Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Boat Life: Podcasting from a Mega Yacht (01:32–09:05)

• The group records from a 14-bedroom mega yacht in Croatia, thanks to Natalie’s planning.
• The realities of yacht life: struggling with the rocking of the boat, hearing the anchor drop during recording, missing dinners, and interacting with the Slavic crew who encourage constant drinking.
• Quote:
  “If you hear humming in the back, it’s an anchor dropping.”
  — David Dobrik (01:47)

Vlogging Nostalgia and Editing Challenges (02:44–09:26)

• David and Jason discuss returning to their original vlogging style using old cameras due to issues with new equipment and the complicated process of working with editors remotely.
• Frustration with advanced gear (e.g., Sony FX3) not suiting their fast, chaotic content style.
• Quotes:
  “Communicating with an editor is like communicating with NASA... edits take forever.”
  — Jason Nash (03:00)
  “That’s why I’ve always been scared to make a movie... everything’s made in the edit.”
  — Jason Nash (05:15)
• Natalie jokes her mom was an expert at “hacks and scams” like returning Amazon items to Target for school clothes (06:51).

Group Dynamics & “Lost in Translation” Humor (09:55–13:32)

• The group pokes fun at their own international behavior and language mishaps.
• Silly riffing on how languages evolve, how John Paul’s “frontive” becomes a private joke, and how language knowledge is both random and profound.
• Quote:
  “Learning a language means you’re knowledgeable, but really it’s just some guy who moved too far away and talked funny.”
  — Jason Nash (11:45)

Video Podcasting Debate (15:00–16:13)

• Spirited argument about whether VIEWS should do video podcasts.
• John claims everyone streams podcasts on video now; Jason is staunchly against it.

  “No one watches TV anymore because they're watching podcasts on video.”
  — John Paul (15:22)

Relationship Real Talk: Kids, Jealousy, and Self-esteem (18:45–51:23)

• Quotes:
  “Could you imagine your kid comes out super athletic? You’d literally kill yourself. I think.”
  — Naveen (24:19)
• Discussion about jealousy as a signal of caring in relationships. The group agrees that a little jealousy is good, but too much is toxic.
• Natalie and Julia argue that their confidence in their relationships means they don’t worry about “finding someone better.”
• Quote:
  “You chose me, right? Like, you chose to be with me. There’s something strong in that.”
  — Natalie (49:13)

  “I’m used to being miserable. So if you want to go...”
  — John Paul (43:58)

David’s International Crush (29:03–36:46)

• Quote:
  “You’re very pretty. I want to introduce myself. My name’s David. And she’s like, you’re David Dobrik. And I’m like, okay, good—this is gonna go a lot easier than I thought.”
  — David Dobrik (33:42)
• David gets her number but regrets not inviting her onto the boat. The group discusses how awkward it would be to invite strangers to join their five-day yacht adventure.

Game Night: Marshmallow in a Hole (30:45–31:45)

• The group describes a makeshift Croatian game invented with marshmallows and a trash can.
• Locals (and even kids) join in until an old man scolds them for playing on the street.
• Quote:
  “Do this in your kitchen! Do this in your flat! Not here on street, marshmallow on the horn—not on the street.”
  — John Paul, channeling the old man (31:22)

College Life Envy & Real-World Reflections (37:40–39:40)

The Hantavirus Cruise (39:27–41:50)

[Jason Ash]

Views.

[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. Sorry it's late. I blame it on Jason.

[John Paul]

Yeah, this is cool. This one's completely my fault, guys. I decided to book a yacht to Croatia last minute. I don't care about the money I receive from the podcast. My kids can go suck an egg. And Wyatt, you figure it out, man. Out in New York City, being in a band and all that, I'm cutting you off. And you too, Charlie. You're cut off.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, so we are currently in Croatia.

[John Paul]

Daddy's got his new wife.

[David Dobrik]

We're on.

[Jason Ash]

Daddy's got his new wife. That's crazy. That's true.

[David Dobrik]

That was crazy.

[Jason Ash]

I don't even know who your mom is anymore.

[John Paul]

Seriously though, Martin, we're just kidding.

[David Dobrik]

How you doing, guys? If you hear humming in the back, it's an anchor dropping.

[Jason Ash]

Little flex or mega yacht.

[John Paul]

That might be your biggest fle.

[Jason Ash]

I can't look how they are, Mr.

[Natalie]

D.

[Jason Ash]

No, no, no. But we're on a boat that Natalie booked for us. The. The. The boat company is letting us kind of take Guet. Shout out Guet. Letting us take this boat for a spin.

[David Dobrik]

It's huge.

[Jason Ash]

14 bedrooms. This will be in a vlog in about two weeks.

[Naveen]

Two weeks.

[John Paul]

As long as. As long as David can get the footage.

[Jason Ash]

As long as David doesn't kill himself. And I say that.

[Natalie]

Sorry, that was really dark.

[John Paul]

I should specify that it's dark times here on the boat.

[David Dobrik]

I think I'm going back to the old ways. I used to make the VLOG Cause

[Jason Ash]

this is not sustainable for what's happening here.

[John Paul]

Yeah, it's fucking up the podcast.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, that's why the podcast is late. So it is my fault.

[David Dobrik]

That's because. So spoiler. Not spoiler, but a little secret I'll

[Jason Ash]

let you guys in on. I have been editing the last videos I feel like more so than ever before.

[David Dobrik]

And. And the reason for that is I

[Jason Ash]

can't actually edit them. Like physically. Like I can't touch them because I don't know how to use the fucking program that edits like nicer footage. So I communicate with an editor, but obviously I have a lot of notes and communicating with an editor is like communicating with NASA. Like, it's like I'm in a space shuttle, I'm talking to Houston and every 20, 30 minutes we fought. We finally get word to each other and then a change is made in the edit. Therefore edits take forever. So like this, this I've been editing this fucking vlog that I can't figure out. I don't. I'm just, I'm gonna take my hands off it completely and be like, just post it. Cuz we need to post this week. I just can't. I can't get my notes in because I. I don't know. And I found out I'm not actually a good editor because I don't have a vision.

[Natalie]

Now we're being like negative.

[Jason Ash]

No, no, this is a compliment to myself.

[Naveen]

Oh.

[Jason Ash]

What I'm really good at is like I. I know when something is good. And like taste maker and explaining to, Explaining to my editor got a fun. Explaining to my editor got a fun.

[John Paul]

We're having fun, right, Jay? You having fucking fun? Because Natalie fucking got us here.

[Natalie]

Natalie trapped us on this.

[John Paul]

Natalie, she needs new tits. She needs new tits.

[Jason Ash]

Natalie's getting a breast augmentation.

[John Paul]

Is she?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, if the vlogs do well.

[Natalie]

That's, that's why we're doing the vlog.

[Jason Ash]

That's how we're doing the vlog.

[John Paul]

Oh, is that the whole reason?

[Naveen]

Yeah, that's why there's a 15 video countdown.

[Jason Ash]

She's going up 15 Cs.

[Natalie]

15 Cs.

[Jason Ash]

I don't even know if that's how that's how you reference 15 seasons. Her boobs are going to be faster. We're going to be able to drive her boots. I'm going to ride her tits over 40 miles an hour.

[David Dobrik]

Alright.

[Jason Ash]

No, no. This is a good realization I made of myself.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Ready? Okay.

