Episode Overview

This episode of VIEWS dives into the chaotic aftermath of the New York Knicks’ historic championship win—an event David Dobrik missed and seriously regretted, much to the amusement and teasing of co-host Jason Nash and regular guest Natalie. It’s full of hilarious self-reflection on FOMO, the bandwagon fan experience, wild hypotheticals (including saving 9/11 with time travel!), social commentary on LA life, and a little bit of existential musing about aliens and friendship as you age. All delivered in the classic, banter-rich VIEWS style.

[David]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. We are back with another pod. There is a new vlog out. You know what? Can I ask a question before we even start? If you're a POD listener, comment something on the new video. I want to see. Yes, the pod Army. I want to see the pod Army. But comment something about the video so it's not just spam. Just comment something and then. And then at the end, somehow magically work in Views podcast so it doesn't look like I'm telling you to comment. So you're just adding comments, but it doesn't look like I directed you to do it.

[Jason]

Well, how would they. How would you know they came from the podcast?

[David]

Well, that's. I'm saying they're going to have to create like.

[Natalie]

I like the View.

[David]

Yeah. Creatively work in the name of our pod. In it. In my. In my comment section on the new YouTube video.

[Jason]

I like the View is good.

[David]

Yeah, but can't all be like a thousand comments. I like the View. I like the View.

[Jason]

My sitcom is all these podcasts commenting.

[David]

Your sitcom. You have a sitcom.

[Jason]

I'm gonna reach across this podcast recording device. I'm gonna strangle you.

[David]

Hey, have I made my money back on that yet?

[Jason]

Not yet, pal.

[David]

Guys, big news. If you haven't heard, the Knicks won the championship in New York City. I was bummed I wasn't there.

[Natalie]

David is the biggest bandwagon Knicks fan I've ever seen.

[David]

Yeah, I'm the biggest.

[Jason]

Yeah. It was disgusting, bro.

[David]

First of all, I don't.

[Jason]

It was disgusting. I'd never seen somebody bandwagon that hard bandwagon like that. I meant.

[David]

Okay, can I just say something?

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

I don't see anything wrong with bandwagoning at all.

[Natalie]

No, I agree.

[David]

I think it's got such a negative rep and 1000% I was bandwagon. I've never seen. I don't think I've ever seen the Knicks play in my entire life. Like on tv, on. On Anything. Like, I don't think I've seen it anywhere.

[Jason]

That's a true bandwagon, then.

[David]

But I was like, yeah, I. Well, I became a fan of the Knicks through the. Through the fans of the Knicks.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, just, like, seeing all the TikTok videos and stuff like that. And then when the game came around, I was kind of like, fuck, should I be in New York? And I was kind of, like, tossing it back and forth. And then when the game ended, I had, like, a generational crash out.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, ruined dinner. We were at a dinner. Ruined dinner.

[Natalie]

All I was ruined the night.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

I was in my phone. All I was doing was texting my New York friends. I was sexing Georgia. Sexy Olivia. Tanya was there. I was like, it's not that fun, is it? They're like, no, it's actually that fun. They're like, they. They couldn't even. Like, they're like, you aren't. Georgia told me to come earlier. She's like, you're a complete fucking idiot for missing this. This is Once. They haven't won in over 50 years. And it's. It why I'm such a big bandwagon fan. It's because I love when, like, I just, like, when people are really excited about things and, like, the entire city of New York has come together. Like, there's a funny TikTok I saw that was like, Nixon 5 is cool, but, like, can we do Nixon 7? Because I kind of, like hanging out with my friends every day and getting together and having, like, a common interest. And, like, that's kind of what the wave New York City was on. And I think it still will continue to be on. Like, I think the rest of the summer is set to be. New York City will have its best summer of all time.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Everyone's on a high.

[David]

Everyone's on a high. And I was just, like, kind of bummed I was missing the energy there, which is now making me think, like, should I buy into a sports team? Or, like, should I start supporting the Chicago Bulls early?

[Natalie]

Yes. I'm telling you, we need.

[David]

So when we have our Nixon 5, like, I'm there. I'm warranted to be there.

[Jason]

Yeah. You're gonna buy into the Bulls.

[David]

Yeah. Like, start posting about them and, like, wearing Bulls hats.

[Natalie]

Sure.

[Jason]

Yeah. So you got to do it for years and years and years.

[David]

Yeah. Because, like, I'll be honest, I'm jealous of Timothee Chalamet. He's got an Internet footprint of being a Knicks fan for a really long. Have you Seen how long he's been a Knicks fan for? Yeah, no, like one of the kn. Something at like Grand Central Station that he was giving away like merch. The first person that showed up and like 14 year old Timothy Chalamet was the first to show up. So like this guy has a proper blueprint of being a Knicks fan.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

So like fuck yeah. Kudos to him. But what I was most bummed about, it's like I wanted to go and vlog. Like the. The chaos of New York City. Like I wanted to put on an orange ski mask and just be in the middle of all the chaos.

[Jason]

I got here Saturday night, got the invite over here. I was so happy. I really wanted to watch the game. Nat said you guys were gonna go out for Ferris birthday. So I was so stoked I walked in here. I was so happy. And then I go, I was like man, this. This is fun.

[David]

No, this is like that.

[Jason]

And immediately I say it once. I go man, this is fun. Like that. I got Alex sitting next to me. I got Naveen on my left. Nats here. It was fun. I was excited, but it was. Shut the fuck up, Jake. Shut the fuck.

[David]

Stop saying this is fun.

[Jason]

Nothing's fucking happening. We're sitting on the couch.

[David]

I was like what the.

[Jason]

What am I doing?

[David]

First of all, first of all, it is fun.

[Jason]

Okay, thank you.

[David]

But you just got there.

[Natalie]

Yeah, you emote, you get a money.

[Jason]

Like what's wrong with emoting and being in a good mood? What are we supposed to do around here?

[David]

Cuz you're like convincing yourself that it's fun.

[Jason]

I'm not convincing. Shit. I'm in a good mood.

[David]

I mean Alex even backed me up. Alex was like, okay, so now that you said that, Jay, you can't like immediately leave at a random part of the night.

[Jason]

I.

[David]

And guess what? We got to dinner and after I

[Jason]

stayed for you guys for six hours. What are you talking about?

[David]

Okay, first of all, don't even try

[Jason]

to say me leaving the club.

