Something was off.

Something was off?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Why didn't you kiss anybody, Nat?

[Natalie]

You know, I really wanted to. And Georgia too. Our friend Georgia was. Was on the trip, obviously. And it Was our mission to find a hot, hunky Brazilian man. There weren't like, any, like, hunky men that I was, like, dying to kiss.

[David]

Yeah, I agree.

[Natalie]

There was a lot of, like. There was a lot of, like.

[David]

I was on the lookout for men for you too, by the way.

[Natalie]

Really?

[David]

Yeah. And. And it. You know what it felt like? It felt like either the men were really old or extremely young.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

There was, like, no in between.

[David]

There was no in between. Yeah. Like, all the guys that were into you were like 16, 17 year olds at the beach, like, trying to, like, get you guys attention.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

There was like, we filmed a scene where. A scene.

[Natalie]

A scene.

[David]

A scene with our producer and. No, no. But we were filming a shot where we're like, they have the showers on the beach. They have the shower on the beach. It's like. It's like a very classic thing.

[Natalie]

Very Brazilian.

[David]

Like, Natalie was showering with, like, Georgia, like, after you go use the.

[Natalie]

After you go in the ocean, you go rinse off the salt water.

[David]

Feel like I just filming. You guys shower regularly in the shower.

[Natalie]

And there's two shower heads, so it was perfect. So George was on one side.

[David]

Now he's making out with Georgia. No, but there's a group of boys just, like, gawking at him.

[Natalie]

There was one boy that, like, came over to use the shower, and then he, like, looked up and realized what was happening and then was like, just stopped in his tracks, like, shook. And then he, like, calls over all eight of his friends, and they just stand. They're like, maybe three feet away from us, just standing there staring and being like.

[David]

And it's really funny. They all got, like, their arms around each other. Like, you know, like when, like, a group of guys are checking out a girl in a movie.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And it's like they're all kind of like shooting eyes. It was like the most, like, foreign thing. It's a very foreign way of looking at women. And it was. It's like the most cliche way of, like, all gathering. Like, even, like, almost to the point where, like, one of them's like, rubbing their chin. Like, literally.

[Jay]

I think.

[David]

I think one guy was rubbing his chin. I think they. I think it's like a maybe thing that they've seen in the movies and they're like.

[Jay]

I think that's just what they do there.

[Ferris]

Really?

[Jay]

I think you just go up and take a look.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think they care.

[David]

I feel like in America, the way guys approach girls is like, they do that like, swag walk. Like, when they're. When they're in groups, you know, it's like one of those walks where you're, like, swaying back and forth and looking at the ground, looking up at the girl, looking at the ground, looking up at the girl. Like, that's kind of the American way to approach a girl in, like, a douchey way.

[Natalie]

You know what the problem was at the club? I think our security guy was the hottest guy there.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Rodolfo.

[David]

We had a really hot security guard.

[Natalie]

Yeah. And also, any guy that would come up to us, they'd be like, this guy does not want us here. You know, whatever. Because he, like, looked scary, intimidating. But there was. There was these two boys that were, like, across the dance floor, and George and I were like, okay, let's just find. Let's just make eye contact with someone. Just, like, call anybody over and just, like, see what happens. And so we, like, the see kind of parts of people. And like, there's these, like, two, like, kind of tall brunette guys. And George. George is so, like, great at this. And she was like, okay, just. Just look at them and just, like. Let's just call them over. Like. Let's just wave them over and be like. You're just making like. We're like, I don't know, like, little tiger things or whatever. Just, like, flirting with them in, like, the most gross.

[David]

I don't like that you just did that now. Ew.

[Natalie]

I just did it with the most, like, formal.

[Jay]

Did you do a tiger route?

[Natalie]

Oh, my God. Yeah, we did. And we were like, come on now.

[David]

I just turned her little hands into claws.

[Natalie]

A little tiger paw got the ick. And. And then. And then both the boys, like, locked on with us, and they were, like, froze. And then they looked at each other. They're like, oh, I think they want us over there. And then they, like. They nodded their heads. Yes. And then they came over and they talked to us.

[David]

Wow.

[Natalie]

It, like, worked so well.

[David]

Make out with them.

[Natalie]

No, but that was my one, Like. Or I was like, okay, maybe. But then he went to the bathroom and I left.

[David]

Okay.

[Natalie]

He was like, stay here. And his friend stayed. And then George and I were like, let's just leave.

[David]

So then at the same time. The same time this was happening, me, John and Ferris.

[Natalie]

Yeah. David told us that he was leaving the fucking club.

[David]

Which we were until I left.

[Natalie]

Fucking shit.

[David]

Until I left the club. And I was like, we should go to another club. Yeah. And then we went to another club.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And it was.

[Natalie]

Did you actually go to another club or is it still part of, like, the route?

[David]

Yeah, dead as. We went to another club while the girls were still at the other club. And I said, let's go have, like, boys night. Let's just, like, be guys, you know? We got to the next club, and I walk in, I'm like, oh, this is not it. So then we. Where we asked the people at that club. We're like, what's the best club to go to? And they were like, bosque. Which just so happened to be the club we were already at. We're like, we just came from there. And then I was like. And then I was like, to, like, us guys that we're with, I was like, okay, let's go to the club, but let's enter from the back and we'll buy a table in a different spot so it'll feel different. So for the final, like, hour and a half of the club.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

We spent on the other side of the club. So Natalie and all the girls didn't even know we were back at the same club. And then when Natalie was leaving, we finally. Because we saw him the entire time, because we were just far enough where we could, like, see their heads.

[Natalie]

No way.

[David]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when we saw them, we were like, time to go. So then we met him at the bus, and we were like, okay, let's go.

[Natalie]

I was wondering how you tied that so perfectly.