[Jason Ash]

So I have no vision when it comes to editing These videos. So I can't explain to him what I want, but I know what's good. And I think the way I edit is just trial and error. So, like, I'll just sit and I'll try 30 different ways to like, cut together something. And if it works, I finally found. I'm like, oh, yeah, this feels right. And that feeling that I have, I think is my strength. And it's an impossible feeling to describe to an editor because it's. To my editor, I'm just going like, no, try again. Like, do it different.

[John Paul]

Yeah. And he's just like 30 times again.

[Jason Ash]

And he's like, what the fuck does that mean? So, like, I can't communicate because I'm an idiot and I don't know how to. Like, I can't. That's why I've always been scared to make a movie because I'm like, I don't. I can't plan out anything. Like, everything's made in the edit.

[David Dobrik]

So I think I'm have to go back to editing.

[Jason Ash]

So I completely failed on my new life of just being an on screen. Talent

[David Dobrik]

sucks.

[John Paul]

You should have just got a job at History Channel.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Hosting stuff.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Walking through caves.

[Jason Ash]

Something on the side.

[John Paul]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe like hosted with.

[Jason Ash]

And then you made a good point.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

You said. You said the editing is what the editing is.

[John Paul]

It's the only thing you're good at.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

That's the reason.

[John Paul]

It's your special sauce and it's what sets you apart from everybody else. And now you're just walking away from that. You're turning your back on it. It'd be like if you were a Runway model and you said, you know, you poured acid on your face. You know what I mean?

[Naveen]

Where is this going?

[Jason Ash]

I don't know. I don't know. What do you mean, where's it going? It already went.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Where's it going? I haven't done. He's done.

[Jason Ash]

Where's this going?

[John Paul]

We lost Julia.

[Jason Ash]

Julia just left the pod.

[John Paul]

Julia has great stories about working at Target. Really? And people would come in.

[Jason Ash]

Julia is John's girlfriend. She was sitting here listening to the pod until Jason said that acid comment and then she left.

[John Paul]

Yeah. And people would come in, in the way people would scam Target. Guess you can buy stuff on Amazon and take it back to Target.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Because you wouldn't have to have like a receipt or anything.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

My. I. Yeah, guilty.

[Naveen]

That is some. Natalie would do.

[Jason Ash]

No. N's mom. N's mom is paying rent.

[Naveen]

She's probably doing it right now.

[Natalie]

Yeah, my mom was like, the best at, like, hacks and scams with stores like that she would buy.

[Naveen]

That's two different.

[Jason Ash]

That's not like getting rid of a sore throat.

[Natalie]

That's how I got new clothes for school.

[Jason Ash]

That's called being a criminal, dude. It's a felony.

[Natalie]

Okay, well, we don't do it anymore.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I very much don't believe that. That there's a reason your mom lives in an rv and that's because she has to fucking change Target parking spots every two days. Which target am I going to steal from today?

[David Dobrik]

Come with me to North Dakota's top target.

[Natalie]

It is like an addiction. Like, I feel like once you. Once you're, like, in it, you just can't. You can't stop.

[John Paul]

Well, yeah, you need the money for rent.

[Jason Ash]

Like, stealing. What are you fucking talking about, Natalie?

[Naveen]

Scamming.

[Jason Ash]

You're not getting those fake tits acting like this crazy. Anyway, so, yeah, from now on, I also want to go back to the old camera. So we are going back to square

[Natalie]

one, ladies and gentlemen.

[Naveen]

Square one.

[Jason Ash]

I hate this new camera. I love how it looks. I hate the mic. I hate everything about this. Guys, do you know when we're done editing, we have to send it to color and audio like we're a fucking Marvel movie. How annoying is that? It's so stupid. And the dumb fucking Sony FX3 can genuinely suck my cock. I hate that camera. I hate that camera. I hate the onboard mic. I hate everything.

[Natalie]

Maybe you should just partner with a camera company and make your own camera that actually works well for people like you that are vlogging. Vloggers are.

[Jason Ash]

It's not that many, but, yeah, there is.

[Natalie]

There's a lot.

[Jason Ash]

I just hate the onboard mic, especially with the way we vlog. This is a little creator tip here. Don't use an onboard mic if you're vlogging with 10 people because you can't hear anything. It's like if you're in a room and the mic's not pointed at the right person. The reason I've always used the 80D is not because I'm just, like, stuck to it, but because it has the only. It's the only Canon that has a mic that faces multiple directions. The 90D, the newer version that came out, does not have the same mic. So, like, the 80D is so good. Like, when Jason's standing behind me or to the left of me, you can hear him just as well as if he was directly in front of me right And I think that's what made the vlog so fun, is because it felt like you're in the room. And now with these. With his directional mic, it kind of just like.

[John Paul]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I hate it.

[Jason Ash]

There's so many bits we've had to

[David Dobrik]

cut because you just genuinely can't hear the person saying anything on the left or the right.

[Jason Ash]

So that kind of ruins it.

[David Dobrik]

But I will say, this little journey of ours from making these videos, it's gotten me back into working, which is kind of nice because, like, I spent. Yeah, I spent the last three days trying to edit this on Zoom with our editors, and it's just impossible. But I have been on Zoom, and that is the biggest takeaway. So I think.

[Jason Ash]

I think it'll be easy now to

[David Dobrik]

go back and do it myself, because I've spent the amount of time I spent editing this vlog, I have contributed nothing to it.

[Jason Ash]

I could have gotten three vlogs done, but it's just like, I'm just.

[John Paul]

What did you. Last night? Were you up all night editing while we were sleeping?

[David Dobrik]

No, I fell asleep. I missed dinner.

[John Paul]

Okay. Yeah, we went to dinner last night, and they served a classic David meal. I know, chicken and rice, like goulashi, kind of.

[David Dobrik]

Did I say we're in Croatia? Yeah, we're in Croatia.

[John Paul]

Yeah, it was great. It was really tasty.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry, guys. Do you hear that? They have to hear the humming in the background, right? It's got to be driving them nuts.

[Natalie]

Let me see.

[David Dobrik]

The humming stopped the second you put on that. Yeah, look, I'm not hearing anything. All right, Take the headphones off.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, Jay, the homie's back.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, No, I missed dinner. I heard the. I heard the. The captain or the restaurant people were sad that there weren't enough people at dinner.

[John Paul]

Yeah, yeah, they were really sad. Mario had a big speech planned. It was. You know, it kind of fell short.

[David Dobrik]

I'm really scared of this crew because I have a feeling they're going to get us fucking hammered.

[John Paul]

This is like they're trying every day.

[Natalie]

I think that's kind of the point.

[Jason Ash]

It's like classic Slavic people.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I know the most. Like, I mean, it's like. It's like being at my family's house. Like, it feels.

[John Paul]

I remember we were at your family's house, and they tried to get us drunk.

[David Dobrik]

All you do is drink.

[John Paul]

Yeah, yeah. They offer me an Espresso Martini at 7:30am but they are like.

[Jason Ash]

Like, if I was to get drunk with any group. Yeah, it looks like it'd be so fun with.

[David Dobrik]

Because they're like older. They're like older men.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's got to be so fun.

[Natalie]

That's who you want to get drunk with?

[Naveen]

No, but they're like, they're like, they're

[Jason Ash]

like up 10 older men.

[Naveen]

What is that? Front?