[David]

Jay. This isn't a punch card type thing.

[Jason]

I'm not supposed to be at the club.

[David]

No, it's. You know that this wasn't a club. This isn't a club.

[Natalie]

It's a lounge.

[David]

It's a lounge. It's like you could definitely be there.

[Jason]

It's actually there to hook up basically. What? Yeah.

[David]

What are you talking about? It's like the most hanging out spot.

[Jason]

Okay. I love the spot. I was so grateful. It was 12 o'. Clock.

[David]

I'll let you talk anyway, after dinner yeah. Because we went to this place. It's like a dinner. And then you go downstairs and it's like a lounge area. You could smoke there. There's like three sections. There's a smoking section and they're all equally the same size. Smoking section, hangout, beer section. And then like indoor, like, where they listen to, like, vinyl record section. Kind of like they have, like a DJ vibe, whatever. And there's bars in each of the sections. And that's you. You go down to it. It's the best club. It's the best place in la, I think, to go.

[Natalie]

It's like the new hotspot.

[David]

It's called Living Room. Anyway, so we went downstairs and then Jason comes up to me the second we, like, look around downstairs, see the vibe, see where we're going to sit.

[Jason]

We had the most awkward exchange, you and I. Yeah.

[David]

Jason comes up to me and goes. And goes, okay, I think I'm going to go. And I go, okay, I'll see you. Because I thought he was kidding. I thought. I thought him and Naveen came up to me because they were like. Because this is a very. Naveen thing to do, to be like, let's see if David even wants us here. So I was. I was told. Totally that's what I thought was happening. So I was like. Right away, I was like, see you later. And then Jay goes, all right, bye. And then he's walking away. I'm like, are you fucking serious? I'm like, you're being serious right now? We just. We just got to the downstairs portion. You're actually fucking leaving?

[Jason]

Yeah, it was. It was after 12. Yeah, but it's like 1208.

[David]

Yes, but it was like. It was just like 12 and the Knicks just won. The vibes were. I know we were.

[Jason]

You know you're not a Knicks fan. Yes, I lived in New York and

[David]

I could give a claim.

[Jason]

The Knicks. I live. What?

[David]

I'm a fan of fun and my fun radar.

[Jason]

You're a fan of fun? You fucking ruined dinner. You said he sat at dinner. I wish people. I wish we had a vlog camera on you. He sat at dinner the whole time.

[David]

I really do wish I vlogged it.

[Jason]

He sat at dinner. No, you couldn't have vlogged it because, I don't know, people wouldn't believe it. You sat there and you were like, God damn it. And even when Ferris. Even when we won, you go, ferris. I can't go tonight. I can't. I can't go out to dinner because I'm not in New York. And then you just kept checking your phone the entire time.

[David]

100%. I turned my phone off for a little. Yeah, I turn my. Should I turn my phone off? And then I couldn't do. I turned it back on. Yeah. I was like, I'm gonna turn my phone off. I gotta disconnect.

[Jason]

I mean, didn't he. Didn't he. He did ruin dinner in a little bit.

[Natalie]

Completely ruined.

[Jason]

He stopped about halfway through. He even caught himself. And he was like, no, no, no,

[David]

no, I was ruining dinner.

[Natalie]

No, he knew exactly what he was doing.

[David]

And I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm ruining dinner.

[Natalie]

And I said, no, you're not.

[David]

But, like, I can't help it right now. I have to.

[Natalie]

And that's the thing. And all he kept saying, he's like, how do we get to New York? Do you think there's a flight to New York? I'm like, even if you got on a flight right now, it would be 8am tomorrow. Everyone's done.

[David]

It was really scary. FOMO. I was having.

[Jason]

Yeah. When you say stuff like that, the inside of my brain, like, sizzles. Like, my. My whole inside sizzles. I'm like, there's not gonna get on a fucking plane and get into New York.

[David]

You understand 9am that, like, if anybody was. You won't do that. If anybody was close in the, like. If anybody has ever been close to, like, really having the urge to invent a time machine, I may have been the closest there.

[Jason]

Well, you said that, didn't you? You said you.

[Natalie]

Yeah, he said that. And we're like, for this moment, there's so many other moments in history.

[David]

You could go back to. No, I was like. I was like, no. Because we were talking about things that like. Like, would I let LeBron James fuck me?

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

For me to go back in time three hours.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

And be in New York. And I said, yes. I said, let. Usually the thing we do is. Usually what we say is, would you let the Lakers run a train on you? That's kind of like. That's kind of the basis in our friend group for how bad you want to do something. What?

[Natalie]

I'm just like, I think this one. That one should stay inside the friend group. Maybe.

[David]

No. No.

[Natalie]

I don't know if people need to know the weird.

[Jason]

Imagining a Laker listening, like, you guys. Disgusting.

[David]

People have to know how bad, like, we want certain things. And I didn't go as far as having the Lakers run a train on.

[Natalie]

That's our unit. Of measure.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Will you or will you not?

[David]

But I went. I went. The top player. I went.

[Jason]

LeBron.

[David]

I wouldn't. I would let LeBron fuck me because I. I wouldn't want to sit through the whole hour of the Lakers running the train or however long it takes. I wanted to get to New York right away. And I was like, lebron can have his way with me. Just put me in a time machine, send me back. Now, would I. Would I help the Lakers run a train on me? Go back to 911 and stop the attacks. Yes, for sure. That all the Lakers weren't trained on me.

[Jason]

How would you stop the attack?

[David]

And what would you do?

[Jason]

So we get the time machine, right? LeBron runs the train. Great. It hurts a little bit, but now you got the time machine. You set it for September 10th, and then what do you do when you get to get there?

[David]

That's really good question.

[Jason]

Go.

[David]

Because, you know, why wait? How many tries do I get, bro?

[Jason]

You know, I don't know. It's. It's.

[David]

Do I get infinite? Can I keep going back to September 10th?

[Natalie]

I think the more that you go back, the more other things get fucked up. So you don't want to keep going back. That like crazy.

[David]

Okay. And this is in a situation where, like, there's actually no way of. Of of preventing the attacks. There is, like, there has to be a way, right? This isn't like a movie, like, where I realize at the end, no matter what I do, they always happen. I don't know what I'm talking about.

[Natalie]

No, no, there's definitely.