[David]

And Natalie was like, what the. You guys were there the entire time?

[Jay]

Why did you call Natalie over to your table?

[Natalie]

We did a lap, too. Did you see us do the lap? We, like, went around all the way through the back to, like, go.

[David]

No, no. We were, like, in a really good spot where, like, we were.

[Natalie]

You couldn't.

[Jay]

You want Natalie.

[David]

We were in a crime spot. So the way tables work in Rio, which I think is amazing, and I wish they did it. It's all a giant dance fl. Like, everything's a dance floor. And if you buy a table, they just bring you, like, a pop up, like, portable table.

[Natalie]

Yeah. If you buy either a bottle or, like, a bucket of beers, they just bring you a pop.

[Jay]

The table appears, right?

[David]

The table appears wherever you want it.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

So, like. So, like, I bought some beers, and I was. And he was like, where do you want to go? And I was like, hot girls. And he was like, oh, follow me. And he, like, put the table on his back, and, like, he was, like, carving through the crowd. It was really funny. Yeah. And then he, like, he, like, put me in a really Good spot. Absolutely crushed. I mean, that's where I was, like, trying to not make out with this girl. That was my biggest problem. I was like, you put us in too good of a spot. Yeah. So. And then we all end up going home. It was really, really fun.

[Jay]

I had Naveen, who had too many drinks.

[David]

Same night Naveen got drunk.

[Jay]

You guys didn't understand that, like, after three drinks, she's done. You guys are egging her on. And I was like, oh, we've vlogged

[David]

all this, by the way. I think it'll be out. We vlogged it with a new style, so we'll see what that means. We filmed a lot, actually. More than we normally would. And it was more. It was all, like, hanging out stuff, which is interesting.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

So we'll see how that goes. I think it'll be out in, like, I don't know, two, three weeks. We don't fucking know, right? Two, three weeks.

[Natalie]

Stay tuned.

[David]

But, yeah, so that was really lit. I think Rio in general is a really good trip. Poor Zane. Zane is over 2 on our trips.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

The last trip, we went to the Philippines with him after leaving Australia. Second, we touched on in Philippines. He got super sick. Had to stay in the hotel the entire time. We didn't even see him until he decided to leave the trip early because he was just feeling like.

[Natalie]

And then here, he almost left this trip early too. He was like, I'm just gonna book a flight home.

[Ferris]

Oh, really?

[Natalie]

And I was like, zayn, let's not be crazy. We. We have. The beautiful sunshine is now coming out. Like, you haven't even seen the beach yet.

[David]

Yeah, we landed. It was raining for the first three days. Yeah, the first day we landed, I was like, we should just go home and come back in a week. That was a serious thought I had because we had this incredible villa that you'll see in the vlog. And I was like, we're going to waste this villa, so just call the Airbnb people and just beg them. Can we, like, use a coupon and redeem this next week when the sun's out? This is a serious thought I was contemplating. Luckily we stayed. We waited a little bit and the sun came out. Is incredible. But like, the second day in, we went in the rain, as it was pouring rain to one of the favelas. There was. And Zane got fruit there, which is like a big no, no. And he ate, like, a bunch of apples and grapes. It's all washed. All the fruits are washed in their water.

[Jay]

Did you Watch him do it.

[Natalie]

Oh, yeah. But we didn't think anything of it because the tour guide took us there.

[David]

Yeah. Yeah. We were thinking, in hindsight, it was the death to Zayn's weekend.

[Natalie]

Dumbest thing.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But then also, John and Ilya ate that street meat.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

At the soccer game.

[David]

I think fruits are completely different. I think these fruits washed in the water could be 50, 50, like, depending on when it was made.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

But I think fruits are just washed in the water and, like, our stomachs can't handle that. And Zane was. Zane had a fucking nightmare of a trip. For three days he went to the hospital. Yeah.

[Natalie]

Wild. Poor thing.

[David]

And then the first day he was feeling healthy, he drank an energy drink.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, immediately. And. And then went for a workout. And then he got sick again.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster 0ul. That's the OG. It kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing. But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian Sunrise, and Vice Guava. And they all bring the Monster Energy punch. So if you've been living in the White can branch out. Ultra's got a flavor for every vibe, and every single one is Zero Sugar. Tap the banner to learn more. How many discounts does USAA Auto Insurance offer? Too many to say here.

[David]

Yeah, it was a really fun trip. I'm really excited to see this vlog. I'm saying it like a viewer, because I'm not editing it. I'm, like, convinced that I'm not gonna have notes. I'm convinced that everyone in the world knows how to edit. I'm under the same impression here. Ferris, you could speak on this. So, Farris, what are we doing with this vlog? Farris is Art. What are you and what are you here?

[Ferris]

I have no idea. What's my title?

[Natalie]

I like to say producer.

[Ferris]

Producer.

[Natalie]

I don't know. Does that feel like good to you?

[David]

It's kind of lame because Ferris does, like.

[Natalie]

I mean, you do so much more

[David]

than, like, a lot and a lot. And he also does. Yeah, he's just like, overseer of content.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Head of content.

[David]

Just making things up. But yes, so far as this new video that we're making, I'm not editing. You're convinced that I'm gonna have notes when the video comes back? Yeah.

[Ferris]

David thinks that everybody can edit. That's just because DAV was really good at it and it just comes natural to him. But it is really hard to edit.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Ferris]

So he just thinks we're going to give the footage to somebody and they're going to make the perfect video. And he's really convinced of that. So I'm going to let him do that. But on the side, I'm going to properly do it as well, get like more people involved.

[David]

So you're going to. Yeah, you told me this yesterday. You're going to have multiple people edit it?

[Ferris]

I think so. Because I'm worried that. Or we're not going to like nail it. Yeah, you know, in the first.