[David Dobrik]

Frontive. Frontive, huh?

[Natalie]

Confrontational.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, like, like they're very frontive.

[Naveen]

They'll tell it to your face like type of thing.

[John Paul]

Like front if means confrontational. Is that what you're trying to say?

[Naveen]

No, cuz confrontational is not like.

[David Dobrik]

Isn't it crazy how languages work? Like if John lived in the old.

[Jason Ash]

Like cuz like Slovak is different than Croatian. Yeah, but like it sounds the same. Yeah. And like a language is so like elegant. To learn a language means you're knowledgeable in my opinion. Right?

[Julia]

Sure.

[Jason Ash]

But when you really think about it, it's just some guy that like spoke weird, move too far away and then like made the language sound a little different. Like, you know what I mean?

[Natalie]

Like John could have his own language and start his own nation.

[Jason Ash]

Like if John was around at the time and John was like I'm going to walk that way and walk just long enough and start his own little col. In a thousand years the front of colony people would be learning his language. The John like it's like some incredible high intellectual thing. But really he just couldn't speak the original language so he made a new one. Like how interesting is that? That's what language is.

[Natalie]

Do you think that is what it is for sure?

[Jason Ash]

Well, yeah, it's, it's.

[Natalie]

I never really thought about it like that guys.

[David Dobrik]

boat for five days.

[John Paul]

Are you happy you're on a boat for five days?

[Jason Ash]

I didn't think I'd like it as much as I'm liking it.

[Natalie]

I think it's so fun.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. No, no. We're in the. We're sitting in the movie room of the boat right now. They could definitely hear this anchor.

[John Paul]

Hold on, let me get. Oh, yeah, it's awful. It sounds worse in the phones than in person.

[Julia]

Really?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Paul]

It's going to be a tough pod.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

[John Paul]

Everybody's got to get on board. No pun intended. We're leaving. Guys, we're sinking. Oh, it's awful.

[Jason Ash]

Women and children first.

[John Paul]

What would you do if they said women and children first? Act small. Act like a child.

[Jason Ash]

Do we pause?

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Liberty Mutual Advertiser]

Fuck.

[John Paul]

If we can't get this podcast out, my DMs are flooded with. Where's the podcast? Okay, go talk

[David Dobrik]

this.

[Jason Ash]

Why are we here?

[John Paul]

Why can't we just be in la? Why can't we just do a video pod and hang out?

[Jason Ash]

I fucking hate video pods. We're not doing it.

[David Dobrik]

No one's on your fucking side.

[John Paul]

Everyone's on my side.

[Jason Ash]

No, they're not. You know how many DMs I get? People saying like, don't listen to Jay. Yeah, because they're video pods.

[David Dobrik]

Ruin it.

[John Paul]

What are you talking about? Video pods from Earth.

[Natalie]

They're huge.

[John Paul]

That's why everybody watches. No one watches TV anymore because they're watching podcasts on video. Naveen, watch seven podcasts a day.

[Jason Ash]

Naveen doesn't love you.

[John Paul]

What?

[Jason Ash]

Yes.

[John Paul]

Who said that?

[Jason Ash]

I could see it by looking at her.

[John Paul]

Oh, I got some video from last night that'll tell you differently.

[Jason Ash]

Wait, what did you guys do?

[John Paul]

Oh, we just canoodled all night and said shrimpa, shrimpa, shrimpa. Oh my gosh.

[David Dobrik]

Did you guys bang on the boat?

[John Paul]

Yeah, of course. Did we? Oh, yeah, a couple times.

[David Dobrik]

Wow, really?

[Esther]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Jesus, John, you were there, right?

[David Dobrik]

Should we wait for this anchor or just keep it going?

[John Paul]

I just keep talking and I'll edit around the anchor. We just have to get this.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I also hear you're bad at editing.

[John Paul]

Who said that?

[Jason Ash]

My sister.

[Natalie]

Oh, really?

[John Paul]

Which one?

[David Dobrik]

Esther.

[John Paul]

Fuck you, Esther. Bad at editing. What does she want?

[David Dobrik]

She says that a lot of times you like you'll cut off your callus off at the middle of a thought

[Jason Ash]

just to start an ad. You should cut in the middle of that.

[John Paul]

That's bullshit. I've never done that. Get her on the phone.

[Jason Ash]

No, no, I've heard this before.

[John Paul]

I cut out. I end a thought. I end a topic before it goes on too long and then it goes to an ad and then we start a new thought.

[Jason Ash]

I don't believe you.

[John Paul]

Well, why don't you listen to it yourself?

[David Dobrik]

I would never.

[John Paul]

What did she say exactly? I need to know.

[Jason Ash]

She said, you know that fat guy that you.

[David Dobrik]

That you work with?

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

And I was like, john. She's like, no.

[David Dobrik]

I'm like, jonah.

[Jason Ash]

She's like, no. And I'm like, far down. She's like, no. And then I'm like, jason. And she's like, yeah, yeah. He's like. Then she's like, he can't edit.

[John Paul]

So tell me exactly what she said so I can improve.

[David Dobrik]

No, nothing.

[Jason Ash]

She just said I should part ways.

[John Paul]

Great. Fucking good. I don't have to fucking fly 17 hours to do a podcast with bad children.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, sorry.

[Jason Ash]

You're on a mega yacht.

[Natalie]

I know.

[Jason Ash]

Everybody needs to sign a mega yacht. By the way, anything over 200ft is a mega yacht.

[John Paul]

What's a Giga yacht?

[Jason Ash]

Giga is over 300ft.

[John Paul]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

That's crazy.

[Jason Ash]

Natalie cheaped out, couldn't get us the Giga. No.

[David Dobrik]

But. Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Could you.

[David Dobrik]

Could you imagine being at sea forever?

[Jason Ash]

Because you actually do feel the rocking.

[John Paul]

Yeah, I haven't felt it too much.

[Natalie]

Really?

[John Paul]

Did you feel it last night?

[David Dobrik]

No, I don't feel when I'm sleeping. It's when I'm not laying down.

[Jason Ash]

I feel it when I'm standing up.

[Natalie]

You're off balance.

[John Paul]

It's a little bit.

[David Dobrik]

And when I'm laying in bed. Yeah, like upwards, I can feel it. But when I lay to my side, I'm good.

[Naveen]

Have you guys tried showering when it was like rocking. Oh my God, I was like Michael Jackson in that shower room. I was sliding everywhere, dude.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[John Paul]

I was thinking about how you guys went and saw the Michael Jackson movie.

[David Dobrik]

Imagine John's own continent, own language, own country. He's still thinking about it. I mean, yeah, it'd be crazy because no one wonder if. I wonder if everyone would. Would adopt the way you speak or they would adopt the way you come about thoughts. I wonder what would come first. Cuz like because John doesn't necessarily speak. Bizarre. He just like puts together thoughts. Very bizarre. And I wonder if that would be part of the culture, like having really weird comparisons like being in the shower, like Michael Jackson because you're on a boat.

[Natalie]

I mean we'll just have to wait and see like when John has a kid, like because they're gonna be influenced by the way John, you know, how they, how John thinks and how John speaks. Like the child.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, give the mic to Julia. Julia's here. Julia is, I would say most likely in this room to have a kid with John.

[Esther]

I hope so. I mean anyone else in here.

[David Dobrik]

Julia, do you realize that your kid will be. Watch your fucking mouth.

