaving for Miami, you could, you could sense it. And not like she wanted a little invite, a little push.

[Natalie]

She had the edge.

[Jason Ash]

What did she do?

[David Dobrik]

I asked her and she didn't say no. So I was like, I could, if I wanted to, I could convince her. But I was like, this is going to be such a miserable trip, Dave.

[Jason Ash]

To spare her.

[David Dobrik]

But I should have had her. Why I should have had her come is for this reason, because I was filming with Steve. Right. Steve is one of the funniest guys ever.

[Jason Ash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

But he doesn't know he's funny. So like, when you're filming him, like, when a lot of, when you're watching my vlog, most of the clips end in Laughter. And that is not because I'm laughing at every clip. That's because I only choose the clips that I'm laughing. Yeah, but it was like, it was really difficult with Steve because Steve doesn't laugh. He says the craziest things, but he just says it under his breath.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I've never seen him laugh.

[David Dobrik]

No, he doesn't really laugh, but, like, everything he says is fucking insane. I can't believe he just said that. Like, he got into, like, the funniest fight with his mom, but his mom is. It's. It's like, you know, it's like when you're watching a comedy on TV and no one's laughing, but it is funny. That is exactly what Steve is, and that's not what my vlog is. So I was like, I wish Natalie was here. There was someone to, like, share in this, like, laughter because it's. He's. He's really, really funny guy. But. Yeah. And then we came back and now we're here. Oh, I. What I was saying, I really want to move to Miami. I'm like, I want to make it.

[Natalie]

I keep saying this to you. We should absolutely do it.

[David Dobrik]

I just, like, can't.

[Jason Ash]

Why do you want to move there?

[David Dobrik]

One like taxes. Kind of a no brainer, right? For taxes?

[Jason Ash]

You really save that much?

[Natalie]

You save, like, at least 10 to 15%.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I guess when you're making as.

[Natalie]

Much as you are. Yeah, it's a lot.

[David Dobrik]

Well, you save 10 to 15% no matter how much you make or make.

[Jason Ash]

100,000 a year.

[David Dobrik]

10 to 15. What do you mean?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. But yeah, you live in California.

[David Dobrik]

You have the weather.

[Jason Ash]

You have, bro. Humid there, Brother Jay.

[David Dobrik]

I love that.

[Jason Ash]

Why is Tate shaking your head?

[David Dobrik]

No?

[Jason Ash]

Let's go over the table.

[Natalie]

Miami. Miami.

[Jason Ash]

What'd she say?

[David Dobrik]

She said, I don't know. Miami, Miami. That's not true. I really. I love the humidity. I like it when it's like a sauna outside.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, you like that?

[David Dobrik]

That's what excites me. Yeah, that's what, like, gets me going and I'm sweating no matter what.

[Jason Ash]

No, man.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Jason Ash]

That balmy Florida.

[Natalie]

I like it. Like going to the beach, you know? Have you seen the Miami bugs?

[Jason Ash]

Thank you, Tay. Good, good point.

[David Dobrik]

That is the one thing that I won't do is Miami bugs. But have you seen the Miami girls?

[Natalie]

I am a Miami girl.

[Jason Ash]

There's no song about Miami girls. It's California girls.

[Natalie]

True. Cali girls.

[David Dobrik]

But Will Smith has that girl.

[Natalie]

Taylor's in Miami and a Cali girl.

[Jason Ash]

Let's go.

[Natalie]

Festival of Worlds. Texas girl and Texas. I'm Miami. Texas and California.

[David Dobrik]

It's like four red flags.

[Natalie]

It's like four red flags. Three.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I'm kind of down to figure out, like, a Miami situation.

[Natalie]

Okay, don't say that because, like, I literally ask all the time if.

[David Dobrik]

If I was there, I would visit the nightclub eleven too often.

[Natalie]

I think you say that, but, like, you don't actually go all the time.

[David Dobrik]

See, I was talking to some people there and there because every time I go, like, people are really convincing of, like, me moving there. And I've now I've started to, like, make my own fronts there, and I'm actually, like, actually really like some of the people there.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But, yeah, a lot of them, it's 50. 50. Because a lot of every time I meet somebody, I'm like, I always say the same thing. I'm like, I don't want to end up going to 11 three days a week. And half of them say, well, you just get used to it.