[David]

So I'm sending it to this one editor, this guy, can I read these DMs? I'm kind of putting it together now. He maybe listens to the pod and that's why he said it. But this guy messaged me on Instagram. He's from a European country. And he said, you like to edit your videos or never just found an editor who can edit on your level? I said, I don't love editing anymore. Haha. How come you ask? He said, I had a hunch. Smiley face. Just thought, you shouldn't need to edit anymore. If you ever want to try to outsource, I think I could help. And then I said, what you're thinking? And then he said, if you want to give it a shot, let me edit one. If you like it, you don't need to edit anymore. And then I said, ooh, okay, have you seen any of my videos? Or like, have you seen an X number? Or like, what's your vibe with my videos and my style? And then he said, all of them love your style. I did something similar to your videos back in the day. Low budget version, of course. So then I was like, okay, I'm just gonna send you the footage that we shot and then you make something out of it. And yeah, at the end he said, he said this, he said, if you like, you don't need editing anymore. Which is really exciting. So if he kills it, then I'm good. I think he will do good. I don't know, I just like really trust confident people. How?

[Ferris]

What, what do you think this video will be like your ideal, like video that we just made?

[David]

Just like vlog mixed with vodka.

[Natalie]

God, I hate his lack of vocabulary.

[David]

Yeah.

[Ferris]

Jason, what do you think?

[David]

Wait, what? Wait, what did you say when Ferris, you started shooting with us? We were at the Great Wall of China. What was that example that you. I don't know. I know Ferris was saying that, like, I can't explain properly. I'm really bad at explaining how something should look. And, like, he was shooting something and I was like, ferris, that looks stupid. And how do you.

[Ferris]

Yeah, basically we're at Great Wall and we were shooting the shot of Ilya and David coming up the stairs. And I. I started shooting it, and then David was like, no, don't shoot like that. Don't be stupid. So then I was like, okay, sounds good. And then we. We were there for another hour and I shot it like 50 times, and I still couldn't get it because David just kept saying, don't, don't. Don't shoot it, like a stupid person. And I just didn't know what that meant. But, like, now I know what he means. Back then, I did.

[Jay]

What does it mean?

[Ferris]

It just means, like, shoot good. Don't be stupid.

[Jay]

Be more descriptive for the audience.

[David]

I mean. And then we switched spots and we

[Ferris]

switched, but I was like, show me what you mean.

[David]

So then I was like, okay, Ferris, you run with Phil. Yeah. And I'll show you.

[Ferris]

And then I ran, and then he showed me. I was like, oh, this makes sense. You can't shoot it the right way.

[Jay]

What was the difference?

[Ferris]

It was like, moving with his hands, like, moving with, like, how the person's coming up, like, like, properly.

[David]

That was really funny.

[Ferris]

Really funny. Because he doesn't have vocabulary because he's

[David]

not like a director, right?

[Ferris]

Like, from film. He didn't go to film school or anything, but he knows what. What looks good and stuff. So it's really hard to, like, communicate that to other people.

[David]

Yeah, I have a really bad. And these new cameras are really tough, and I'm on the other side of the camera. So now I'll be like. Like, we had. We had a filmer with us, and she, like, shot something. I was like, I don't think you got that. And I was like. And she was like, I think I got it. I was like, I don't think so. Unless you're like, lens is extremely wide or something. And then we watched it back and it was just out of frame. So, like, like, it. It sucks that, like.

[Jay]

Yeah, but you do do this thing when you're. When you're like, you don't do enough directing. You should get better at that. Like the other day.

[David]

No, for sure, I. I described something as stupid as the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[Jay]

But I mean, like, when we were at the pool the other day, you. You were telling. I knew what you were going for, but you never verbalize it. I wasn't even a part of the bit. I was just watching you film somebody jump in the pool.

[David]

Oh, yeah, I'm bad at verbalizing.

[Jay]

Yeah, but you should take the moment to be like, okay, you're gonna. If you were on an actual set, you'd be like, okay, you're gonna. One here, four steps. You're gonna jump from here. You're gonna land here.

[David]

No, I know.

[Jay]

You know, but you don't take. You got to take the moment to do that.

[Ferris]

It's just really obvious for him.

[Jay]

Right, right.

[David]

It's not that it's obvious for me. It's just, like, when you're behind the camera, you're obviously doing exactly what you want to do because you're behind camera, but it's just like, no one can read your thoughts. That's. That's all it is. And I just expect people to.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, I. Yeah.

[Jay]

You'll be like, what the fuck? And I'm like, he never told them?

[David]

No, no, that's for sure. My fault, for sure.

[Ferris]

Did you talk about Imposter?

[David]

Oh, no, we. We. We played games of Imposter. This was. This was big.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

So if you. I'm like. We filmed Imposter for, like.

[Natalie]

Well, like, at least an hour or two.

[David]

An hour of our footage is just playing Imposter from different days, more than an hour. Everywhere we would go, whether we were on the bus, at the house, or at dinner, we were playing a round of Imposter. Yeah.

[Jay]

And also, it took forever to get anywhere in Rio. So we were on the bus a lot.

[David]

Yeah, yeah, we were on the bus a lot. Like, our airport ride back home, we played Imposter for three rounds.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And that was, like, an hour and a half of games. And Imposter is an incredible game where there's four of us in this room right now. And the word will be chicken. Right. Like the meat. Okay, so we'll read off our phone. So Natalie will get the word chicken. Jason will get the word chicken, Ferris will get the word chicken, but I'll get the word imposter. So that means I have to pretend like I also know the word. And everyone else in the room is guessing who doesn't know the word. So then you go around the room. Ferris says a word that reminds him of chicken. So this is a very basic version, but he'll be like, Chipotle. Right. Okay. And then. And I'll be like. I'll be picking as the imposter. I'LL be like, okay, Saint Chipotle. Maybe the word that they all have is Mexican or Mexico or steak or chicken, whatever. And then you go around the room, everyone says one word until you figure out.