[Jason Ash]

That's my son you're talking about.

[Naveen]

Put my son out of your fucking.

[Jason Ash]

Jesus Christ. Put your son out of my name. Keep your son in my mouth. What the fuck?

[Naveen]

Fucked it up.

[John Paul]

Keep your mouth name out of my son.

[Jason Ash]

Well anyway, Kami, you were.

[David Dobrik]

Julia, you realize that's going to be. You're going to have a very interesting kid. Yeah, that's going to be the best part about your kid.

[Esther]

Yeah, it's going to be, it's never going to be a dull moment.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, it's never going to be. And the best part about when you guys have kids is it's going to be figuring out like, oh, there's John side. It could be so good to be so good.

[Esther]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

What if he's, what if he's a genius? Could be because John has a. John has genius tendencies.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, yes. But I think that comes from his mom's side. But his dad is like completely off the rocket. Yeah, I guess, I guess this will be an even more watered down version of his dad.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So yeah, it'll be more and Julia's really smart, so it'll be like. Yeah, I guess he'll be 80% smart, 75% smart.

[Natalie]

We're looking at, hopefully.

[Jason Ash]

And then it comes out.

[Naveen]

Stay back.

[Jason Ash]

Wait.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Naveen]

The 20% comes up.

[Esther]

Well, you know what his mom's theory is? Is that, like, any of the kids that got a piece of the dad's name are the ones that are, like, crazy. So, like, John. It's John Paul. And so that's his dad's name. And she's like, yeah, John's, like, so much like his dad. And then Paulina, the older sister, is, like, named after the dad, and she's also crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God. I can't imagine.

[John Paul]

A girl.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, she's like, the girl version in your form. I know Paulina, but she never. I guess she was so much older than us that I never, like, got to, like, know her. Yeah, but is she like you? Do you see similarities?

[Esther]

Yeah, she does it. Her husband told me. Like, we went on a double date with them one time, and, like, she was talking and she wasn't making any sense. Like, John and her husband turned to me and he was like, you'll get used to it.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's so funny.

[Esther]

Yeah, it was crazy.

[David Dobrik]

That's so funny. It's like Castro's Anonymous. Everyone meeting together.

[Jason Ash]

I have one of these at home.

[David Dobrik]

Don't worry. Wow, that's really funny.

[Esther]

Yeah, it was crazy the amount of

[David Dobrik]

[John Paul]

Jay, me, or John?

[Naveen]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[John Paul]

Of course.

[David Dobrik]

Can you guys time it so you can have kids at the same time?

[John Paul]

Julia, let us know when you're ovulating. Send us over those days and try to match it up.

[David Dobrik]

Wow, that would be so cool. I mean, could you imagine Giant. Well, listen, I'm gonna try to find a girlfriend or something, because we really should have kids at the same time. Yeah. And I think you and Julia aren't looking to do that anytime soon, right?

[Esther]

No. Yeah, but that's what we.

[David Dobrik]

You guys are anti kids.

[Esther]

Well, like, we're kind of just like, we don't really care to have kids. But that's what we were actually talking about is I was like, do you think if we were to ever have kids, like, we would still be, like, hanging out with everyone all the time, you know?

[David Dobrik]

Guys, sorry to interrupt. This isn't a bad editing mistake by Jason right here.

[John Paul]

Esther.

[David Dobrik]

Esther, the power went out on the mega yacht. Okay. All right, we're back. Julia, what were you saying?

[Esther]

I was just saying how John and I are anti kids. We're kind of just like, we don't really care. But the biggest thing is we would want to have kids at the same time that you guys would all have kids.

[David Dobrik]

Wow, that's crazy.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Is that John? Just so we could have him at the house.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[Naveen]

Just imagine your kid. Oh, my God. That'd be so competitive.

[David Dobrik]

Could you imagine your kid comes out, like, super athletic.

[Naveen]

Oh, dude, you'd be so pissed. You would literally kill yourself. I think.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I think so.

[John Paul]

Right? You.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Destroying your kid.

[David Dobrik]

Destroying my kid?

[Naveen]

Yeah, dude.

[David Dobrik]

Your kid.

[Jason Ash]

That kid would be melted.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Probably leave the family.

[Naveen]

You start a new one.

[John Paul]

You probably leave from embarrassment.

[Jason Ash]

Like, leave, like, hanging out with John.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Don't just leave your family. Like, I can't be with you guys anymore if my kid wasn't good at sports. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I feel kind of like I kind of would. Like. Like that.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Like, I'm really good. I'm really good at, like, finding the. The positives and things, and I feel like I'd find it, like, really cute. I go, yeah, that guy can't throw a ball for shit.

[John Paul]

I like that. Side of you. You don't show that side too much.

[David Dobrik]

Thank you.

[John Paul]

See, now you're saying your artistic side. You know, you're more. You're more. Your kinder side.

[David Dobrik]

My what?

[John Paul]

Your artistic side.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, artistic. Yeah. Natalie's been saying I'm really pessimistic, but I'm hearing you show your autistic side. Who do you think? Some more positive person.

[John Paul]

I need the trees cut.

[Jason Ash]

Okay, okay.

[David Dobrik]

Who's a more positive person, me or Nat?

[Naveen]

I mean, that's a crazy question.

[John Paul]

Okay, here's a perfect example. Group chat this morning. I'm fucking loving life and I'm fucking having my coffee. No one's up yet. I'm doing my work. I get a text from you to look at the video. I'm like, okay, I'll look at it. You know, blah, blah, blah. And then Natalie texts right after she announces a big good morning in all caps. Good morning. And then you see dot, dot, dot, from David. I'm like, here comes fucking Mr. Rainy Day. And it's like, dot, dot, dot. And David just writes, brother, like that. And so then just to combat that, I wrote back to Natalie in all caps, good morning. And David was typing, but I. I shut his typing down with a big good morning. And then David's like, everyone's really happy.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I was actually ready to start typing it. It's funny. I saw your bubbles pop up. No, Cuz. Cuz last night. Hey, Pearson.

[John Paul]

Pearson.

[Natalie]

Hey, Pearson.

[John Paul]

I need the massage.

[Natalie]

I'm about to get it.

[John Paul]

Wow.

[Natalie]

I'm late for my massage. How absurd is that?

[David Dobrik]

Pearson's here with us.

[Jason Ash]

She's in a robe.

[Natalie]

I'm in a robe. And these awesome slippers that look like duck feet.

[Jason Ash]

I know.

[Julia]

I love them.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, you're going into the massage? Guys, There's a massage room next to the movie room.

[Jason Ash]

This sounds insane.

[Natalie]

Insane.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, this. Yeah, this is insane.

[Natalie]

I film. I just filmed, like, a video in the bathroom. I'm like, get ready with me to go get a massage downstairs on a yacht in Croatia. How absurd is that? Yeah, I'm like, fully. I'm trying to post, and I'm like, I sound so, so out of touch. I'm like, there's no way to make this sound, like, likable at all.

[David Dobrik]

It is a very crazy.

[Natalie]

I would hate anyone who posted this. You're gonna go get a massage on a yacht for five days. Have fun.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, we found out this is a mega yacht, so you gotta start referring to it as a mega yacht.

[John Paul]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

As if I couldn't hate myself anymore. Okay, well, excuse me. I'm gonna go for an hour massage right next door if you need me.