[David]

There's definitely a way. Well, here my brain immediately would go into, like, calling it a bomb threat, like the 11th.

[Natalie]

Oh, interesting.

[David]

And being like, I have explosives in this building. Everyone's going to die. I'm going to kill everybody. I'm shoot up.

[Jason]

It's a good start of a movie,

[David]

like, being very dramatic about what's about to happen. But I have heard before that there, that there were things called in that people did call in suspicious. But I feel like that happens a lot in New York.

[Jason]

You mean that it actually happened on September 10th or 11th?

[David]

And that feels like a thing that's like that prank call happens a lot, right? And instead of going to the towers, they'd go to the caller and be like, yo, you're under arrest for. With New York City. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. How do you do that? How do you. How do you go back in time?

[Natalie]

Well, the thing is, you got to get the specific guys.

[David]

Oh, and you can't, like, show people. You can't tell people you're from the future. You can't be like, I have proof. Right. Because yeah, you probably have to go to the flights, I guess you have to go to the.

[Natalie]

Make a scene.

[Jason]

You have to go to the flights. Came from different places.

[Natalie]

Oh, that's the tricky part.

[David]

Or you call in the. You call in the bomb threats on. On the. On the airlines, I think. I don't know. It's really tricky. I'd have to go back multiple times, I think. I don't think there is this. And then. And then, like, let's say I stop all the flights.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

I'm not a big 9 11, because I am a big 911 conspiracy. But, like, were there explosives in the building? Although, are those buildings coming down no matter what? So then I have to. Now I have to worry about that. So now I have to. Yeah, so there's a lot. Anyway. Nixon 5.

[Natalie]

The craziest part about the Knicks thing is, which I think is even crazier than your bandwagoning, is that Jalen Brunson is from our. Like, our suburb. Like, we know people.

[David]

I went to, like, go, look, Jalen Brunson's the mvp.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[David]

First of all, this is another thing that was, like, for some reason, hurting my brain.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

I was like, this Jalen Brunson guy is the MVP of the Knicks. Like, the guy. The God. And. And what got me into. What got me into the Knicks in the first place was everyone. All the edits on TikTok of people going, jalen Brunson, you can fuck my wife. Like, it's like everybody just like. Like, giving him the keys to the city.

[Natalie]

Deeming him the King of New York now.

[David]

Like, deeming him. Yeah, the King of New York. And that's what I was, like, having a hard time wrapping my head around. I was like, I need to. I emailed my friend or I texted my friend that works at Meta at Instagram, and I was like. I was like, hire Jalen Brunson. Give him $15 million, put meta glasses on him and have him walk down the streets of New York. I just want to see his point of view of what it feels like to be the king of the biggest city in all of the world.

[Jason]

And where'd your friend from? Metase?

[David]

He said it was genius. But, like, I think that would be so fun to, like, watch this man walk because. Because all the comments are like, he's never paying for a meal in New York City again.

[Natalie]

I mean, it'd be a sick ad for sure.

[David]

He's never paying for a meal in New York City again. But what else is he getting in New York? What is happening to this man in New York City?

[Jason]

I just want to know what was driving you crazy that night. You're like, where's he going? What's he doing? And we were like, well, he's probably just getting on the plane, San Antonio and going. Right. I think Nat said that. She's like, yeah, they're just going to get on the plane. They're not going to party in San Antonio. David's like, but no, what's going to happen in New York when he gets there? What kind of club access will he have? How many girls is he going to have sex with? I need to know.

[David]

He's like, he's happily married. I'm like, okay, I get that. I get that. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But, like, it's, it's. I just got so much of the Nick. Like, it's like. It's like Ben Stiller was being interviewed. Spike. Spike Jones. Lee. Spike Lee. Sorry. Spike Lee was being interviewed and he was like. And the interviewer was like, would you never win an Oscar again? Or the Knicks win or would you, like, give up? Blah, blah. And every time he was like, knicks winning. Knicks winning. Like, it's like, it's. These people have such a passion about the Knicks that it just. It was. It's infatuating. Inspiring. No, what's it when it's like, kind of when it's like a.

[Jason]

And now David will try to find the word in.

[David]

Welcome back. Influential. Infiltrating in.

[Jason]

There is steam coming out of his head.

[David]

Oh, what's like when, like a virus gets you Infectious? Infectious. It's infectious. Yeah. So, like, shout out to the Knicks. Shout out to the fan base. But yes. Okay. So I went to go look up the MVP Jalen Brunson on Instagram, and I was like, I wonder, like, which one of our friends from LA follows him? And like, whatever, three LA friends, but like 15 friends he follows from our hometown.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And it's because he lived and not you. Five minutes away.

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah. The next story.

[David]

Yeah, you got to get that follow.

[Jason]

You got to say, hey, dog, I'm from two towns over.

[David]

No, like, I can't actually. I can't interact with him.

[Jason]

Why not?

[David]

Because I'm. I am such a true. Like, a bandwagoner's got to know his place. Right? Like, I Can't.

[Jason]

I can't.

[David]

I can't infiltrate the team right now. I'm very happy to be like this. Fake, not fake. I'm really actually a big fan now, but, like, from. I've ordered Knicks merch, by the way.

[Jason]

It's like, no, you haven't.

[Natalie]

No, you haven't.

[Jason]

No, you haven't.

[David]

Yes, I've got a hat.

[Natalie]

No, you fucking did.

[Jason]

Oh, my God. I'm gonna show you this podcast next season when the Knicks are like, they make the playoffs and they get eliminated in the second round. And see what you say. I'm gonna, I'm gonna come in one day and I'm gonna go, man, did you see what happened last night? And you're gonna go, what? And I'll go, the Knicks got eliminated. You're gonna go.

[David]

Okay, no, but yeah, I'm not a fan for that. I'm a fan cultural moment. I'm a fan of what just happened.

[Jason]

Okay, that's fair.

[David]

I am Genu for the concept of being a bandwagon fan. Like, I'm fully aware of my privilege as a bandwagon fanner.

[Jason]

You said the funniest thing in the car. We were driving down to the place, the restaurant, and you go, you were saying that you were like gonna DM Jalen Brunson and be like, hey, where are you going? What did you say?

[David]

Yeah, I was just like, like, I'm

[Jason]

getting on the plane. Let me know, Let me know where the party is.