And then the other half say, like, you won't do that when you're here.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, wow.

[Natalie]

I feel like that's just you saying, like, I'm not gonna go to Zouk three days a week while you're here.

[David Dobrik]

Well, but no, no, no.

[Jason Ash]

That's two different things, right?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no Zook at the club. Have you been to 11 Taylor?

[Natalie]

Yes, I've been to 11.

[Jason Ash]

7 11.

[Natalie]

7 11.

[David Dobrik]

But yeah.

[Natalie]

Close your eyes. Exhale.

[Jason Ash]

Feel your body relax.

[Natalie]

And let go of whatever you're carrying today.

[Jason Ash]

Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get for this class.

[Natalie]

[Jason Ash]

All right, I got something to talk about. Oh, I posted my pilot and you guys hated it. And everyone liked it.

[David Dobrik]

We didn't hate it.

[Jason Ash]

Yes, you did. You hated it.

[Natalie]

We didn't get a smile from things.

[David Dobrik]

I didn't hate it.

[Natalie]

We had constructive criticism.

[Jason Ash]

There was no constructive criticism.

[Natalie]

Wait, I sent you such a nice tag.

[Jason Ash]

You sent me a nice tag.

[David Dobrik]

What did people say about the pilot?

[Jason Ash]

People really liked it. People loved it. I have 467 comments.

[Natalie]

Wait, that's really good.

[David Dobrik]

That's really Good.

[Natalie]

Is it 467?

[David Dobrik]

67 comments?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, actually, I have more, I think.

[Natalie]

Wait, on Instagram or.

[Jason Ash]

No, on YouTube. I'm a pilot.

Is it good?

[David Dobrik]

No, that is still great.

[Jason Ash]

The views are. The views are just not great.

[David Dobrik]

But spam bots.

[Jason Ash]

No, no, they're real.

[David Dobrik]

People need to get Amazon 50 gift card. 380 of those.

[Jason Ash]

Guess. Guess how many views it has.

[David Dobrik]

140,000.

[Jason Ash]

Okay, let's move on.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Natalie]

140,000.

[Jason Ash]

What?

No, I'm not there yet.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, okay, 75.

[Jason Ash]

Not there yet.

[David Dobrik]

50.

[Jason Ash]

It's only been up for two days, Dave.

[Natalie]

15 to 20.

[Jason Ash]

I have 23,000. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah, that's pretty good.

[Jason Ash]

It's fine.

[David Dobrik]

But, but hold on. But the fine like that. Now you're making me feel bad.

[Jason Ash]

Well, you should feel better. You should wait. Yeah, you over guess me like I did with your tv.

[David Dobrik]

That was not me over guessing. Because I get around like 15002000 comments on like a 3 million viewed video. I was doing the math there, right? Maybe those 23,000, like, that's crazy. The point. Comments to 23,000 views is like, pretty fucking insane.

[Jason Ash]

The point is, I showed it to you and you. You didn't like it.

[David Dobrik]

That's not true.

[Jason Ash]

And you know, it's just like. And then I left here like, well, maybe it's not good, but it is good. I know it's good. And I'm getting calls and I have meetings set up with big comedy people. Really? So there's.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm supportive.

[Jason Ash]

You're the executive producer. You should be fucking championing me.

[David Dobrik]

Executive producer? That's a loose title.

[Jason Ash]

I put your name on it.

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Ash]

Did you know how awkward that is? Like, you put your name on. Like, we were doing the titles and I was like, the credits. And I was like, oh, we gotta put Dave as executive producer. And they were like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was really nice. You really paid, like, the director's like, that's so nice. Wait, that he bailed out?

[David Dobrik]

Why do you think I didn't like it?

[Jason Ash]

Because you sat on that couch and you fucking, you were sick to your stomach. I've never seen such a, such a horrible look on someone's face.

[Natalie]

You did. You need to work on your poker.

[Jason Ash]

You were awful. And, and you, you're the worst. And you didn't say a thing. And you let John Castro go away. You let John. He let John Castro do all the dirty work. John Castro's like, oh, I don't know, Jay. It didn't make no sense to me. I, I, I, I was trying to find out. I was trying to understand what people were talking about. You should maybe try to make it so people can understand it more. It's like, you. And then even, like, I didn't get it. I didn. Like, it's so fucking demoralizing to put your heart and soul into something and to be like, wow, this is my passion project. I'm finally getting to do it. And David had fucking allowed me to do it, which I'm so grateful of. And then I got over here and this was a while ago. This was, like, three months ago. And it's been a bit of an elephant in the room.