[John Paul]

Hey, hey, there's always a chance of Hanta.

[Natalie]

Oh, amazing.

[John Paul]

So keep that in mind.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Thank you so much.

Yo, should we tell people how I got a girl's number yesterday?

[John Paul]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, that was big time.

[Natalie]

Wait, sorry. Just admit really quick that I am the more pleasant person so we can move on.

[John Paul]

We did.

[Natalie]

No, I want him to say it.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, wait, wait. More pleasant or.

[Natalie]

What did you say? Happier or something? Positive or positive? Positive. Positive.

[David Dobrik]

More positive.

[John Paul]

Say it so we can move on.

[Jason Ash]

Hold on.

[David Dobrik]

I'm trying to think. I'M trying to think, because obviously, looking right at it, I am the one that complains more, but I complain out of love.

[Natalie]

That's just like a way to, like. That's a facade, brother.

[David Dobrik]

Well, whatever. Whatever you want to call it. I don't know. Okay, I'll give it to Natalie.

[John Paul]

Thank you.

[David Dobrik]

But she's more positive. John, do you have any. Do you have an argument?

[John Paul]

I can't believe that you even. It's even a question. I mean.

[Naveen]

Yes, I'm surprised in fighting this one,

[John Paul]

it's like saying Natalie has more vagina than you.

[Jason Ash]

Well, actually,

[David Dobrik]

that's another good argument that

[Jason Ash]

I would give to Natalie, but not without a fight,

[David Dobrik]

because I think there is. Sometimes I swear I see a bulge. Thank you.

[Natalie]

David loves to project his own shit onto me.

[Jason Ash]

Like.

[Natalie]

Like that I'm you. Everything you say about me is actually something you feel about yourself, you know, like whenever you like.

[Jason Ash]

I love how you say that. That's you projecting. That's you reverse psychology the projection.

[David Dobrik]

That's like a typical narcissistic approach.

[Jason Ash]

No, he's not taking down.

[John Paul]

Look at. He loves best friends.

[Natalie]

You're the narcissist taking down your friends, Motherfucker.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, Natalie, you're so fucking hot.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It would never happen.

[Jason Ash]

Just kidding. That was me projecting.

[John Paul]

Tell everybody about this girl. And can we talk about marshmallow in a hole, too?

[David Dobrik]

Dude, I don't know if people can understand that. What do you want us to talk about first? Marshmallow in a hole.

[Natalie]

Good girl.

[John Paul]

I just said. David and Ilya started playing this game yesterday. We all bought marshmallows, these big marshmallows. And then they found a trash can, but the trash can is just a

[Jason Ash]

hole, like, for a water bottle.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you throw your water.

[John Paul]

Yeah, you throw your water bottle in. And then they started to try to throw the marshmallow in the hole. And it was so fun, and none

[David Dobrik]

of us could get it.

[John Paul]

None of us could do it.

[David Dobrik]

And then the Croatian kids were starting to, like, join us.

[Natalie]

The whole town was, like, in on it.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And Jason was like, this is marshmallow in a hole. He was doing a Croatian accent. He was like, this is a very famous game we've been playing in Croatia.

[John Paul]

And then an old man shouted us down.

[David Dobrik]

Old man? Yeah. What did he say to you?

[John Paul]

He just do this in your kitchen? Do this in your flat?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Not here on street. Marshmallow on the horn. Not on the street.

[Jason Ash]

Which I. I get him. Yeah, I get what he's saying.

[John Paul]

I get it. It Wasn't like we were. That.

[David Dobrik]

It was a. Just a marshmallow into a garbage bin

[Jason Ash]

and we were using the same marshmallow.

[Naveen]

Yeah, it was pretty gross.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, it wasn't like we were, like, launching 30.

[Jason Ash]

It was. No, it was.

[David Dobrik]

It was.

[Jason Ash]

We had one.

[David Dobrik]

We had two marshmallows.

[John Paul]

And by marshmallows, we mean, like, it's like a cupcake almost the size of a baseball.

[David Dobrik]

It was like a big strawberry.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But marshmallowy.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And we try to throw it in the hole, and none of us could get it.

[Jason Ash]

Well, we got to Croatia the second we got. Before we boarded the boat, there was a girl that was sitting there at breakfast. It was like, what, six, seven? AM Six, seven. She's smoking a cigarette.

[David Dobrik]

And she looked like Natalie Zane pointed her out. She's like, is that Natalie Portman? And we all looked. I was like, like, what? Is that Allie Portman?

[John Paul]

Also, there's, like, 13 of us on this trip, which is a lot.

[David Dobrik]

A lot of us.

[John Paul]

So it's 13 people being like, that does look like Natalie Portman. That's like a weird gang of people.

[Naveen]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And we're like, so American. So American.

[Jason Ash]

Especially how we came off.

[Naveen]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

Because we were all in our, like,

[Jason Ash]

American, like, young LA sweatpants.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Even me.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

I mean, it's. Yeah, it's definitely a sight to see.

[John Paul]

Who.

[Jason Ash]

Who's with us? We have.

[David Dobrik]

We have Zayn Pearson, Georgia Naveen, Jason, John Julia, Natalie, Taylor McLean. And then Adam W. Is joining us.

[John Paul]

Ilya. Oh, damn. And scan and scan and scan.

[David Dobrik]

Our filmer.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, so, yeah, so there's this girl,

[David Dobrik]

and then I got kind of at.

[Jason Ash]

The Croatian people were really nice to us yesterday.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

There's so many people we met. They kept coming up to us. And our waiter was like, yeah, you got to go up to her. Shoot your shot.

[John Paul]

Everyone couldn't believe you were so shy.

[David Dobrik]

Why?

[John Paul]

You're David, man. You should. You should go up and talk to anybody. Wow, you're so weird.

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean?

[Jason Ash]

That's like, I. I feel like.

[John Paul]

I don't know.

[Jason Ash]

I'm not sure.

[John Paul]

You think, like, Leonardo DiCaprio hesitates to walk up to a girl and say hi?

[Jason Ash]

I think he senses security. I also don't think fled. Frontif.

[John Paul]

Natalie Portman. Frontif. Sorry, go ahead. So what did you say when you finally went up?

[David Dobrik]

I said, have you ever been on a mega yacht? No, I said. I said, you're very pretty. I want to introduce myself. My name's David. And she's like, you're David Dobrik. And I'm like, okay, good. This is gonna go a lot easier than I thought.

[John Paul]

She spoke English.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Paul]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

And it made it very easy that she knew who I was, so didn't feel like.

[John Paul]

Did you get her number?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[John Paul]

And what happened?

[David Dobrik]

I texted her. I just. We left. We left split that day. But she's really pretty. I don't. I don't really know if we're gonna turn the boat back around or whatever, but I'd love to see her again. She texts back, yeah, yeah, yeah. She said yes. She asked how long weren't.

[John Paul]

Send the pod too. Yeah, there's a pontoon boat that's. That we're carrying, you know, a dinghy.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know, I just like inviting, like, a girl on a boat. Feels like. Just like a lot of like. It's like, what is that?

[Natalie]

Yeah, I wanted to invite a guy on the boat.

[Jason Ash]

He never responded to you?

[Natalie]

No. You never responded. I was like, hey, I'm thinking about inviting him, and you just ignored me. And I was like, all right.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, fuck. You totally should have.