[David]

I wanted to DM him as like a delusional influencer.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

Hey, I'm leaving from LA and I think, I think by the time you get out of the locker room and shower and everything, we'll land at the same time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

I don't know.

[David]

[Jason]

oh, I owe. I owe John some money.

[David]

What happened? Because last podcast, I was like, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

I was like, there won't be rioting.

[David]

And it wasn't as bad as I thought.

[Jason]

I did see a bus on fire.

[Natalie]

Yeah, but just one now.

[David]

It was like four of them. But can I. But those school buses in the middle of Times Square, maybe they park there, like, normally.

[Jason]

I don't know.

[David]

Maybe that's like a thing to put. But it almost seemed like they were put there for a reason.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah.

[David]

Like, it almost felt like they were like magnets. Yeah. For the chaos, maybe. And it was just to, like, like, hey, guys, destroy this bus. Don't touch the buildings.

[Natalie]

I wonder if they put the bus there just to block. You know, sometimes when you have like a street fair or something, you put the big truck there to block so nobody goes and runs their car through it and kills people.

[David]

And so, yeah, could be it. I don't. Maybe I genuinely. It looked like they were just scattered around the city. Be like, hey, blow up these school buses.

[Jason]

Hey, you've heard that theory, too. Like when there's like, protests and stuff, the day before they put out bricks. Have you ever seen that?

[David]

So people can throw stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have seen that.

[Jason]

You've seen that, right?

[David]

But that's like the protesters just preemptive protesting, right? Like, just getting ready for the next day.

[Jason]

I don't think the protesters are putting out the brakes.

[Natalie]

Oh.

[David]

I'll tell you what I thought of this is. Sorry. Not to get into aliens.

[Natalie]

Oh, no.

[David]

What? What?

[Natalie]

Not again.

[David]

I mean. Well, I've just been giving it some more thought and I'm kind of also somebody. Somebody DM me this. I think it's really funny about John. They said was listening to your podcast. First time I'm sending a message like this. But seriously, I'm baffled. You're so into aliens, but can't seem to notice there is one right in front of you. Its name is John and has severe calibration issues. Seems like a friendly one though. It's really funny. No, but I was thinking about it and like. Okay, so the big conspiracy theory is that all this information. Oh, I watched the movie too. The Steven Spielberg movie.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

Disclosure Day. Should I talk about that? Yeah. Anyway, let me, let me say this. There's the big conspiracy theory about all this alien information coming out right now. Is that it's all a cover up to get you away from the Epstein files. Whatever. I don't like that kind of conspiracy talk because I like my aliens to be just like not related to Epstein. I'd like to separate those two.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

But think about it. It's like the one guy that would have any information on aliens and would actually be love to talk about them.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

And who's denied them the most in my opinion is Elon Musk.

[Jason]

Oh.

[David]

Like this guy is the close. He, he was, he was doing an interview like a couple months, like a month ago and he's like, we have like 9,900 satellites up whatever for SpaceX and there has never been a moment where we've had to pivot or picked up an alien signal or had an. Avoid an alien spacecraft.

[Jason]

That's really interesting.

[David]

Yeah. And it's like Elon Musk is saying that he. And then he. And then he doubles. Down he goes. I think, I think it's also fair for us to think, to have to try to accept the fact that we may be alone in this universe and we. And it's our job to expand.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Which is fucking kind of crazy.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Like that is like if he is so like, why would he, why would he be on the other side of it? I don't get it. I don't get. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. It's really. Wouldn't he be out of. Especially out of all the like eccentric characters and Elon Musk is like, the most, like, out there. Wacky guy. He would be like, I don't think that aliens are real.

[Jason]

I don't think this is it. But maybe, maybe there's like a bottom line there for him and SpaceX. And if there are aliens and that's going to stop his, his businesses and his expansion of the universe, do you think that he.

[David]

That was my other argument. That was before I saw his interviews. I was like, if, if there were aliens, wouldn't he, like, have adopted some of their technology or something? Wouldn't he be making a little bit,

[Jason]

like, making a little coin on it?

[David]

No. Wouldn't he be, like, moving a little bit faster through all this SpaceX shit? I don't know. Not that he's, like, doing a slow job. I'm just saying, like, wouldn't we be

[Jason]

like, would he have access to whatever technology aliens have?

[David]

I don't know. I'm a little suspicious. Anyway, I watched Disclosure Day.

[Jason]

Yeah,

[David]

I. I don't know. I don't know how to say it. I don't like knocking people's movies. I like. I don't. I never do it.

[Natalie]

It wasn't what you expected?

[David]

It wasn't what I expected.

[Jason]

Okay, well, let's. We can.

[Natalie]

You told us Spielberg was going to be revealing the existence of aliens, confirming it. There was. Without a doubt. He was confirming aliens.

[David]

Okay.

[Natalie]

He was the messenger.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Natalie]

That's a good alien.

[David]

Now that you bring that up, it's, it's giving me the need to defend myself and my thoughts.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And yes. I thought Spielberg was in his own trailer talking about how this is real. Okay. So I was like, what's going on? And I didn't have to connect too many dots. It was a very low IQ move to be like, oh, yeah, I think he's gonna confirm aliens. Like, that's where I thought he was going. Okay, first, let me give credit to all the filmmakers and everybody that worked on that movie. It's really hard. This. I'm doing the Supes approach. This is. It's really hard to make a movie. And congratulations. You want to hear congratulations to all those people that made the film?

[Jason]

I heard after Jason Nash is married.

[David]

Steven Spielberg. Yeah. Steven Spielberg is a legend. Made some of the greatest movies of all time that will never be taken away from him. This movie was impossible for me to watch. I. I couldn't. I couldn't believe in two sentences what

[Jason]

happens in the movie.

[David]

Yeah, it's exactly what you think.

[Jason]

Aliens come to the Earth.

[Natalie]

Sorry, is it is. It. It's all scripted, obviously. Right.

[David]

It's not like there's nothing like, there's nothing real. And like. And also it's like it's that Dave

[Jason]

thought there was gonna be real aliens.

[David]

Well, no, I thought. Cause I kept hearing that the third part of the movie, like the third. What is it called? Not trimester. Third tri. Yeah, the third act. Is it going to trimester the third act? I'm such an idiot. I'm talking about like this fucking dumb. I'm over here. Like, oh, yes, this wasn't Spielberg's best. I'm calling you a trimester. I was told that the third act wasn't any of the trailers.

