Key Discussion Points

1. Miami Recap: Nightlife, Strip Clubs, and Natalie's Party Power

• David's surprising decision: David reveals he skipped the strip club (unusual for him), instead opting for a quiet night in Miami—an apparent sign of personal evolution.
• Natalie’s wild night out: Natalie, Jay, and a whole influencer crew attended the famous Miami club, 11, with Natalie unexpectedly emerging as the host and "baller" of the evening.
  • “Natalie got there and she just took the reins. She got her own table. Everyone came to her table and controlled like she was the big baller.” – Jay [04:16]
• Strip club FOMO: David reflects on missing out on what would have been 'prime time' content for his vlog but acknowledges it allowed Natalie to shine independently.

Notable moment:
Jason compares David’s presence killing the vibe to walking into a Boston Papa John's:

"If I go into a Papa John's in Boston with you, it's gonna be way different than if I go into the Papa John's without you... I go in with you, no one cares that I'm there at all." – Jason [06:27]

[00:07–09:28]

The group jokes about their differing attitudes toward partying, Natalie’s accidental leadership, and a wild night with complete VIP service, all orchestrated through friendly connections rather than Love Island stars.

2. Miami: Halloween, Everglades, and Painful Mosquito Bites

• Family-friendly Halloween: David and Natalie attend a Miami Halloween party and meet an F1 champion and his F2-driving son, learning about the shockingly high cost of racing (up to $5 million/year for F2).
  • “His mom goes, it's four to five million dollars a year for a son to do F2. Isn't that crazy?” – David [09:54]
• Car talk: David feels cool for noting analog dashboards are more timeless in cars, like a Patek vs. an Apple Watch.
  • “I think that it's cooler when your car is analog, especially in hypercars and supercars, because it's more timeless.” – David [11:11]
• Everglades excursion:
  David and Natalie explore the Florida Everglades at night with a snake-catching content creator, leading to Jay suffering 100+ mosquito bites.
  • “It looks like I have like a ring of like 30 of them like on my ass cheeks.” – Jay [13:07]

[09:29–15:16]

Winding through the woes of mosquito bites, talk turns to Halloween costumes and Miami’s lively scene with Natalie planning to be Wonder Woman, despite her “ring of bites.”

3. Celebrity Encounters & Miami Glam

[17:30–22:16]

---

5. Miami Hotels and Diva Habits

• Room upgrades: David details his (and Natalie’s) love for personally touring hotel rooms before committing—sometimes viewing $30–40k upgrades just for fun. They ultimately prefer cozy, wood-filled rooms over Miami’s cold, glossy penthouses.

6. Movie Musings

• Hidden Figures:
  David shares his affection for the film "Hidden Figures," the importance of representation, and his encounter with Octavia Spencer.

7. Technology in Film: VFX and IMAX

• VFX ‘egg’: Jason describes a cutting-edge VFX technology—a chair surrounded by cameras for on-the-fly ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement).
• IMAX camera trivia: Fascinating discussion about the need for post-dubbing because IMAX cameras are so loud on set.
  • “How can you possibly match the audio perfectly? Especially on such a big screen where everybody's watching it like so intensely. That blows my mind.” – David [33:41]

[31:03–34:03]

---

8. Pop Culture: Origin Stories & Modern Fame

• Scorsese, Cobain, and the changing landscape:
  The hosts reflect on old vs. new “origin stories,” how the classic ‘discovered out of nowhere’ is replaced by social media virality, and the cyclical nature of pop culture.
  • “There will be a new...renaissance of culture, of film. We just have to adjust.” – David [37:34]

[35:07–37:50]

---

9. Humble Beginnings, Paparazzi, and Sweet Revenge

• YouTuber stigma: David recounts being dismissed by a paparazzo early in his career, only to later be photographed by the same man after becoming famous.
  • “I loved when people would mock us as YouTubers...If my YouTube videos ever become successful, this guy is going to eat his words.” – David [39:13]
• The payoff: When the moment finally comes, David finds it underwhelming and realizes revenge isn’t as satisfying as imagined.
  • “It's like revenge from a cartoon...That’s not realistic.” – Natalie [40:53]

[39:08–42:47]

---

10. Pop Culture Odds & Ends

• Recommendation corner: The group excitedly discusses new documentaries (Scorsese, "Cocaine Quarterback," "Chad Powers"), sharing admiration for actors like Glenn Powell and their own strange celebrity encounters—David’s “peeing next to Chris Evans” story among them.
  • “I peed next to some of the coolest people in the world. My favorite, I think, is Chris Evans...” – David [44:55]

[Jason]

Views.

[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. Natalie and I are back from Miami. Jason is here joining us. Jay, guess who didn't go to the strip club?

[Jason]

Natalie.

[David Dobrik]

No, me. She actually did go.

[Jason]

David, I am so proud of you for not going to the strip club. You absolute legend. Feminist warrior.

[David Dobrik]

No, Yeah, I mean, I've had enough.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Two.