And I went over and I showed it to them on, like, a Saturday afternoon. Naveen was out of town. Naveen was like, I don't know. Maybe she wasn't out of town, but.

[David Dobrik]

She'S like, bit of an elephant in the room is so funny. Okay.

[Jason Ash]

And so then finally I was like, okay, I'm gonna screen it for these guys. And I sent it to Naveen before I left. I'm like, they're not gonna like it. She's like, what do you mean they're not gonna like it? This is your fucking passion project. This is the thing that you love, like, so much. It's so good. People have watched it. They like it. And then I fucking screened it here, and it arrived. Fucking DOA in that room right there.

[David Dobrik]

Dead on arrival.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. So there's a lot to unpack here.

[Natalie]

Okay, you go first.

[David Dobrik]

No, you go first.

[Jason Ash]

I mean, you didn't like it. That's okay.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Ash]

And what I've learned first, and what I've learned is, like, comedy, it is subjective, right?

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Like, it is.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, how would you have wanted me to react?

[Jason Ash]

Okay. Like, if you went out and you, like, made a movie and. And I watched it and I screened it.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

I'd be like, dave, this was really good. This was really Good. Like, I loved this part. This was so good. Your acting was really good here. The writing was good. I did not like. I did not like this part. Like, I didn't get it.

[David Dobrik]

It's just really tough. Cause you showed us something that was finished. So it's like, I'm not gonna be like, oh, I didn't like this, or, I didn't like this.

[Jason Ash]

No, I could go back and fix. It wasn't finished.

[David Dobrik]

It didn't really feel like it. Right? Like, it didn't feel like there was like. I don't know. Regardless, I didn't hate it. I liked it.

[Jason Ash]

You hated it.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. You're putting me in a tough.

[Jason Ash]

You didn't like it either.

[Natalie]

And I'll be honest with you.

[Jason Ash]

You didn't like it. That's okay.

Stronger as a person to be like.

[Natalie]

Okay, listen, that's okay.

[David Dobrik]

If you came to me. If you came to me and asked me to fund. Yeah, I will. I would.

[Jason Ash]

I would. Oh, that's nice.

[David Dobrik]

I do it again.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, but that's just because you're so nice.

[Natalie]

But it's also like, you have to be realistic. Like, oh, you know, the type of comedy or things that we enjoy watching are like. You know, there's like, serious budget behind that. Like, you were putting that together with, you know, a couple thousand dollars or whatever it was you gave him. I don't remember, but like, six.

[David Dobrik]

No, I gave him 300,000.

[Natalie]

Oh, shit. Never mind. I'll shut up. Like, you know, like.

[Jason Ash]

Sure, but can't you appreciate something that was made for only $6,000?

[David Dobrik]

You're making it sound like we shat on you after it.

[Jason Ash]

You didn't shat on me. You said nothing.

[David Dobrik]

I know, and I felt really bad about it.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, you did?

[David Dobrik]

I did.

[Jason Ash]

So then why did you call me and say something He's.

[David Dobrik]

Because how am I gonna say, like, I didn't love it?

Like, I don't. I don't know how to say that. I don't know how to say that.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, I guess.

[David Dobrik]

I guess I mean that. Am I right?

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[David Dobrik]

Like, yeah, I felt I'll actually back.

[Jason Ash]

You up because I guess you said that. You said I didn't love it by not saying it. Like, I knew you didn't love it. I was like, oh, you didn't? Like, I go up back to Naveen and I was like, they hated it. She's like, what? They didn't like it? And I was like, no, they hated it. I was like, I told you. I fucking told you not to show it to them.

[David Dobrik]

Huh?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

This is so interesting. It is so interesting.

[Natalie]

But you also think it's good to have opinions across the board.

[Jason Ash]

You know, it is. It is. And I even feel.

[David Dobrik]

I feel bad. You're making me feel bad. And I don't want to be the victim here.

[Natalie]

The fact that you're gonna literally turn this and make it about you is.