[Jason]

Okay.

[David]

And stuff like that. And I was expecting like a fun, like little twist at the end or something like that. But it was exactly what you would expect the movie to be if you didn't put any thought into it. It almost. What it made me think is I don't think Steven Spielberg has tick tock or any form of social media.

[Jason]

Right.

[David]

Because what the movie is would have. This movie would have been oh good 25 years ago. But what's happening in the movie, it's like, yeah, dude, have you been seeing TikTok? It's like, it's like, it's behind.

[Jason]

It's like when Clint Eastwood makes a

[David]

movie, it's so behind. I'm like, yeah, duh.

[Jason]

Yeah. I find that.

[David]

And there's like try to do stuff and there's like a message in it that's like about empathy, but it's so not hidden. It's like spoon fed to you. You got to watch it. It's very interesting. I will also go as far. And this why this has had. Has me come now. I'm a conspiracy theorist for all this alien shit being a cover up for the Epstein files.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

Because I'm going as far as Steven Spielberg got the fattest bag of his life to make this movie. Something happened.

[Jason]

He gets a fat bag every time.

[David]

Yeah, I know, but something no, like he got like paid from the government. I'm talking $1 billion cash into his account for this film. Something. Because it's not adding up. It's not. Spielberg. Spielberg. I'm very confused.

[Jason]

I see.

[David]

I was very confused. Walking out.

[Jason]

Like the government wanted to send a certain message, so they hired.

[David]

No, not even a certain message. It's like they wanted to like add words into the stratosphere into. Into Google and they wanted to put disclosure. They just want to like amp up the whole alien talk. I Have no idea. I'm really, really confused. I would love to hear our views podcast listeners opinion on this movie. Yeah, I was shocked.

[Jason]

I heard their opinion on an episode last week that some funny comments that I read.

[David]

Oh yeah, when you said about Toy

[Jason]

Story, people were mad that I was bagging on Toy Story and someone left the funniest comment. I can't believe the guy I made, Jason Nash, is married, is shitting on Toy Story. Which is. I was like, that's good. But I, I don't care. I was, I was only mad about Toy Story because like it's not. I wanted. I would look because David didn't invite me to go see it and it's not something.

[David]

So you took it out on Toy Story. Yeah, it's one of the best franchises of all time.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

So that's really.

[Jason]

I really. I really searched myself and I thought I talked, I was talking to Naveen about it. I was like, oh, that's why I was mad. So.

[Natalie]

Because of David.

[Jason]

Oh. And then also the comments on the Monaco episode were funny. Like the, they were saying like, these guys, you guys are so out of touch. You know, whatever.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason]

And then.

[David]

Oh, people said that. Yeah.

[Jason]

Somebody that was like, top comment. But, but you had, you had a lot of people defending you, which was even funnier because someone wrote like, someone wrote like, they were like, they're like, yo, dude, I go to a 9 to 5 job. Like, I don't want to fucking sit here and have you talk about being in Monaco. You know. But then someone else goes like, what the fuck do you want him to do?

[David]

Talk about the 9 to 5 job. Yeah.

[Jason]

Yeah. Like, with all due respect, I would not want to hear about your fucking boring 9 to 5 job, which I thought was really funny. Yeah. People are amped up in the comments, which is good.

[Jason]

Did you guys hear about the onlyfans house in Encino that is causing trouble?

[David]

Wait, wait, wait. There's a house in Encino that's causing trouble?

[Jason]

Yes.

[David]

Why?

[Jason]

Naveen came to me yesterday. She goes, it's on the news. It's basically all these people who own like nice houses in Encino are like, what's this OnlyFans house doing here? They're shooting content. And David, I say that you and I need to go over there and see what's going on.

[David]

You think your wife would be okay with this?

[Jason]

I think we'll. No, yeah, well, we'll bring her. We'll bring her.

[David]

Okay. You mean this?

[Jason]

David, this is about. This is about helping the people. I'm on the OnlyFans side, you know. What do you think? What are they doing?

[David]

Are they fucking fingering each other?

[Jason]

I mean they're saying that they found condoms on the street and stuff like that. But you find condoms outside my house too. And you know what I mean, on

[Natalie]

the street in Encino.

[Jason]

They're shooting content making people uncomfortable in the street or whatever. I think it's bullshit.

[David]

I don't know. I'm like, I'm trying to put myself in the perspective of like when I become that kind of a neighbor.

[Jason]

When you cross the threshold of yeah, Karen.

[David]

Yeah, you'll be the.

[Jason]

You'll be a crazy Karen.

[David]

I think so too. So I have to see it.

[Natalie]

You'll be the craziest Karen.

[Jason]

Actually, I don't know if you will. You'd probably be like if there was a bunch of kids and you were like 60 years old, they were causing trouble. You going to say something?

[Natalie]

It's really. But he would send somebody else to say something.

[David]

It's really tough. I don't know. I don't know. Because I could see myself. I could see myself having an ego about it and being like, I fucking. I did this shit 40 years ago. I tried moving away from this. You're not bringing this to my neighborhood. Yeah.

[Jason]

Do you know what I mean? I pay taxes here.

[David]

Like from. Yeah, Like, I could see that happening.

[Jason]

I could tell you as somebody who's gotten older, that Karen Ness creeps inside of you.

[David]

No.

[Jason]

You get pissed off at little things. Someone will like, someone parked their car in front of my house for like two weeks and I don't know who it is, and I'm just like, I'm basically calling it to get towed.

[David]

Somebody parked a car in front of our neighbor's house and he texted Taylor and he's like, whose ever car this is? The next time I see you, I'm gonna slash all four tires.

[Jason]

Wow.

[David]

And we're like, it's none of our cars. Thank God it wasn't our car. But like, our neighbors are really hot. Our neighbors actually really, really nice to us. Yeah, they fucking hate outsiders. But. But they're very, like, it's really. It's a very, like, interesting. Like, it's like we're in the community, but then when we have people over, it's like, well, it's a very. Not even mad at us. We like, get mad at the people. I'm like, you know, it is my fault. Like, I invited like all these people in my house. It's very strange how that. It's very.

[Jason]

They can't be mad at you because you're rich.

[David]

Because I'm there forever. Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess that too.

[Jason]

Just these people here, man. Not you.