[Natalie]

I should have.

[David Dobrik]

I thought you were. I thought you were doing it.

[Natalie]

No, I wouldn't.

[John Paul]

Just.

[Natalie]

I need. I need some support, some moral friends.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, that would. So funny. You with the guy. Why would I have. Why would I have ever said no to that?

[Natalie]

Well, because we don't really know this man.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but who cares?

[Natalie]

I care. I'd have to host him for five days.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but is that not kind of fun? Like, we kind of figure out this guy?

[Natalie]

No, for sure. But it's also like, we're filming. It's a lot of pressure, you know? I just don't know.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, God, that would be so sick.

[John Paul]

Just a guy from Croatia you wanted to invite on the boat. Was it our waiter?

[David Dobrik]

No, from another country. You actually went to with us, the guy she made out with. Remember the last country we went to?

[John Paul]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Take it over it. Nelly loves Nelly has that one kiss in a foreign place. She's.

[Natalie]

I am. She's attached, locked in.

[John Paul]

Was he trying to come visit you? Yes. And what happened?

[David Dobrik]

Just.

[John Paul]

No.

[Natalie]

I haven't really been the most communicative, to be honest, but, wow. That's why I was like, oh, I'm already over here. Like, I might as well just invite him. It's so close. It's like an hour flight.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, wow.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, it's very easy for him.

[John Paul]

Yeah. You guys could have had two lovers. Like you could have been like me and Naveen.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, can we go back to split to see her? Or what do I do? Because I kind of want to.

[Jason Ash]

Like, see.

[Natalie]

I don't think we're that far. Like, she could drive and then like, we could get the little dinghy to pick her up.

[Jason Ash]

If you just don't like a car.

[David Dobrik]

I don't like saying get the little dinghy to pick her up.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[Julia]

The boat.

[Natalie]

Sorry, the speedboat.

[John Paul]

The Dome Express.

[Natalie]

The speedboat.

[David Dobrik]

Dinghy just sounds like poop.

[John Paul]

If you had a boat, what would you call it?

[Natalie]

Why don't you just have her get clickbait?

[Jason Ash]

Dude, that'd be so lame.

[Naveen]

That'd be clickbait.

[John Paul]

It's pretty good name for a boat. I. If it wasn't you.

[David Dobrik]

I named it after Natalie.

[John Paul]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

This is my new boat, fat ass. It's beautiful.

[John Paul]

It's beautiful.

[Natalie]

The Natalina. That's a pretty name.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

No, but we should go get her.

[Natalie]

Me just gassing myself.

[John Paul]

I'm like.

[Natalie]

That name's.

[John Paul]

We're docking today at 2.

[Naveen]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Oh.

[John Paul]

What?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Jason Ash]

We're.

[John Paul]

We're. We're going into. We're not docking right, Naveen? We're going to town.

[Naveen]

We're going to town.

[John Paul]

We're taking the boat into town. The little boat.

[David Dobrik]

Oh.

[John Paul]

Which is why I wanted to get the pod done.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I won't be around then.

[John Paul]

Oh, my gosh.

[Natalie]

Oh. What?

[Jason Ash]

Why not?

[David Dobrik]

Go.

[Natalie]

I always feel about. Okay.

[Naveen]

Dude, you literally ask her. Okay.

[Jason Ash]

Go.

[David Dobrik]

I know, John. That was a joke. Dude. That's my humor.

[John Paul]

Please.

[Natalie]

No. I went down to San Diego this past weekend.

[John Paul]

Oh, fun.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, hold on. Why did Julie just send this picture of this bigger boat parked next to our boat? God damn it, Julia.

[Natalie]

I told you to unsend that. Julia. He's gonna see it and be upset that we're not on the bigger one.

[Jason Ash]

Julia, that may be a Giga yacht.

[Naveen]

There's levels.

[John Paul]

There's levels.

[Naveen]

There's levels to this.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, now what?

[Natalie]

I went to. So my sister's graduating from college. David's sister's also graduating from college. So this past weekend, Shout Out.

[David Dobrik]

Esther graduating from Parsons.

[Natalie]

And Bella is graduating from San Diego State. So we both. David went to New York and I went to San Diego this weekend to like, be with our. Our siblings. And it was so much fun. I went to San Diego. I told my sister before she graduates that I will visit her. And this is the last weekend I've never visited her. Sadly, this is the first time I Visited her. I went down there, and it was her senior bar crawl with all of her friends. I, like, put faces to the names. And it was just me and, like, hundreds of these college seniors, like, going from bar to bar to bar. And everyone was like, what the fuck are doing here? And I'm like, my sister's graduating, and it was so much fun. I know I'm 30, but, like, it was fun.

[John Paul]

It's fun. I just did that with Wyatt, too. Met all his college friends.

[Natalie]

You did the bar crawl?

[John Paul]

Well, no, but there's, like, a buzz in the air. Like, just looking at college kids. You're like, oh, my God, you guys are so fucking lucky. You're, like, living the life.

[Natalie]

I mean, they're also like San Diego State. I think, specifically, like, everybody. There it is, Barbie and Ken Central. Everyone is blonde. Everyone is gorgeous. Everyone's tan. It's like. Like they are living all their little, like, senior homes or whatever. You can see the ocean. You can see the beach from them. It's like. Like they're living the most incredible lives.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. That's kind of crazy.

[Natalie]

It's insane.

[David Dobrik]

That feels like a place, like, where you can peek.

[Natalie]

That's what I know. That's what I was like. She. She's. That's why she's, like, really emotional right now because she's like, I feel like I'm peaking. I feel like my life's never gonna get better than this. And I was like, well, the real world is a lot uglier and a

[David Dobrik]

lot less sunny, so that's actually really scary. Thank God I didn't have a good college experience. College of Lake County John.

[Naveen]

Yes, sir.

[David Dobrik]

Half a semester. That's all we needed. Did you finish?

[Naveen]

I did two years,

[John Paul]

so now I

[David Dobrik]

made it about seven months. Hey, what do you guys think about this antivirus thing? Huh?

[John Paul]

So I think it's awesome.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's sick. No, do you think. Do you think it's real?

[Natalie]

Is it real?

[John Paul]

Fake.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's fake.

[John Paul]

I think those people all made it up.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Sorry. That's not what I mean. I'm sick.

[John Paul]

Why.

[David Dobrik]

Why have we only seen one tick tock from the person on that boat?

[John Paul]

Oh, yeah, you said this is that bizarre?

[David Dobrik]

Like, why is. If the argument is everyone else is, like, really older. Like, why is no one be like, my grandpa, my dad is on this cruise. The antivirus. Like, why is no one talking about it?

[Natalie]

Yeah, that is interesting. It's just the news.

[David Dobrik]

Or maybe it's such a not. I don't want to Say embarrassing. Like, such a thing that you don't. That you don't want people knowing that you're on that cruise.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I could see that. Because then when you come back, people are going to be eight feet away from you.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

For a long time.

[David Dobrik]

So. Honestly, actually, I just answered my own question. I don't think I'd want to be the face of hantavirus. I do think people are being very, like, ruthless.

[John Paul]

That was the cruise, Tom. It's good.

[Jason Ash]

It's good.

[John Paul]

Now you're gonna tell us anything about it.

[Julia]

No, no, no, no.

[John Paul]

That was fine.