[Jay]

But if I say. If I say fried.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Then that's.

[David]

Then the whole room gets mad at you because you just gave the word away to the imposter.

[Jay]

Right.

[David]

And we get so passionate about it, and there's so much screaming that was going on. It was the. I. It got to the point where I loved it so much, where I was like, we have to start a YouTube channel, like, just for imposter games. Because, like, I really want to put in this vlog, but it's really, like, our best game was, like, 45 minutes long. And I don't want to spoil how it ends, but it was incredible. It was incredible.

[Natalie]

Yeah. The imposter did.

[David]

It was. It was the. The. The best thing. We probably shot.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But it's also. It's also like you. It's hard for a lot of people to play because you'll say, like, let's say the word is chicken. And then, like, you and John, like, have a memory of, like, inside.

[David]

Yeah, yeah. Like an inside joke.

[Jay]

Yeah. Like, you and John went to the park and had chicken when you were in grade school. So then you'll be like, park, yeah. And then John's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get that. I get that.

[David]

So and the game of imposter is like.

[Jay]

And then I say fried.

[David]

And you guys are like, what the.

[Jay]

Like, what the Are you doing, Jay?

[David]

Yeah. Because you have to make it so, like, if. If Natalie knows the word chicken and I know the word chicken, and I'm trying to test if she knows it. I'm not gonna go chipotle or fried. I'm gonna go scared, right?

[Natalie]

What? Even I don't get it.

[Jay]

Scared.

[David]

See it. Exactly. This is the exact reason why these people suck at the.

[Jay]

You people start screaming at you.

[David]

If Natalie just reacted like that when it happened.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

I don't get it. I'd be like, you're the imposter. Like, you're the imposter. If you don't get it. If you don't get chicken is to scared. Yeah. So we did that. That was a blast.

[Ferris]

That was.

[David]

It was. It got really, really, really competitive. Ferris. Ferris lost his trust in me at one point. What?

[Ferris]

Oh, my gosh. That was crazy. David does this thing. If he's imposter, he will start questioning other people, and the minute he sees the word he'll be like, oh, this is a good word. He's really good at being imposter. So then I'm. Everybody believes that he's definitely not the imposter.

[David]

I had a good imposter game where everyone voted everyone but me. And then I don't remember. It was like, oh, it was like Santa Claus or North Pole.

[Ferris]

North Pole.

[Natalie]

It was Santa Claus. It was Santa Claus. That's why you said North Pole Santa.

[David]

Oh, it was Santa Claus was the word. And my first word as imposter because I picked it up because somebody said like snow and somebody said gifts. So I'm like, oh, it has to do with Christmas. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna say something about the North Pole. So I went, okay, guys, think about it. Think about it. This is a deep cut stripper, right? Yeah. And that should get you to go stripper pole and then pole to North Pole. And only a person that really knows the game would know that. Therefore everyone completely fooled that I wasn't the imposter. And I remember at the end of the game, Ferris was like, I don't think I could ever trust you again. And I consider that too good at it. A big time win. So that was. That was my favorite moment. And then you say you got an employee from the pod.

[Ferris]

I did. So I made my debut on these podcast, I think a few months ago. Yeah, like two people DM me. I was like, wow, this is what it feels like to be famous.

[David]

Yeah, for sure. But how are you? How did you deal with it? Were people coming up to you at the store?

[Ferris]

I don't know. I had to, like, reach out to Natalie and talk about Brandy too. Yeah, yeah, I'm working on the Merce line right now, but. But yeah, one of the guy listened to it and reached out to. To me to be like, be in my company. Really be an employee. Yeah. And now we hired him just now and this is like his first week.

[David]

Wow. What is he doing?

[Ferris]

He's editing.

[David]

Is he good?

[Ferris]

Yeah, he's pretty good.

[David]

Wow. How many people have you hired?

[Ferris]

We have like over 20 now.

[David]

20 employees.

[Natalie]

Damn.

[David]

This is like a Mark Wahlberg over here. Or wait, who's the other guy? Mark Zuckerberg.

[Natalie]

We've been at this for like eight

[David]

years now, and we have 20 employees.

[Natalie]

We don't have 20.

[David]

If we had 20 employees, I'd have way less money. So you have to think about that.

[Natalie]

You'd have to make more money, brother.

[David]

I have way less money for vacations for myself. No, no, I understand. I get it. I get the importance of employees. But also, like, so boring. So boring.

[Natalie]

So boring.

[David]

Now I'm there. I just don't like that you're behind hiring the employees.

[Natalie]

It's funny because I'm the one that hired Fairey's. I'm the one that hired Taylor.

[Jay]

That's true.

[Natalie]

I'm the one that's made every amazing hire. You be such a.

[David]

That is true. You do.

[Natalie]

You do actually, a really good job.

[David]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay]

Weird.

[David]

Wow.

[Jay]

I found Taylor.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Ferris]

Oh, wow.

[David]

Oh, wow. Wow. That's crazy. I didn't know you found Taylor.

[Jay]

What?

[David]

Wow.

[Natalie]

Who else would have found literally anybody?

[Jay]

You found me, Dave. Fuck.

[David]

That just goes to show Natalie. Natalie is better.

[Jay]

0 for 1.

[David]

Okay, yeah, I get that. I don't know. I think. See a Ferris. I think. I think. What?

[Ferris]

Why?

[David]

I don't like, why. I don't trust Natalie.

[Natalie]

I just don't think you like when I have, like, any ounce of control.

[David]

No, that's not it. That's not it. It's just because for me, it just comes from a fear of, like, oh, she doesn't want to.