[David]

You know? You know, my. My lack of going to fun things.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

Has really hit hard recently. The World Cup. I've like, it has not been on my radar at all. Yeah. I'm kind of surprised, which is really funny. Cuz, like, as much as I love being a bandwagon fan, people are like hitting me up about like, are you going to the World cup or going to World Cup? I'm like, no. Like, I. I don't know anything about soccer. And like, all our friends are at the World cup. And I. Every time I see someone at it, like, I get, if you're a soccer fan, 100% be there. But I'm like, I just can't. This is my Karen kicking in. I'm like, traffic scanning your ticket, finding your seats, going to pee. Like, it's just. Yes, that's Where I'm at.

[Jason]

Yes. I was out in some World cup traffic down at the pier the other night. It's brutal.

[David]

I don't know why I think like that now. I'm like, that is, like, so much work. And there's nothing better than watching the game at home on your tv, right?

[Jason]

No, no, no.

[Natalie]

I think depending on the match, like, if you care about the team playing or if it's your country, if, like,

[David]

Slovakia was on, like, some magical run or something, for sure.

[Jason]

Let me say, though, being there and now comes. Here comes my inner Karen.

[Natalie]

Yeah, go for it.

[Jason]

Being there, parking the car. Like, my friend Jeff, he wants to go take his. The Dodgers are playing.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[Jason]

Right. And then he was.

[David]

His daughters are playing in the World Cup.

[Jason]

The Dodgers are playing. He loves the Dodgers, so it's like. But it's gonna cost him, like, you know, 1200 bucks for nosebleed seats for people. It's like, no, no.

[Natalie]

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I. Natalie's.

[David]

I bring this up because Natalie's on the opposite side of it. Like, Natalie loves that shit.

[Natalie]

I love it. Like, I'm dying to go to a World cup game.

[David]

I just wish I had that energy. Like, to me, like, I just, like, feed off. I pay for it with health.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, that's how I do. Like, it's like, that is costing me health points. Like, my HP is going down when I go to this thing.

[Natalie]

But I've never experienced. I've never been to a World cup game. And it's in our city. Like, when are you going to have that opportunity?

[Jason]

We should be more like Natalie 100%. We really should. We should be, like, vibing like Natalie.

[David]

100%. We should.

[Jason]

You know, I saw Natalie in the wild the other day. Oh, my God.

[David]

Yeah. You ran into it.

[Jason]

It was like seeing a teacher out of school.

[David]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jason]

It was crazy, Dave.

[David]

It was. Wait, where was it?

[Jason]

I'm. I'm on. I'm in the heart of our town that we live in.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[Jason]

And I'm just sitting there, staring at the wall, waiting for a smoothie.

[Natalie]

He's sitting outside, like, on a sidewalk, like, patio table by himself.

[Jason]

No, no, no, no. Over by Giada.

[David]

Oh, okay.

[Jason]

So I'm over there and. And I'm in a conversation. I'm trying. I'm trying to close a restaurant because, you know, I try to get restaurants on this app, and so I finally been trying.

[David]

Do you have, like, a lot of side.

[Jason]

Like, I'm trying, man. I got. You're getting there's an app called in kind.

[David]

Yes, yes, I know. Okay.

[Jason]

And I work for them.

[David]

You love plugging it for.

[Jason]

And if you get a restaurant on the app.

[David]

Yeah, you get.

[Jason]

You get, like, a payday.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Have you gotten one?

[Jason]

No.

[Natalie]

But you got what you were doing. You were trying to get the.

[Jason]

No, no, no. Like, I'm always there. And I've been trying to talk to this woman for a couple times, but she's always on the phone. And so finally, she wasn't on the phone, and I was like, karen, blah, blah, blah. And so I was, like, pitching on in kind. Then all of a sudden, fucking Natalie and just a chick, I'm like, la,

[David]

la, la, la, la.

[Jason]

And Nat has this look on her face like she's been in prison for the last six years. It was such a weird look.

[Natalie]

She was like.

[Jason]

She's, like, looking around. She's. Wide eyes, but it's just the normal street. It's the street that you've been to a million times the street I've been to.

[David]

And she's like, she got to leave the house.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Cause I did.

[Jason]

Yeah. She's like, oh, what's this? And even gave me, like, a big. A big hello. Which doesn't usually happen around here. You know, she's like, jason, she whips out her Snapchat. She's like, look who we bumped into. And I'm in the middle of this, like, business, you know, I'm trying to close this deal. And then. And then it, you know, she went away. And then I was like, what's up, guys? But it was wild.

[David]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Sorry. Back to this deal thing. What's the percentage you make? Like, do you make money off every time someone goes to the restaurant?

[Jason]

No, you make money off of whatever. Whatever the company borrows, you get a percentage. Let's say Dobrik's borrows $100,000. Okay. Of capital.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Then I'd get $5,000.

[David]

Oh, nice. 5%?

[Jason]

Yeah. Wow.

[David]

Something like, how much are you trying to pitch her on? Like, how much are you trying to, like, get her to.

[Jason]

Oh, whatever. They would want to borrow. Like, I don't. I don't do that. Yeah. I don't go that. I don't go that into the.

[David]

But have you been going, like, restaurant to restaurant or is it just this one because you've, like, frequent it.

[Jason]

I tried going restaurant to restaurant. Got my ass handed to me really big time.

[David]

Wait, what happened?

[Jason]

Like, they printed me business cards. It was so embarrassing. Like, I realized I had No, I have no sales skills.

[Natalie]

None.

[Jason]

Like, none.

[Natalie]

None.

[Jason]

None.

[David]

None.

[Jason]

None at all. So I'd, like, walk into a restaurant and the guy's literally just like, get out. Like, I walked into an Indian restaurant and he was like, no, no, leave. Leave now. Leave. And I'd be like, oh, my God. And I walk back to the car and Naveen would be like, how'd it go? And I'd be like, no, it's just not my. It's not my thing. I have no sales skills. I have none. Like, you'd be better at it than me for sure.

[David]

I would hope.

[Jason]

Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't know. Let's see. Let's see you in action. Let's see. Let's see.

[David]

Yeah, you're, like, pretty panicky when I just don't like hyping things up that I'm selling, that's all.

[Jason]

It is tough.

[David]

I mean, it's my difficulty.