[Jason Ash]

You'Re not the victim. I have 500 comments that say, okay, good, good, good. And a couple of them that agree with you. Like, a few.

[David Dobrik]

I guess I should have been more vocal about, like. But it is not liking it a little bit.

[Jason Ash]

So what is it? So you can't have a confrontation with somebody? Is that what it is?

[Natalie]

Well, I think the challenging part was that it was the final edit. You made that clear when we watched it, too.

[Jason Ash]

Like, I could have gone back and.

[Natalie]

Fixed it, but, like, you could have fixed, like, the coloring. There wasn't. There was, like, no storyline editing could have been altered at that point, which.

[Jason Ash]

I think was like, oh, oh, oh.

[David Dobrik]

Well, it's really hard. I said this when I went to Noah Beck's movie premiere.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I said this on my SNAP story or summer or actually probably talked about it here I was like, if I'm going to a friend's movie.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you're gonna love that. I'm gonna love it.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, well, I guess I'm not your friend.

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Ash]

But Noah Beck is your friend. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

No dog.

[Jason Ash]

I love that.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, that's how. That's how I'm saying. I'm just saying that, like. Like, it's impossible to ever give, like, for me to give a negative critique.

[Jason Ash]

Except when it's huge.

[David Dobrik]

Like, look at me review. Have you watched me on SNAP review food?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

There's moments I. I eat stuff and I go, and I really vomit it out later because I just. Because there's a person behind that that created it. And, like, I just feel really bad, and I'm like. I don't know what to. I don't know what to say. It wasn't my cup of tea.

[Jason Ash]

Okay, Jay, I.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

No, I mean, yeah, it was, but, like, why would the fuck would I tell you that? Should I have not been quiet? Yes. Could I have found one rewarding thing that I liked about it?

[Jason Ash]

I tried. You didn't like my acting. You didn't like any of the storylines. You didn't like any of the people that were in it. You didn't like the coloring. I Thought. I thought it looked good. You could have said anything. You could have been like, oh, that's really.

[David Dobrik]

Jay, if I said something about the. You knew, you know, that I would. If I said one positive thing. Yeah. You would have been able to tell just the same way than me not saying anything. Yeah, Jay, the coloring and your acting was really good.

Eat my ass.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, but. But what it did was it took me in, like, a downward spiral, okay, for, like, three weeks, where I was like, oh, my God, this is trash. I'm like, this is trash. And so then I would, like, talk to the director, and I'd be like, this is trash.

[David Dobrik]

I'm so sorry.

[Jason Ash]

And he'd be like, no, no, it's not trash. It's good. It's good. And I'm like, no, it's not good. I'm like, we fucked up. Like, this is not good. My two best friends sat silently on the couch and from the Philippines told me it was shit.

You gotta fix. I don't know, Jay. More like tires. More like our office.

[Natalie]

Jay. I was gonna say.

[Jason Ash]

I think I hated it, too.

[David Dobrik]

What did you think of the day?

[Natalie]

I think some will like it.

[Jason Ash]

I mean, you know what? You got everybody drinking your Kool Aid over here.

[David Dobrik]

That's crazy.

[Jason Ash]

You haven't seen it.

[Natalie]

I did. I. I was there.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, you were there.

[Natalie]

I also didn't say anything.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, you were there that day.

[Natalie]

I was. I didn't know what to say after. I was at a loss for words.

[Jason Ash]

Taylor didn't like it either. You know what, Taylor? I thought for sure if you were there, you would have liked it.

[Natalie]

No, but then I was enjoying John's commentary, so I was just like, you know.

[Jason Ash]

So Taylor didn't like it either.

[Natalie]

He took the cake. He just, you know, took it away with.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Ash]

Taylor didn't like it. David didn't like it. Natalie didn't like it. John didn't like it. Alex didn't like it.

There's no fucking way.

[David Dobrik]

You know why? Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna be brutally honest with you.

[Jason Ash]

I know what you're gonna say.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay, go. And. And. And Alex, hit it the best on the head.

[Jason Ash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Go, roommate. Alex. Alex goes. I am the biggest Jason Nash fan.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I think he's the funniest out of everybody. And I didn't like it.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Do you know what I mean?

[Jason Ash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

I think that's what it was. Because I think we know how, like, capable you are.