[Jason Ash]

Nothing.

[John Paul]

Nothing out of the ordinary.

[David Dobrik]

Are they off the boat?

[John Paul]

I have time in my room.

[David Dobrik]

I love how the one name you chose for the guy to be on a cruise is Tom.

[John Paul]

Why?

[David Dobrik]

Tom Cruise.

[Julia]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

That flew over my head.

[Naveen]

Yeah, that flew over my head.

[David Dobrik]

I just. I think the people in the comments are being, like, really insane about it and insensitive. Kind of. I don't know.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Welcome to the Internet.

[David Dobrik]

Color me.

[John Paul]

Yeah, but usually someone told me to kill myself this morning.

[David Dobrik]

Well, that's warranted. Usually the Internet's more woke than, like, the comments that I was seeing.

[John Paul]

The Internet is so bad now. It's like, not now. It. They're just. It's so. They're just like, let them die out there.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Everyone's like, that ship. Like, what are you doing? And, like, there'll be shots of people coming home. And people would be like, that guy should be killed.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It's like, what? This person was on us. The worst situation of their lives and

[Jason Ash]

you want them dead?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. But also, it's saying that it spreads a lot. It's not like Covid, where it's as airborne. Like, you really have to, like, intimately share something with someone. A toothbrush. Have sex with someone. Really kiss. Yeah. And it only happened. It only happens on Mega yachts.

[John Paul]

I liked yesterday when I was helping you edit and I, like, looked over at Naveen, and you, like. You're like, she's fine.

[Natalie]

Why?

[John Paul]

I don't know. It's just weird how, like, astute you are.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You said astute. I don't know what astute means.

[John Paul]

It's just. It just.

[Natalie]

You're just.

[John Paul]

You're just very, like, cognizant of what? You're very observant. Almost, like. Almost on, like, a superhero level. Like, but. But in an annoyingly unannoying level.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

Like, I use it for, like, the stupidest things. Yes.

[John Paul]

Yeah. Like, if Ilya's Opening a jar the wrong way, no one will notice it. But you'll. In a nanosecond, you point it out, you fucking moron. And then you'll be like, well, he is opening it the wrong way, dude.

[Naveen]

That's the worst.

[John Paul]

Because Naveen was tired, so we planted her in the movie room when we got on the boat. And then I was gonna help you edit, and then I just turned my head to the right just to see if she was okay. And you. And it. My head wasn't even turned yet. And you go, she's fine. She's fine.

[Jason Ash]

She's good.

[John Paul]

J. I didn't even say anything. Yeah, but you're using your powers. You do have those powers.

[Jason Ash]

You do, like, baby her.

[John Paul]

Well, yeah. She's gorgeous. Come over here, sweetheart. Come sit with me. Come over, please.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, dude,

[John Paul]

it is.

[Jason Ash]

Wait, Naveen, say something.

[David Dobrik]

Can you grab the mic? I have a question for you.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

How do you feel about this? Jason says this a lot like, jason, if Naveen ever left you, he won't be sad.

[Julia]

Yeah, he would fall apart, but he'd kill himself. He tries to act tough because he thinks it's, like.

[David Dobrik]

It's, like, hotter for you.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Esther]

Like.

[David Dobrik]

Like he's not desperate.

[Julia]

Yeah. Cause in the beginning of our relationship, we got in a fight once, and he goes, okay, if you want to leave, leave. I'm used to being alone. I'll be fine. And I'm like, this guy's kind of weird. I like it.

[John Paul]

I said, I'm great being miserable.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Julia]

I'm used to being miserable.

[John Paul]

So if you want to go

[Coop Sleep Goods Advertiser]

and

[John Paul]

then what can you do? That's like, the ultimate, right? Yeah.

[Julia]

So then I was like, you know what? I'm gonna marry this guy.

[David Dobrik]

That's crazy.

[John Paul]

No, you. You hit it on in the podcast a couple podcasts ago. It really is the thing of, like, if you like something too much, you have a fear it'll be ripped away. So you're. I'm always preparing myself that she would. She would leave. How many.

[David Dobrik]

How many more years, Naveen, would you give this, you think?

[Julia]

Well, so you. You agreed one more kid with, like, one kid with me, so I feel like that's.

[David Dobrik]

You're stuck for at least 18.

[Natalie]

18. Yeah.

[Julia]

Is good.

[John Paul]

What are we talking about?

[Julia]

No, no. I think we'll stay together forever, actually. Yeah. And I. And I'm like, I don't have, like, a problem with people getting divorced. Like, I think it's, like, so cool that you can get out of something, but I Feel like I don't see us breaking up.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. I mean, I.

[John Paul]

We had a huge fight the other night, and. And I was.

[Natalie]

I.

[John Paul]

The whole time, I was like, this is so fun. She wasn't gonna even come to Croatia.

[Jason Ash]

Wait, what was. What was. What was the fight about?

[John Paul]

The fight was about. It was. It was just. It was just a dumb fight.

[Jason Ash]

Is it private?

[John Paul]

Yeah, it was just a dumb fight. And it was so dumb because I was just like, I know we're gonna be together forever, so I don't know why we're having a shitty two hours, right?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, that's not how I saw it.

[Julia]

No, it was.

[Jason Ash]

Was.

[Julia]

It was fine, right? Yeah. It wasn't even worth it.

[John Paul]

No, it's just not worth it.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, guys, come on. What do you guys. Maybe it's, like, at the edge of your tongue, you, like, want to talk about it.

[David Dobrik]

You want to, like. You want to, like.

[Jason Ash]

You want to, like, softly touch on it?

[David Dobrik]

We'll cut it.

[Jason Ash]

We'll cut if it's bad.

[Julia]

Okay. The other day, Jason and I share a car, so sometimes I have to pick him up. I go to pick him up.

[Jason Ash]

That's so cute, by the way.

[Julia]

Look inside this little coffee shop. He's at chat. And Jason's with another woman. Just him and a woman.

[Jason Ash]

No way.

[Julia]

There's no way. And then he comes into the car all happy, and he's like, how was your day? And I was like.

[John Paul]

I was in a meeting for this podcast that Natalie was supposed to come to, and it was a great meeting. And this pot and.

[Jason Ash]

Wait, why can we not put this in?

[John Paul]

Because I don't want to. Because. Because.

[Julia]

Because you don't want your podcast girlfriend to know?

[John Paul]

Because, I mean, we can, but. But anyways, so I went to this meeting about the podcast.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

And it was, like, awesome.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Julia]

Look how angry he's getting.

[Esther]

And.

[John Paul]

And then I got out of the meeting, like, I had the best fucking meeting. And she was like. She was. She acted like I was, like, banging this woman, which I wasn't. I had no intentions of anything, like. And so that. That's what the fight was about for two hours.

[David Dobrik]

Wow.

[John Paul]

So then. So then she's like, I'm not gonna go for it. And I was like, are you? And then.

[David Dobrik]

Good for you, Jay.

[John Paul]

Yeah, good for me. Thank you.

[David Dobrik]

I think that's, like a. I mean,

[Jason Ash]

I'm shocked that Naveen, like, if.

[John Paul]

But, David, it's so silly.

[David Dobrik]

I put myself in Naveen's shoes.

[Jason Ash]

I'm driving by something on Ventura Boulevard. I See you in a store with a woman. The first thing I think about is who am I going to fuck tonight that I've been wanting to fuck for years? As Naveen. I'm like, what billionaire actor am I hitting up right now in retaliation?