[Jay]

She doesn't want to do the 18

[Natalie]

jobs she has to do.

[David]

She just, like, wants to vacation more, so she's hiring more people.

[Jay]

You're vacationing anyway. You guys are always going somewhere, so that. That's just like a moot point. Yeah, like, you guys go everywhere. You guys travel more than anyone.

[Natalie]

But, you know, that's.

[David]

That's what I'm saying.

[Natalie]

But that's.

[David]

I'm saying she wants to work less, so she's, like, hiring these positions.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[David]

I don't think it's true, but, like, that's, like, where my, like, you understand security SEO comes in.

[Natalie]

Exactly.

[Jay]

You really think she wants to work less? Yeah, I mean, like, anyone in the

[Natalie]

world wants to work.

[David]

That's what I'm saying. I just, like, think, like, you know, she'll hire a person for, like, something really random, and I'll be like, do we really need a person that holds the door open when we leave?

[Natalie]

Okay, that's insane. I've never done that.

[David]

No, I know.

[Jay]

Not that funny.

[Natalie]

I think you hire those people.

[Jay]

Yeah, you're the one that's hiring. They hang up people.

[David]

Protein is now at Starbucks, and it's never tasted so good. You can add protein cold foam to your favorite drink or try one of our new protein lattes or matcha.

[Jay]

I'm wide awake.

[David]

Try it today at Starbucks. I was watching this movie the other day. What was it? Oh, Good Fortune. It was like. It's. Seth Rogen plays like a rich guy.

[Jay]

Yeah, I saw it.

[David]

And switches with. Switches with Aziz Ansari, right? So Aziz Ansari is having dinner with this other rich guy, and this rich guy's talking about. I guess that was the first part. Wasn't important. Anyway, this is rich guy in the movie talking about. About who he just hired. He's like, I hired a guy for vibes?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Oh, my God. This is literally what I've done. I've never heard anybody reference.

[Jay]

I thought of you when they said that.

[David]

Oh, you saw that? Yeah. And he's like. And he's like. And then he helped me throw a party, but the vibes weren't there, so I let him go. I was like, this is crazy. This is literally, like, I say this stuff. I thought that was very, very interesting. Yeah, we hired John for the vibes. John's incredible at vibes.

[Natalie]

You definitely need personality hires, for sure.

[David]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Keep the vibe side.

[Jay]

John's incredible.

[David]

John's. He's like a gem, isn't he?

[Jay]

John's.

[Natalie]

He really is a gem. It's.

[David]

He could connect with anybody. Yeah, it's really.

[Jay]

I heard someone. I heard someone thought he was in Spider man at the airport.

[Natalie]

He got recognized. Where were we?

[David]

It's recognized more than like, no, no, no.

[Jay]

Someone was like, are you the guy from Spider Man?

[Natalie]

No. Yeah. People think that he's the Guy from Spider Man.

[Jay]

They do it. That happened a lot.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

That's really.

[David]

In Brazil, I think it happened in Brazil. It happens. It's happened a couple times where he's been driving my car because I've been drunk.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And like, we'll stop at another place and valet will take the car.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And he'll be behind the wheel. So they'll be like, who's this guy? And they. Their head always goes through.

[Jay]

Oh, my God. How about that airport today? Do you know what it cost me to get through security today?

[David]

Oh, let's backtrack.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

There's like a government shutdown or like a half government shutdown.

[Natalie]

It's a tsa.

[Jay]

Been going on.

[Natalie]

Shut down.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But.

[David]

Going on for a month. But. But it's like now it's affecting the airports, like, more than before.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And we connected from Rio to Atlanta. We had to get our bags and go through, like, the check in again. And the line was fucking crazy. Like out the door of the airport crazy. We had to sign up for clear. Did you already have clear?

[Jay]

I had to re. Sign up.

[David]

Yeah. Okay. So we signed up for clear, which is whatever. Great deal. 200 bucks got us into the clear line, which was the length of a regular line at the airport. Right.

[Jay]

Right.

[Natalie]

Honestly, probably longer than that.

[David]

The clear line was. It was like an hour and a half wait.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Which was crazy.

[Jay]

Yeah. And they're just. They're just like making so much money just signing everyone up for clear. And then you're not getting to go through. You're not getting the benefits of clear. So Naveen bought clear. I bought clear. And then that was. That was 400. That was $300 because we got a little discount. And then we were in the clear line and I was going to miss my flight. And this guy had given us a pass for $99. So then I pay another hundred. It cost me $400 to get to the.

[David]

Hold on. You're not even explaining how cool this is. This is like. You're like complaining about it. This is like the coolest feature ever. What's cool? What are you talking about?

[Natalie]

Clear.

[David]

Yeah. You got to. I would brag about this till the end of time. You paid $100 to skip. There are people that got to that airport today at 2:30 in the morning for a 6am flight and then miss their flight. For 100 bucks, you could take you plus four people and clear literally walks you to the front of every line. In front of the clear line, also in front of Every line, they pull you out of wherever you are, they come find you in line, and they take you and a group of four people and they literally escort you to the front of the TSA line. I know that's confusing.

[Jay]

That's what clear is.

[David]

Yes and yes.

[Jay]

Do you know what I'm saying?

[David]

But, Jay, today the clear line was as long as a regular line. What are you saying?

[Natalie]

Well, he's saying that that is the normal perk you should be receiving.

[Jay]

Now.

[Natalie]

They're making. They're charging you additionally for that.

[Jay]

They're making you pay again for the normal perk.

[David]

That's because everyone has clear. What do you mean?

[Jay]

Okay, there's TSA.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

You don't need clear if you have TSA. You can just go through TSA.

[David]

No, TSA PreCheck is still busier than clear.

[Jay]

No.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

No, that's not true.