[Jason]

It's tough. I mean, how do you get. The one thing that I think is good is. Is trying.

[David]

I can't ever imagine you doing that.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's not my forte.

[David]

I feel like you're, like, a nervous talker.

[Jason]

I am.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

You're like a. You're a nervous conversationalist, but not a nervous performer.

[Jason]

Right, right, right.

[David]

It's very interesting.

[Natalie]

Oh, yeah. Because you will do just like. Like, I don't know if you saw Jason posted like a reel or Tick Tock or something, and you were at the pier and you got, like, a bunch of kids who I'm assuming you just asked in that moment.

[David]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Natalie]

People to be in the Tick Tock react or reacting to you.

[Jason]

The sea Geek ad.

[Natalie]

No, I think it was like the betting gambling thing that you were doing. You're laying on the floor of the Santa Monica field.

[David]

How do you not remember the embarrassing video you filmed at the Santa Monica Pier? Literally in the last video?

[Jason]

It was pretty embarrassing.

[David]

What did you say?

[Jason]

I was at Gay pride, like, promoting SeatGeek.

[David]

Oh, yeah. But this is different. You were on the floor of the Santa Monica Pier.

[Jason]

Yeah, yeah.

[David]

Looking like you just got hit by a roller coaster.

[Jason]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, you got to get the bit, man.

[David]

Yeah. So, like.

[Jason]

So you're right, Nat. It was pretty embarrassing.

[Natalie]

But it's funny that you put yourself out in that way, but then in other scenarios.

[David]

Yeah, it's one struggle because I think it just, like, starts. It's Jason's biggest downfall. And this has been. This is all my years of working with him. I know this for A fact. It's overthinking. It's the second he has any kind of prep. It's the second a conversation is slow and there's like. And there's like he's in something. That's when he starts to panic. But when it's like, off the cuff, going for it, like, just in the middle of it, like, time to run, time to do it, that's when he's the best. But it's the second he gets a moment to like. And I think that's what a conversation is. Is, like, it's, like, too slow for him to operate at a level without fear. Like, he just starts to get in his head. It's really interesting.

[Jason]

Naveen said that I do this thing where I'll be in a Start with a. Let's say I'm at a party at your house and I'm standing in a circle and I'll say, I don't have anything to say. Like that. And people will be like, okay, why

[David]

did you say that?

[Jason]

Why did you say that?

[David]

No, Like, I feel like if we were in the car on our way to, like, Saddle Ranch right now, like, to go get drinks or something.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

And I pulled over out front of that Indian restaurant you got kicked out of, and I was like, go inside there and tell them to sign up for my app. I feel like you'd crush it.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[David]

Be like a spur of the moment. You'd be like, yeah, I'm just gonna. I'm gonna treat this as, like, a bit.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

But I think it's like, when you go into things with, like, thought, for some reason, you panic.

[Jason]

Yeah. And this is also very hard to explain to people and whatever. But. Yeah, so we can move off this topic. But this is.

[David]

She's like, I'm embarrassed.

[Jason]

No, no.

[David]

I mean that all as a compliment.

[Jason]

No, I know. I know.

[David]

Because, like, you're. You are just so good off the cuff.

[Jason]

Do you ever think.

[David]

Are you trying to change the subject?

[Jason]

Well, you keep talking about it.

[Natalie]

No, no.

[David]

Go, go, go.

[Jason]

Do you ever think a gay guy is hitting on you? But you got it so wrong. It happened to me the other day.

[David]

No. And why? What happened?

[Jason]

I was out doing that seat geek promo and. And this guy was like. This guy was helping me with the video to be in the video. And then after, he was like, so can we, like, get tickets sometime? Like that? And I was. He's like, can you, like, take me to a concert sometime? And I was like, oh, yeah, maybe, you know, aha. Like, I didn't know what to say. So then, like, we see him, like, 10 minutes later, and he comes up to me and he's like. He's like. So he's like, where are my tickets? Like that. And so I go. I go. I go, oh, man, I'm married.

[David]

Oh, God.

[Jason]

Like, then he goes. He goes, I don't want to go with you. He's like, I'm not interested in you.

[David]

That's so bold of you to say.

[Jason]

And I was like, I don't know. I didn't know what he meant. He said, so Then he was like. Then he was like, I just want tickets. And I was like, well, I can't really. I was like, I kind of have to go with you because I have to, like, make videos if I do get free tickets and blah, blah, blah. And then he was just like. And he just walked away, and it was, like, really awkward.

[David]

Damn, man. Have you ever done that? Have you ever assumed? I mean, you're a girl, so I feel like you guys do that all the time. I have a boyfriend or. I'm so sorry. I just.

[Natalie]

Oh, yeah, I do that all the time.

[David]

Do people, like, approach you in the wild? Are they, like.

[Natalie]

Somebody did approach me. It's actually a funny story. There was someone approached me in Monaco that I was, like, talking with for a little bit, like, for a couple days after. Monaco.

[David]

Wait, what do you mean? Oh, okay. You met him in Monaco?

[Natalie]

I met him in Monaco. He came up to me and was, like, so into me doing all the things, whatever. And he was hilarious. We were having a good time. And then we get back, we're still texting.

[Jason]

I'd love to see what Hilarious.

[David]

Yeah, me too.

[Natalie]

Wait. He was so funny.

[Jason]

Like, what are the things that. I'm sure he was funny, but what are the things that he's saying?

[David]

When she said that, I was hung up on that, too.

[Natalie]

He reminded me of this famous comedian character. Okay, I want to say. I don't. No, I think this is, like, Napoleon Dynamite.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Natalie]

Like, he kind of talked like that, but, like, in a really. I don't know, in a funny way. It was the way that it was

[David]

like, wait, did I meet him?

[Natalie]

Well, let me get to that, because. Yes, you did.

[Jason]

He's not the best person to say that you're Is hitting on you. Because

[Natalie]

he didn't look like that, but, like, the way that he spoke was like. It's. It's. It was Napoleon Dynamite and, like, somebody else, and I forget who it is. Who. The comedic actor Is. But once. I. I don't know. But his delivery and the way that he articulated and he just, like, was saying shit.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And it was just so funny.

[David]

So what happened?