[Jason Ash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Of being. You're actually. You're very, very funny. And I've always, I've always said this about you, that you are like, you are one degree away from being a really good comedian. And I'm. And I've always been so lucky that you fail that. And I've gotten to film with you, like, genuinely like, and, and, and sorry, Phil, that, that was like, so. You know what I mean?

[Jason Ash]

Keep him coming, man. I got a bottle of pills and a gun over here.

[David Dobrik]

No, no.

[Jason Ash]

End it off.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry, sorry.

[Jason Ash]

I'm. I'm. I'm going to unlist the video, guys. I'm unlisting the video.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what does that mean? Like, you're private.

[Jason Ash]

I'm just taking it off. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no.

[Jason Ash]

Going to private the video.

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Ash]

JJ, here goes the 22,000 views we had. Everything is fine, guys. It was up for a couple days. I didn't like it. So go ahead, finish what you're saying.

[David Dobrik]

No, but I, I always, like, pay you, like, pay you a compliment that, like, I'm very lucky that I get to film with you because you're like so many levels above us in comedy. You're just really, really funny.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, thanks.

[David Dobrik]

And I think that's why.

[Jason Ash]

And you guys, we didn't see that.

[David Dobrik]

Version of you, so we got. I think we got thrown.

[Jason Ash]

What don't you see about it? It's literally a guy, dude. I'm living my life. Like, I just don't understand.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know.

[Jason Ash]

I don't know what did Alex not. Alex didn't get it. He didn't like it.

[David Dobrik]

Should we bring him in?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. Cuz I wasn screaming.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, you're more funnier than just screaming. I can't wait to bring Alex in. Wait, this is a conversation for everyone, guys.

[Jason Ash]

If you want to go check out the pilot, you can. And you can leave a comment that David and Natalie did not like it. You can leave a comment there and just say everyone's entitled their opinion and I am not. I am not deleting bad comments on this. Next time you show me a vlog, Dave, I'm just going to be like, okay.

That'S different. Why is it different?

[David Dobrik]

Because you make them with me and you're making. You're like, they're making them.

[Jason Ash]

But I wish you would make this with me.

[David Dobrik]

I just, like, I'm so not into that.

[Jason Ash]

Why aren't you into acting and like, doing like, a script?

[David Dobrik]

Because I can't see, even if you directed, because I can't see a world where I make a good script or I make a good, like, show.

[Jason Ash]

So Hi, brother.

[David Dobrik]

I don't like it.

[Jason Ash]

It's where you should be. What are you talking about?

[David Dobrik]

You sound. You literally sound like.

[Jason Ash]

I sound like an agent.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, you sound like an agent.

[Jason Ash]

Hey, man, you really got to get on the Hollywood train. Yeah, we've got meetings set up all over town, man. You're the hot.

[David Dobrik]

You need to advance yourself from the Internet. You're more than that.

[Jason Ash]

You are more than that. You're a star.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm just like. That's just not my world. Also. That's why it's really not my world to comment on whether what's. What's good or what's not.

[Jason Ash]

But why wouldn't you want to, like, direct something and, like, do something scripted? I think you'd be so good at it, and it's so fun.

[David Dobrik]

I just don't think I'd be good at it. Like, if I had an idea, I would immediately jump in.

[Natalie]

[Jason Ash]

What's the story?

[David Dobrik]

She thinks he's a what do you think?

[Natalie]

Well, I had a little birdie tell me that he may or may not be a fuckboy.

[David Dobrik]

And then I've been saying that he's obviously a fuckboy. And also, who cares that he's a fuck boy?

[Jason Ash]

I was the definition of a fuckboy. Like, hard definition go.

[Natalie]

Well, see, I feel like my definition of a fuckboy is not just that you like. I think there's, like, an attitude and Persona that comes with it. We were, like, douchey as well.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

I think you and he, obviously. He obviously folks like, that's without a doubt.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, what about, like, a charming. Okay, let's say Harry Styles.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Having a lot of sex.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. Like, is he a fuck boy?

[David Dobrik]

I consider him very charming.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I could. And I would assume that he hooks up with a lot of people.

[Jason Ash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Was that considered a fuckboy?

[Natalie]

I don't think so.

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Ash]

Okay, so if a guy is.

[David Dobrik]

I see that. I see that.