[David]

Yes, it is. Natalie.

[Jay]

Clear doesn't take you through tsa. Clear takes you through the regular line.

[David]

Yeah, yeah. It takes you right in front of

[Natalie]

TSA is a completely different section.

[David]

Yeah, but clear immediately takes you through TSA PreCheck. Right. Still has a line.

[Natalie]

Yeah, but usually it doesn't have a line.

[David]

No. Clear usually never Clear never has a line, period. They just take you clear never has. TSA PreCheck does normally Clear takes you in front of everybody. This time, Clear had a line that was maybe 600 people, and now with this extra 100 bucks, it takes you in front of all the clear people, which I thought was insane. If they came up to me and they were like. And we were about to miss our flight, and it was a thousand dollars for me and all my friends, I'd be like, yeah, let's go. Like, missing our flight's gonna cost so funny.

[Jay]

We're looking at it in two different ways. I see what you're saying, but I. I'm looking at it like a complete.

[David]

All of us were blown away. We could. We thought it was. We thought they were like.

[Natalie]

I mean, when you're in that scenario,

[David]

everybody that was in our line was like, you're kidding. You're paying the people around us. Like, the guy that you told me, Jason, came up to me first, and there was like, you know, they're charging $100 to get you through this line.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And the guy that was right in front of me was like, that's got to be a scam. There's no way that you can get through this line just for 100 bucks.

[Jay]

Right, right.

[David]

And then the woman behind me was like, there's no way, just for 100 bucks, I can get to the front of this line. Everybody around me like, could not believe this deal.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And I was like, it. I gotta try this thing. And I did it. And everyone. The people that were around me were mind blown.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

They were like, yes. I'm shocked that you're looking at as a negative.

[Jay]

I look at it. I'm just looking at it. It cost me 400 to get through security.

[Natalie]

Yeah, but you would have missed your

[David]

flight and you would have had your flight, brother.

[Jay]

I know, but, guys, what's. There's something wrong with our system. If it cost me 400 to get through.

[David]

It's a government shutdown. What are you talking about? Okay, well, there's a large. There was not a system.

[Jay]

There is a.

[David]

You literally skipped the line during a time when there was not a system, brother.

[Jay]

I don't know.

[David]

I don't know.

[Jay]

I can't believe. You know, I see. I see what you're saying.

[Natalie]

I understand.

[Jay]

I'm trying to look at this.

[David]

Not like that. But now you have clear for two years. It's not like you just spent 400.

[Jay]

No, it's. It's 200 a year, okay?

[David]

It's annually. You have clear for 12 months.

[Jay]

I already have TSA. In other words, why am I paying? Like, I think you look at it. You look at money differently. Like, it's. That's like, that's insane for a regular person that's going to miss their flight to be like, oh, fuck, Now I'm at $400 because I wasn't late for my flight. I had. We had two hours to get through to do everything. Like, I was on time. I was there. Like, that's fucked up.

[David]

I wasn't late for my flight is a fucking crazy way to think.

[Jay]

Why?

[David]

What do you mean?

[Jay]

It wasn't like.

[David]

And the TSA workers don't have to be there because they're not getting paid. Like, everybody.

[Jay]

If everybody get back pay, by the

[David]

way, yes, they get paid later, but. But that's the reason they're not showing, because they don't get paid.

[Jay]

Yeah, that's fine.

[David]

If everyone thought like that, like, we just.

[Jay]

I can't believe you're looking at it.

[David]

Like, we have to keep chalking it up till we get to the fucking. The fucking diplomats or the president or whatever. Like, it's just like, it doesn't make. It doesn't make sense. Like, that's like. It's like, that's not the situation. The situation is. Then and there, right in that moment, how do I get to the front of the line? Oh, $25 a person will get me to skip 600 people. I think that is a no fucking brain.

[Jay]

Did your friends Venmo, you the 25?

[David]

No, obviously not.

[Jay]

Right?

[David]

If it was any other sit situation, though, like, yeah, 25 a person to make your flight is insane. Is it saying agreed? It's insane. And for me, the hundred dollars was worth it because the extra time I had by skipping that line, I got to go buy Qdoba. And we don't have Qdoba anywhere near me. So it was worth paying an extra hundred dollars just for a burrito alone.

[Jay]

Brother, brother, let me pose it to you this way.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Some. You go into a restaurant and they go, it's. It's $200 to eat. You go, okay, I'll. I'll eat for $200 because I have to eat. And then they sit you down at the table and they go. And you go, hey, where's the food, man? Where's the food at? Oh, yeah, yeah. There's. There's no food. There's no food. But for another hundred dollars, I'll bring the food out. That's fucked, and you know it. And I just fucking trumped you on that argument.

[David]

That is so fucked. There is food.

[Jay]

That is so fucked, David.

[David]

There is.

[Jay]

They.

[David]

Wait, Jay, stop. Why are you yelling? There is food. There's just a lot of other people ahead of you.

[Natalie]

Yeah, they're really busy today.

[Jay]

No, they should have figured out some way to sit there and charge me $200. $400 and I'm still not through. That's crazy. There should have been. There should be a system in place,

[David]

but time out, time out, time out.

[Jay]

TSA airport security should have a system in place of something of like, okay, let's get these people through so they can make their flight.

[David]

When you say 400 or 200, whatever, you're adding your annual membership in that?

[Jay]

No, I'm adding what Naveen paid and what I paid. So hers was 159. Mine was 159. And then I had to pay another hundred dollars. Great.

[David]

So you guys now both have annual memberships to clear.

[Jay]

Which I. Yeah, which I don't need because I have tsa, right?

[David]

I don't think so.

[Jay]

I mean, I think my analogy is pretty good.

[David]

Also. There was also. The line we were in was also tsa, so you could have gotten away.