[Natalie]

And so then. Whatever. So then leave, Monica. Whatever. I'm texting him the past, like, week or so, and we're texting, and he just. In our middle of our conversation, he just, like, sends a picture of him and David from the party. Like a selfie. Like a fan selfie. David's like, doing his classic, like, peace sign fan pose. And I just got, like, the biggest ick because the whole conversation he was pretending like, or he was acting like he had no idea, like, who I was. Definitely didn't know who you were. Didn't know what I did, like, anything like that. But he has a fan selfie with David at the party. I was like, oh, do you know him? Cause I was talking about you. He was like, what do you do? And I'm talking about you. Like, this man has no idea who you fucking are.

[David]

And no, no, no. Show me, show me, show me.

[Natalie]

O.

[David]

There is a guy that does that. There is a guy at that Monaco thing that didn't know who I was. He came up to me, he's like, why is it I'm talking to all these girls?

[Natalie]

No, he.

[David]

I'm doing a fake accent and he's. All of a sudden, you walk in and all the girls are now looking at you.

[Natalie]

This guy, he was like, right when we walked on the boat, I think he took this picture. We were on the boat for, I think, like, less than five minutes.

[David]

This isn't the guy I'm about to close.

[Jason]

Oh, I got girls to my left, girls to my right.

[Natalie]

But the context of him sending this photo, like, out of nowhere, in the middle of the conversation, he sends a photo with you.

[David]

And I was like, Natalie goes, wait, do you know each other? Yeah.

[Natalie]

Cause I'm pissed now. I'm like, you just fucking lied to me this whole time. Like, you're just.

[David]

No, we met that night.

[Jason]

Haha.

[David]

Oh, how funny. I didn't really. I don't know. Maybe we don't know each other.

[Natalie]

You don't know each other.

[David]

That's Natalie's biggest fear.

[Jason]

What?

[Natalie]

I fucking hate that. Cause everybody uses me for David, you know, Like. And I fully accept that, you know, whatever. I have amazing perks being your friend. So I have also. There's the cons of where everybody.

[Jason]

They're not mutually. They're not mutually exclusive. He could, like, he could really, like. David's content and think and be into you.

[Natalie]

No, I know. Yeah, no, I know. I, I, that's, I got that, that's the process. That's what I have to keep telling myself so that I have friends and eventually have a relationship.

[David]

I found this about Natalie, like, when Natalie, we were talking about, like, your girlfriends.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David]

What is it?

[Natalie]

Well, like, I would say 90% of my girlfriends used not. They're not using me. Like, obviously I'm.

[David]

Jesus Christ. That's a crazy number.

[Natalie]

A lot. I mean, not, not like, not current. Not current, but 90% of the women that I meet in general, I would say, are just. And they meet me and they are so excited to, like, be in my orbit or whatever, at least if they make it feel that way. But it is always, eventually ends. Like, all roads lead to David. They want to kiss David, they want David, they want to meet David, they want to do something and whatever. And I, like, play along because I have a good girlfriend for like a month or whatever that I get to hang out with, and we have a good time.

[David]

That's kind of sad.

[Natalie]

But then they end up just.

[David]

Yeah, no, Natalie explained it to me the other day, and I was like, oh, wow. It's kind of whack.

[Jason]

Kind of whack.

[Natalie]

Yeah, no, I, I found that, yeah, a lot. It's really depressing, but at least I have you guys crying, you know?

[David]

No, there, there was. Okay, so there was a year ago, I hooked up with this girl that was like, our friend.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David]

And I remember this, like, I'll never forget this. And, And I was just like, blah, blah, we hooked up, blah, blah. And I'm like, why aren't you curious about, like, what happened? I was, like, so mad. I was like, I was like, I. When you hook up with people, I'm asking you a million questions, like, that's all I want to know. And, like, Ilya would be so interested in this. And it's like, it seems like you don't even want to hear about this, like, at all, like, as, like, a friend. And then she goes, I just don't like the idea that she's been my friend trying to get to you this entire time.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And, like, it grosses me out that, like, she was just here just to hook up with you.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Because they really.

[David]

And I was like, whoa, that's kind of fucking crazy.

[Jason]

Yeah. So depressing.

[David]

So, yeah, that was pretty crazy. I appreciate it.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Well, now. Yeah. So now you know. Damn.

[Jason]

You don't have any friends?

[Natalie]

No, I have friends, but I would say that. And I think it's also like a byproduct of where we live and what we do and the people that like the places that we're putting ourselves. But yeah, a lot of LA is very transactional. A lot of the people that I interact with I would consider good friends. But I also know that there is a reason why they want to be my friend most of the time. Yeah, I have a couple good friends. But yeah, I don't have any friends.

[Jason]

I don't, I don't have any friends. Like now. When you invited me to come over Saturday night, you should have seen me. I was off the wall. I was like, oh my God.

[David]

So why did you leave so early? You fucking. Maybe you'd have more friends if you stuck around.

[Natalie]

He's like 60, bro. It's fine.

[Jason]

85. I was up at 5:30. I wake up at 5:30. I Wake up at 5:00am like this. And then I try to go back to sleep. I can't.

[David]

Okay. If you said you had to be up at 5:00am, I'd be like, okay, yeah, get up.

[Jason]

No, I don't have to be. I just get up at 5. Cause that's what happens to old people. But no, I know. And I really wanted to stay. I really wanted to. And Naveen was like, why? Why do you want to stay? And I was like, because I want to, like, I want to like be there for everybody and be friends with them. But it's so hard. It's so late. It's 12 o'. Clock. We had a whole combo on the way home. But yes, I feel like I don't have friends. Like I, I texted Jay because I was so funny.

[David]

I texted, I texted Jay because I was. Well, first of all I like, I was like, where is he? Is he still in the club?

[Natalie]

Yeah. And I was.

[David]

Checked his location. He was already back at my house.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Like picking up his car like 19 minutes away. And I texted him. I was like, wait, what did I text you? I was trying to get him. I was, I was, I wasn't even trying to be funny. I was actually trying to get him to be like bummed that he left. I text him, come to main room. Dave Chappelle here. Oh yeah, Jason texts me back. Just, he goes, hahaha. Just got to your house. Jalen Brunson is in the prize fixture.

[Jason]

Oh shit. He did have me for like three seconds. For three seconds I was like, Chappelle.

[David]

I mean it was a, it's a very, it's a very, very Dave Chappelle type spot. I could see him. I could see him, actually.

[Jason]

I could see him there.