[Jason Ash]

Because if a guy is famous and really successful and then he can fuck as many people as he wants and not get the moniker of a fuckboy.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I think a fuckboy is, like, you're a fucking douche.

[Natalie]

No, I think when I think fuckboy, I think it's a boy that's, like, gonna fuck you over. Like, doesn't give a shit about you. It's like, you're. Like, you're rude, right?

[David Dobrik]

Oh. Oh.

[Natalie]

I don't consider it as somebody that, like, a fuckboy is not just somebody that has a lot of sex. Like, I think that a fuckboy is somebody that's.

[Jason Ash]

So.

[David Dobrik]

That sex also doesn't necessarily mean that you're like. So scotch. Is it Scott or. Scotch? Scotch.

[Natalie]

Scotch free. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So is it. So you're so scotch free of, like, not hurting girls by doing that.

[Natalie]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you could still be like, a gentle love bombing fuck boy that, like, still, like, leads maybe girls on.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, there's still, like, versions of that. That. That kind of fuckery to be going on with. So that's what you found out? That that's what your boy's like? Because he is sweet, but I also.

[Natalie]

Don'T know if that's what he's like. This person doesn't know either, but there is a. This friend of mine is so funny. It was like, midnight here, so it's like 3am in Miami. And I think they were staying at the same hotel. And he sent me a video of the guy that I have a crush on. Like, he just coincidentally happened to be in, like, the hotel valet Somewhere at the same time as him.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

And sent me, like, like, sniped a video of him walking. He was with, like, two of my friends, and then, like, some other girls.

[David Dobrik]

Girls?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

All girls. All girls?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. The guy I know.

[David Dobrik]

Did that hurt your heart?

[Natalie]

No. No, not at all.

[Jason Ash]

I mean, he's walking with a bunch of girls in Miami.

[Natalie]

Yeah, he was walking, like, through the hotel. They're probably going back to, like, foursome. Yeah. No, no.

[Jason Ash]

You guys live in such a strange time.

[Natalie]

No.

[Jason Ash]

You know, that's where you can, like, you know, film somebody and send it to your friend and, like, like, used to be fucking you do whatever the fuck you want. No one knew.

[David Dobrik]

You made that sound. Like, it's, like, so common. Film someone and send it to your friend.

[Jason Ash]

It is pretty common, Dave, but what.

[David Dobrik]

Do you mean, film someone and send to your friend?

[Jason Ash]

What are you talking about?

[David Dobrik]

I think. What's crazy about.

[Jason Ash]

What do you think I'm saying?

[David Dobrik]

It's just like. It's like, a very specific thing.

[Jason Ash]

No wonder you didn't like my pilot. You're dumb.

What are you talking about? I'm just saying. You know exactly what I'm saying.

[David Dobrik]

After watching the pilot, I can't really.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, another comment came in. Jason, you were born to do this. Fuck. David and Natalie.

[David Dobrik]

People are listening to this live.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I'm live streaming this podcast, actually.

[David Dobrik]

How are they leaving those comments early?

[Jason Ash]

We're at 23,000 views. There we go.

[David Dobrik]

Can I read some of the comments? Sure. This was really good, Jason. Congrats. The lighting's really nice. No way.

Wait. That's really funny.

[Jason Ash]

That's like. That's the first one you read that's really funny.

[David Dobrik]

Two days ago. Six likes. Six likes. The lighting's really nice, period. Well, for me, it's like someone was actually trying to be. It's like. That's literally a comment that you would hear after the pod. That's really funny.

[Jason Ash]

No, because they're reacting to, like, the quality of it on the channel is way higher quality than the vlogs or whatever I post.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Naveen stole the show. She killed it. Good stuff, G. This filming reminds me of the early HBO days, like entourage. I'm only 45 seconds in. I'm killing myself. No, I'm kidding.

They said, love it already. Yeah, these are great. Someone said, incredible. Wow, this is really cool. Someone said, I need 200 episodes of this. Is Naveen buying these comments?

[Jason Ash]

They're all there.

[Natalie]

She had that, like, good scene, the wind blowing in her hair.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, she had that good scene. And I know, too. Like, a YouTube channel is like, you know, those people want me to win.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

So what you have to do is, you know, make the next one better so you just get new people watching.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, no, I mean, I will say the fact that you have so many comments is like. That means people are really engaged with that. 22,000 views and 460 comments is fucking crazy.