[Jay]

Oh, did you catch that?

[David]

Yes.

[Jay]

Did you catch that moment? So we're. It happened to Ilya. And it happened to me. We get up to the front of the line, and it's TSA. He goes, TSA or PreCheck? And I go, I'm both. And he goes, oh, we're just taking tsa. And I go, but I'm tsa. And they go, but you have pre check. And I go, because you just fucking forced me to sign up for pre check for clear.

[David]

That same moment happened with me, was in the clear line. I just signed up for clear. The business line opened up to the left of me, and there was nobody there. And I was like. And I was like, business. And they were like, yes, but you're in clear. I'm like, no, no, but I'm also in business. They're like, then you wouldn't be in clear.

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah.

[David]

And I was like, no, I'm actually all three. I'm everything, gsa, business, clear. And I'm about to pay the extra hundred for clear pro.

[Jay]

Yeah. Well, anyway, yeah, it was just.

[David]

I mean, we're. I'm just chalking it up as there was a government shutdown, and it was. It was tough to get through. That was a really long winded way of saying the lines were long.

[Natalie]

Oh, should you get to the airport early?

[Jay]

I have something. We had something really good happen for this podcast. I'm not gonna say what it was. I wrote you both a text, said, hey, guys, really excited. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I did. I am, like, really excited to get this started. I love you guys so much. Thank you so much for doing the pod. Neither of you responded. Neither. Nothing. Absolutely. And. And I was. And I was talking to my friend about it, and I was like, yeah, maybe I should send a text. And then they were like, yeah, send a text. I'm like, yeah, but then if they don't respond, I'm gonna feel like shit. And my friend was like, well, if they don't respond, then at least you sent it. And you know. And I go. I go, I know they're not gonna respond.

[David]

I genuinely didn't see this.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Sorry, Jay.

[Natalie]

Damn, that's crazy.

[Jay]

That's cold.

[David]

I'm actually not good at. I. This is like. I'm not gonna. Group chats.

[Jay]

What do you mean you're not good at group chats?

[David]

I don't know. Like, last month, I've just been. It's a cop out, but it's. You know, I'm sorry.

[Natalie]

Oh, I was violently hungover. Like, violent.

[David]

Check what you did the day before.

[Natalie]

I was. Yeah, I was in Arizona at bottle.

[David]

You said at 10:51am this is like peak sleep for me. This is like when I'm in REM sleep.

[Jay]

Oh, that's a bad time. What's a good time?

[Natalie]

Like, like a 2:00pm would be perfect.

[David]

Nice text. Yeah. 2:00pm 2:00pm next time.

[Jay]

Yeah, just my fault.

[Natalie]

Try better next time.

[Jay]

Yeah, it's my fault at the time I said, it's also my fault that I spent 400 to get through security. I'm the.

[David]

I guess, I don't know. I, I, I just think, like, Yeah, I just think the security situation right now, TSA is one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen. Like, people are lining up outside the airport, like hours, hours, hours, hours.

[Jay]

People are losing their minds.

[David]

Can we talk about the Oscars? This is the first year, I think, in my life that I've missed them.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Not watched.

[Jay]

Yeah. We couldn't get into Hulu in Brazil, so.

[Natalie]

Oh, really?

[Jay]

Yeah. Then we missed it. But we did. We watched clips on YouTube. So we watched it in chunks, which was kind of good because it, it cut out all the bad stuff.

[David]

I saw the craziest part. I saw I suck. Conan o' Brien is like one of my favorite people of all time. I think he's like the best late night host ever.

[Jay]

I agree.

[David]

And which I was really bummed I missed it. There's a crazy joke. This is the first joke that I've actually, like, really liked that is in the vein of this. You know, like every year the person will try to make a joke about, like, connecting to the youth. And Conan did the same thing and they like, used a bunch of like, terms that like kids would use, but at the same time on the screen they put up one of those, like, train chasing games, like those iPhone games. Like, you know when you're watching a tick tock and there's like something being explained, but right under it is like some stupid iPhone game.

[Jay]

Just keep your attention or something.

[David]

Yeah. Even, Even dumber than that.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

But yeah, so they had that on the Oscar screen, which I thought was crazy.

[Jay]

What?

[David]

Yeah. And then there was also another moment where they turned to Leo and they were like, let's make another meme out of Leo.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Because there's so many memes of him. And they made a meme of Lemo. I thought that was fucking. That's such a good idea.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

So cool. And then at the end of the Oscars, there was a post credit scene where they basically replace Conan O' Brien as the host.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

And they make Mr. Beast, the next host.

[Natalie]

Oh.

[David]

And then Mr. Beast. So it's like, it's a, it was a nod to one battle after another.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

But basically like, you know, on the door, like if you're a businessman, it says your name like on a steel plate. They slid out Conan O' Brien's name and they put Mr. And they put Mr. Beast in. And then the Oscars ended.

[Natalie]

Oh, that's really interesting.

[David]

How fucking crazy. Like, does that not show you? Like, like I know they're, I know they're still kind of like kidding for sure. I still don't think they can accept it all in. Not accept it. But like. No. Yeah.

[Jay]

They are kidding, right?

[David]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

But they're touching on the reality of the fact that like it is, this is happening.

[Jay]

Oh my.

[David]

It, it is all like. It's not to me when I look at that joke of them like joking about Mr. Beast being the next host.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

It doesn't even read to me like they're making fun of him at all anymore. It's almost now reads to me as old people being like, oh like on their way out. That's how it reads to me now. When before it would been like, haha,

[Jay]

I see your point.

[David]

Do you know what I mean?

[Jay]

I see your point. It's like that is a reality. It's, it's a, it's a joke that probably might come true.