[John Paul]

I told her I was going to the meeting.

[Jason Ash]

No, but good for you that she like, she fights.

[John Paul]

Oh, yeah. Good for me that she cares.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah. I think that's pretty kick ass.

[Natalie]

She thinks you're capable.

[John Paul]

What do you think about jealousy? Jealousy?

[Jason Ash]

This relationship is.

[John Paul]

Do you like jealousy?

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, I like it.

[John Paul]

You do?

[David Dobrik]

I stand by it.

[Julia]

Do you.

[John Paul]

Do you think it's important to have jealousy?

[Natalie]

I think, like, there's an ounce of it that means you care, but I think that it can also turn into something like, toxic, you know, like, it just depends. There's a balance.

[John Paul]

It's a really fine line.

[David Dobrik]

I think there needs to be, like,

[Jason Ash]

I need to feel desired.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, if I'm like, going to the club.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And my girlfriend doesn't question why I'm going to the club, I'm breaking up with her.

[Natalie]

See, I don't feel that way. I've never been in a relationship like that.

[John Paul]

I'm gonna.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, that you haven't been.

[Natalie]

But I feel.

[David Dobrik]

And I know that you've never felt love.

[John Paul]

Exactly.

[Natalie]

David thinks I've never been in love.

[John Paul]

What are you talking about? Of course you've had boyfriends that love you.

[Natalie]

No, no. Of course I know that he thinks that I'm not capable of loving another

[David Dobrik]

individual because I just don't believe it.

[John Paul]

I don't believe it.

[Natalie]

Yeah, he's just into it.

[David Dobrik]

Do you think Natalie could actually love with that heart of hers? I think Natalie's genuinely missing that part

[Natalie]

of her heart of gold.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

No, but I don't believe in that. I'm also just like. I also have this philosophy that I'm like, if you really feel like there's something better out there for you, you're insane. You know, like, I just feel like, really confident in who I am, like, as a partner.

[David Dobrik]

That's crazy. Like, you can't. Sorry.

[Natalie]

I mean, obviously. I know. I know there's people that are better than me.

[Jason Ash]

That's not what I'm even saying.

[David Dobrik]

What I'm about to say isn't me saying that, but this is what I'm gonna say.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You can't actually believe that, can you?

[Jason Ash]

Or do you just tell yourself that and I'm not saying that.

[David Dobrik]

That there aren't.

[Jason Ash]

You know why I'm saying it? Like, it's just, like, the craziest level of confidence. Like, I can't believe a human could possess that. And I'm not saying that to belittle you.

[Natalie]

No, it's.

[John Paul]

I'm with her. I think it's really. She's like that. Naveen's like that.

[Natalie]

I know that there's people that are more intelligent, more beautiful, whatever, but, like, you chose me, right? Like, you chose to be with me. So, like, there's. There's something, like, strong in that. And if you feel like there's something that's not.

[Jason Ash]

Well, I'm very.

[David Dobrik]

I'm very impressed. I'm blown away. I mean, it just shows how insecure I am because I could never think

[Jason Ash]

of that in my head.

[John Paul]

You know what?

[Jason Ash]

I tell myself that, but, like, I didn't.

[David Dobrik]

I wouldn't actually believe it.

[Natalie]

Yeah, but that. That's. That's. Then your insecurity is the downfall on your relationship.

[David Dobrik]

No, for sure.

[John Paul]

I mean, look at me, right? I'm. I'm, like, old. I'm like.

[Julia]

You're not old.

[John Paul]

Okay, whatever. I'm, like, overweight, right?

[David Dobrik]

For sure.

[John Paul]

I don't have a lot of money, and I truly, truly believe in my head that she can't do better.

[Natalie]

Well, that's crazy.

[John Paul]

Yeah, I do.

[Jason Ash]

I do.

[John Paul]

I really do think that.

[Julia]

That I can't do better.

[Jason Ash]

Oh, my God.

[John Paul]

Not that you can't do better. Sorry, that came out wrong. You could do better. Like, you could find a guy who's richer. You could find a guy.

[Julia]

You always go to money.

[John Paul]

Okay. You could find a guy that's funnier. Sure. Vince Vaughn.

[Jason Ash]

So what else you got left?

[John Paul]

But I. I don't believe. I don't believe that you won't find

[Jason Ash]

somebody divorced, £350 and $800,000 in debt,

[John Paul]

but I don't believe she'll find somebody that gets along with me. That's what I mean.

[Julia]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Paul]

And same for you.

[Julia]

What?

[John Paul]

Like, you're the same way.

[Jason Ash]

You just say the same thing again about her. That's the same thing for you. You'll never do any better. OJ you already said that.

[John Paul]

No, I feel like you're like Natalie

[Natalie]

in that regard, too.

[John Paul]

You're like. You have that much confidence.

[Julia]

It just doesn't matter because no one else is you. So if someone wants someone else, it's like they're gonna get over that. And then

[Jason Ash]

I. I don't.

[Natalie]

I also just think it takes so much time and effort to, like, form a bond, like, what you guys have and like how they're like to think about like breaking that off and trying to do that with another person.

[Jason Ash]

That.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

In my mind, I don't think I could do it with another person.

[Natalie]

Exactly.

[John Paul]

I. I don't think there's anybody that would get me in the entire world. I don't think there's another person. It like you do. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

[Julia]

Cuz it's just talking like this. Cuz we did it two times last

[John Paul]

night and said no, we did it one time.

[Natalie]

Oh my God. I wish I.

[John Paul]

You got it a second time.

[Julia]

That's crazy.

[Natalie]

This is like the most romantic place the second time.

[Jason Ash]

What the does that mean?

[John Paul]

How do you like this editing?

[Julia]

Esther, stop going after his sister. Be.

[Natalie]

Be.

[John Paul]

That hurt my feelings.

[Jason Ash]

I know, but she was kidding, by the way.

[John Paul]

Oh,

[Jason Ash]

no, she said it light heartedly. She was like, he's got to work on his editing.

[Natalie]

That's just her sense of humor.

[Jason Ash]

Yeah, like, I don't know why you like, got all weird and defensive about it. It's honestly, you have insecurities.

[Julia]

I think he tries so hard. So for anyone to say anything bad about the podcast, I'm willing to learn.

[Jason Ash]

She's gonna be bummed that I told you now because of how personally you took it.

[John Paul]

I would have rather she told him, told it to me to my face. That would be crazy.

[Natalie]

She DM'd you.

[John Paul]

Because then I could be like, esther, what do you want me to change? I'll change it. Like, if David, if Natalie said like Jason this was wrong with the thing, I'd go, oh, okay. Show me how to fix it.

[Jason Ash]

I told you that as kind of like a side thing, but you like, turn into the real meat and potatoes. So I know I'm going to get a call from her and I'm going to be like, well, that's not how I originally I just thought it'd be like a funny goof.

[John Paul]

Yeah.

[Jason Ash]

But I guess it really hurt him. No, no. Can you apologize to my sister?

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[John Paul]

For what?

[Jason Ash]

Make a big deal out of you being bad at editing?

[John Paul]

Esther, I'm sorry that I made a big deal about talk going behind my back and talking about my editing behind your back. All right, guys, happy graduation.

[David Dobrik]