[Jason Ash]

That's good.

[David Dobrik]

So it's good. It's doing really well.

[Jason Ash]

So we'll keep.

Yeah, Maybe. Maybe you were right.

Okay. I've thought maybe he would. He seems like a guy that would.

[Jason Ash]

We're talking to the wrong person about podcast.

[Natalie]

Yes, Natalie. Nailing Smartless.

[David Dobrik]

They.

[Jason Ash]

They're not doing right wing pod. So that's.

[David Dobrik]

And we're right wing. No.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, brother. That must be it.

Okay, okay, we can move on to Alex now.

[David Dobrik]

All right, Al, Alex is here now. Thank you for joining us. Do you want to ask or should I ask?

[Jason Ash]

Go ahead now.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. Jason should ask.

[Jason Ash]

Okay. You didn't like my pilot?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, no.

[Jason Ash]

Well, motherfucker. 467 people like it on my channel. 22, 000 views.

[Natalie]

Good.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, I think we're a top audience.

[Jason Ash]

Why didn't you like it?

[David Dobrik]

Well, I mean, first of all, yeah, we're a tough audience because it's hard to take who I know out of it, Right? I don't remember. That was a while ago.

[Jason Ash]

But do you think it's because you're stupid?

I have no sense of humor. You looked at taste, cuz. That's what I think it is with Dave.

[David Dobrik]

Cuz we loved it. Me and Natalie loved it.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, you were pranking. You were pranking me a month ago.

[David Dobrik]

To set up for this. Was looking at me like, what?

[Jason Ash]

How many texts behind my back did you send? Boy, that was awful.

[David Dobrik]

No, not, not. Not.

[Jason Ash]

Okay, We. We said it out loud.

[David Dobrik]

It was just one of those things where, like, it's already done, set in stone.

[Jason Ash]

Like, no, I could.

[David Dobrik]

This is what we said.

[Jason Ash]

I could have fixed it. I could have gone back.

[David Dobrik]

I think there's a lot to fix.

[Jason Ash]

He didn't like it. What didn't you like about it? No, this. This will help me because I'm. I'm not gonna stop. I'm gonna make another one. Okay, so. And also, I have another concept I'm working on, so let. Let me see if I can make it better.

[David Dobrik]

All right. What didn't you like?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, what didn't you like?

[David Dobrik]

Dude, that was so long ago, I don't remember. That's a good excuse. I should have used that one.

[Jason Ash]

And even Taylor didn't like it. That one hurt the most.

[David Dobrik]

I don't think that's Tay's humor.

[Jason Ash]

She gave it 2 out of 10 meows.

On the meow, Right? The meow scale.

[David Dobrik]

I Give it 2 out of 10.

[Jason Ash]

Give it 2 out of 10. DJ scratches. If you were.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

What? You don't remember?

[David Dobrik]

Just.

[Jason Ash]

You just didn't like it.

[David Dobrik]

What did you like, Al?

[Natalie]

I felt like the humor was.

[David Dobrik]

I liked Gary.

[Jason Ash]

Was that his name?

[David Dobrik]

The neighbor?

[Jason Ash]

You liked the neighbor?

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay, that stuck with me for a month. So he must have been really damn good. No, if you remember Gary, you fucking remember the whole fucking thing.

[Jason Ash]

Gary is a groundling. He's great. Elliot Schwartz.

[Natalie]

Incredible.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Good job, Elliot.

[Jason Ash]

Good job. Good job, Elliot. What else?

[David Dobrik]

I also think it's like, I just know you so well. I feel like this is like, almost like a cop out answer, though. But like, it does feel like I just know you so much so well that I can't, like, take you out. I wonder how that is for, like, people that, like, date.

[Jason Ash]

Well, you went to Noah Beck's movie and loved it.

[David Dobrik]

I was blown away by his character. I was like, I don't know who this guy is. I was like, I don't know this. No, no, no, no, no, no. What? Well, yeah, it's also. It's not just that knee deep in Jay, but like, it's in your house. Like, it's just so many familiar things to us.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, that.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I think it's like, that's your one thing. It should have been. Oh, somewhere. That is it too.

[Jason Ash]

It's in the house.

[David Dobrik]

It's in the house. That's a good note. Good note, Al.