[David]

Yeah. It all, it feels like now it's coming from like a more real place. Like, even though it's like, like, like the, the 60, 70 year old actors never have to accept that because who cares, right? They're on their way, they've done their thing. Nobody has to accept the fact that like social media is such a new part of the world. Like, because it's just, it's a waste of time for people that are older. But it is like so interesting. Like even the people that were hosting like the Vanity Fair carpet was like Quinn, Jake, Brittany Broski, like all these, like that's who's hosting the carpet.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Like there was a, there was a moment where. Fuck. Quinn and Jake were interviewing Emma Chamberlain. I thought that was so crazy. Right? Like Emma Chamberlain was at there as a guest.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David]

And then Quinn and Jake from the Internet were interviewing her. Like I just think that was, I think that was so cool. I was like, what a way of like everything mixing and I feel like

[Jay]

everything too is, is becoming. The world is like so wild that Mr. Beast could be the host next year.

[Natalie]

Yeah, that's right.

[David]

I think he 100% like, honestly, could. I mean, will he be the host? Probably not. But, like, will there be a Mr. Beast segment? Like, that's, like, so normal. That's so normal. Especially because every. Every actor's kids, if they have kids, know, watch Mr. Beast. You know what I mean? So it wouldn't even be, like, out of place almost. It'll just be like, here's the new age entertainment.

[Jay]

I think that is interesting too, like, in terms of, like, the award show and people were upset that Timothee Chalamet didn't win or whatever, or he got shut out. And that's just simple, like, old guard, new guard. That's all it is.

[David]

What's the median age of 61?

[Jay]

The median age for an Oscar voter is 61 years old.

[David]

Wow.

[Natalie]

That's actually really wild.

[David]

And there's like 10,000 people in the Academy, right?

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah.

[David]

And the median age is 61.

[Jay]

Yeah. But, you know, the young people always got. Always have gotten shut out. I wonder how historically, like, Leo got shut out when he was younger. He didn't win it till he was, like, 40, I think. You know, it's just, like. It's just the way it is.

[David]

I wonder how many. Yeah.

[Jay]

What I think is interesting is how

[David]

do you, like, how do you not vote? Your friends?

[Jay]

What do you mean?

[David]

Like, yeah, how do you not vote

[Jay]

for your buddy Michael Jordan? Michael B. Jordan?

[David]

Yeah. Like, how do you, like. I totally get why.

[Jay]

I could see that.

[David]

I totally get why DiCaprio's being shut out against, like, a. I don't know. Who is he against Marlon Brando or who is. Who is. Who's against him?

[Jay]

At the time, I don't. I would. I don't know, but it was probably like, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jude Law, people like that, right?

[David]

I don't remember exactly, but, like. Yeah, yeah, but.

[Jay]

But there you, you, you. There is a thing.

[David]

If you're older, half of those 10,000 people are your peers.

[Jay]

Yes. And I also think what's interesting is, like, that. That idea of, like, how Chalamet was so, like, I'm gonna promote and I'm gonna get out there and, like, do everything I can for this movie. And what a lot of people said was, like, as people who think of themselves as, like, movie buffs or artists or whatever, they're like, that turns them off.

[David]

Oh. I thought what Timothy did with promoting Marty supreme was one of the best things I've ever seen.

[Jay]

I thought it was great, too. I thought it was great too. But I do think that it's a It's. It's a. It's a change in, like, how people do things. Like, people.

[David]

Yeah. Like, they didn't like it just.

[Ferris]

Cause it wasn't.

[Jay]

You wouldn't do an Oscar campaign where you're like, so I want this.

[Natalie]

Mm.

[Jay]

You know what I mean?

[David]

Yeah. No, it's definitely being. It's definitely different. Do you think there's ever gonna be a year where there's YouTube videos as an Oscar?

[Natalie]

I'm sure there will be. I don't know if it's anytime soon. I think they're gonna have to introduce some new categories. Right. They're gonna have to evolve, like, a little bit.

[David]

Did you see that short film Tied? I've never seen that happen in my life.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah. There was a toddler.

[David]

Two people won an Oscar.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

I've seen a tie before in an

[David]

award show, which is also, like. So I've seen a tie in the. Have you seen that video?

[Jay]

No.

[David]

It's like two runners or something finished at the exact same time. And one of the runners is like, can we just both get gold? And the guy's like, well, yes, if you guys both agree to it. And then the guy standing right next to him, he's like, yes. Yeah. Yeah, I'll take a gold. And then they both celebrated the gold from different countries.

[Jay]

What. What sport was it?

[David]

There's something on track.

[Jay]

What?

[David]

Yeah, it was a tie. Yeah. It's crazy. And then they're both celebrating the goal. Like, that's. That's, like, the coolest thing ever.

[Jay]

Yeah, that is cool.

[David]

The next place we're going to is Bali. I think we're going there in a week. Then we stopped traveling for a little bit, which I'm really excited about.

[Jay]

That's good.

[David]

This. Does this trip not feel, like so long?

[Jay]

No, it did kind of feel long.

[David]

It felt like we were gone for a long fucking time, I think, because

[Natalie]

we, like, experienced a different climate. I don't know. Like, just walking back into the house today, like, felt like, oh, my God. We've. It felt like when we went away for, like, a month, you know?

[David]

Totally. It felt like that from Monday to Monday. Yeah.

[Jay]

Monday to Tuesday.

[Natalie]

Monday to Tuesday.

[David]

And then we're going to Bali again for a week. This time it's a smaller group of us, so I'm excited about that. So if anybody has any suggestions, please let us know. And I don't mean, like, suggestions. When I ever. When I asked for suggestions ever, like, not like, waterfalls and stuff. I'm talking about, like, is there a guy in Bali that has like the world's longest toenail or like you keep

[Natalie]

saying this and nobody.

[Jay]

It's right here, man. Look across the couch.

[David]