[Natalie]

To piggyback what Alex said off of what Alex said, I. I do feel like when I think of your house and I see like some. A video in your house.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

I do think of like, your vlogs or like the old vlogs.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, okay.

[David Dobrik]

All right.

[Jason Ash]

Well then maybe that was a mistake to film there. But I didn't have any money. Taylor.

[David Dobrik]

Huh?

[Jason Ash]

I was just kidding.

[Natalie]

I thought David gave you some.

[David Dobrik]

Not enough. Apparently not enough to make a good pilot.

[Natalie]

Not enough.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, I'm kidding. All right, how about this? Everyone go and check out the pilot. Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear honest feedback. And we're going to rate some of your reviews.

[Jason Ash]

Yes, we'll read some of your reviews.

[David Dobrik]

We'll read some of your reviews. Go check it out on Jason Ash's channel. But J, we're really proud of you. I'm glad you.

[Natalie]

I mean, I'm glad we squashed the beef, you know, I'm glad it's all out there. It was. It was a little bit of, like.

[David Dobrik]

An elephant in the room. How did this get brought up? Well, Jason literally just said that there was an elephant in the room, and he was like, you think My. My pilot sucked? And I literally went, whoa.

How did you not read that before? No, he did. He just.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, I read it. I got it loud and clear when I went home and cried for two weeks.

[David Dobrik]

Make it obvious enough.

What took you a month. I'm. Fuck. I feel like an asshole, dude.

[Jason Ash]

You all should really. Yeah, you all should feel like assholes because the pilot's good.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, good. I like this energy. Good for you. It is good. I'm proud of you.

[Jason Ash]

Thank you.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I just.

[Natalie]

I feel bad now, Jay.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, Tae Tay. Don't feel bad.

[Natalie]

I hope it does really well, and I support you.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, Tay, don't feel bad. I was. I'm literally.

[Natalie]

If I did something and you guys didn't like it, I would like to know before I put it out there.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, believe me, we tell you every day.

[David Dobrik]

That's actually interesting. You bring that up. That up.

[Natalie]

Oh, God.

[David Dobrik]

We've had this argument before. No, no, I don't have a thing.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

But what Jason is creating is very, like, personal or. It's very hard to do that. Like, if you dress up and you're wearing something. I don't like your outfit. That's easy as. But Jason talked about this pilot, and it was, like, a very important thing to him. It's very, like. It's not. But even TikTok, he showed me. No, he was so proud.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, this isn't.

[David Dobrik]

I think he was so proud of something. I can give you, like, X, Y, and Z feedback, and then you can fix it. It's like. And it was like an. It was like an art. Like, I don't think you a thing that you like. Like, you don't have, like, a creative job like that that, like, we would be able to critique you on.

[Jason Ash]

I know.

[Natalie]

I love when you say this. I have no passion in life, and I don't actually care about anything. It's very strange.

[David Dobrik]

That's all I'm saying.

[Jason Ash]

She makes your tiktoks.

[Natalie]

Yeah. I love my tiktoks. No, but I'm saying, like, even, like. Like, if. If waivers sucked, I would want you guys to tell me, right? So that I could change the rest.

[Jason Ash]

That's fair.

[Natalie]

Like, that is. That's my passion, is our fucking whatever.

[Jason Ash]

No, I. You, David, it's. It's good. It's good for me to. To have this, you know? It's good to Have a bunch of people tell me no, because when I go again, like, I actually heard, like, your notes and I was like, oh, Natalie's right. Like, it shouldn't be so safe. Like, let me try to make it, like, a little better in that regard.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, next.

[Jason Ash]

Take it out of the house is a good note.

[David Dobrik]

Next time you show me a pilot.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, just.

[David Dobrik]

It's easy. It's so easy. Yeah, just say dead ass. What do you think?

[Jason Ash]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

Just say deadass. Don't say this one. Don't say this one because I just gave you the idea.

[Jason Ash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

But for the next one, I already.

[Jason Ash]

Know what you think.

[David Dobrik]

Just deadass me.

[Jason Ash]

I'm deadass you.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. And then you'll be good if that's really, truly what you want to hear.

[Jason Ash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. And don't take my opinion or any of our opinion as gospel. We're just really close to you. And honestly, if anything, if anything, if this has proven anything, it's. You should listen to us less if the comments are so positive.