[David Dobrik]

Two different nights we were proposed with going to the strip club.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I just shot it down. I've never done this, I think actually probably in my life. I've never been on this side of not wanting to go out.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

I've never seen David actually, like, truly Irish exit and like, say that he would, like. He made sure everyone. He was like, I'm not going out. Go out tomorrow.

[David Dobrik]

And Natalie thought I was just saying that for some attention. And I thought I was saying it for attention too, until I was like, wait, I actually don't want to go out. And I left at 9pm did you.

[Jason]

Get any attention right after?

[David Dobrik]

I got enough attention where I was like, I think I'm for the night.

[Natalie]

I think enough people are battling for me to come.

[Jason]

They said, please.

[Natalie]

They were like, no, dude, come on, come on.

[Jason]

When are you in Miami?

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exact. That's literally all that. But I was like, guys, I can. I can't. Okay, pull my leg a little more.

[Jason]

And did you go Nat?

[Jay]

Of course. Oh, yeah. I held it down. I brought everyone to 11. It was so much fun.

[Natalie]

Well, not only that, but Natalie calls me at 3:00am oh, no.

[Jason]

Oh.

[Natalie]

Can I just say what you said? Or should I not say what you said?

[Jay]

No, I won't say what you said. I don't even remember what I said. I fully had this. Also, I recorded a video. I must have FaceTimed with you. When I got back to my hotel room, I was very drunk.

[Natalie]

I left for three in the morning and I just woke up from sleeping.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Cause I went to bed at like 9:30. I probably fell asleep. I was really tired. And then I woke up at around 3, which was conveniently when Natalie was calling.

[Jay]

And I must have recorded a video after I hung up on the FaceTime with you. And I was in my bathroom just like recording something for Snap or whatever. Just like updating on my night.

[Jason]

And.

[Jay]

And I don't remember recording that video.

[Jason]

And.

[Jay]

And my sister uploads my snaps for me. So I saw it the next day on my thing and I was just like. I met a bull. Like, I was like all over my snaps.

[Natalie]

What the fuck? You could get away with talking about some shit like that here on the pod.

[David Dobrik]

But you put that on your own personal page.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay]

I mean, it wasn't anything that bad. It was just like, if he saw that, I would be like, oh, that's, like, so cringey. Yeah.

[Jason]

What'd you say?

[David Dobrik]

So funny. So she met a guy.

[Jason]

Yeah, she.

[David Dobrik]

She calls me a three.

[Natalie]

I didn't say that.

[Jason]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

She was drunk. She was drunk. She was drunk. She's drunk, so she's coming off of it.

[Jay]

I'm scared for myself.

[Natalie]

But I. I know the guy. He's really nice guy. I met him, actually, for the first time, too. But, like, this is the worst night to ever miss out on going out because Natalie was making out with some dude all night. Like, that's crazy.

[Jason]

Yeah, that's David Prime Time.

[Natalie]

That's David Prime Time for sure.

[Jason]

Filming or not filming, It's David Prime Time.

[Natalie]

That's so funny. I didn't even think about it in, like, a filming way. Like, I didn't even think about it for the vlog. I was just generally, like, I missed out on, like, a good night of, like, Natalie meeting someone.

[Jason]

Right.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I actually.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I'm 50.

[Natalie]

50 on Natalie meeting people out because, like. Cause I do like it. But then on the other side, like, Natalie is. She is the leader of the group. Like, let me tell you. Okay, so we were at. We were at. We went with Celsius.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Natalie]

To my. To Miami. They had this, like, big, like. Like influencer launch, like, at this beautiful hotel. It was incredible.

[Jason]

Great.

[Natalie]

And after, everyone's, like, kind of gathering. There's like 40 or 50 of us, right?

[Jay]

There's like, they brought 50 people. It was a hu.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And they're all on the rooftop, and they're like, where are we going next? And then Natalie overhears three of the guys. Three guys from Love Island.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

They're like, okay, I think we're gonna go to 11.

[Jay]

And I'm not a part of this conversation at all.

[Natalie]

Not a part of it at all. But then we're talking to other people, and Natalie starts telling everybody. She's like, hey, I think we're going to 11. I'm like, man, you can't tell people that because you just eavesdropped on a conversation. Like, they're doing that. They haven't even invited us to it. So, like, yeah, Natalie was definitely not.

[David Dobrik]

Included in what was going on. So then we got to the point where we are going to 11 at this point.

[Natalie]

Cause Natalie has told everybody, but we're like. So then we were like, well, how do we get to like, how do we get tables? Blah, blah, blah.

[David Dobrik]

And Natalie was like, let me just.

[Natalie]

Go talk to the Love island guys. We'll join their table. So that's what I thought they were doing.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And then Natalie got there and she just took the reins. She got her own table. Everyone came to her table and controlled like she was the big baller.

[Jason]

No way.

[Jay]

Everyone was so confused. Everyone was like, oh, we're going with the Love island guys. But they were taking so long. And I was like, I want to go now.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And because they were going to go for like another hour, they were having like a fun little pregame or whatever. And so I just texted this guy that I know and shout out to him because he always hooks me up at 11. He's amazing. And he was like, of course. And like, he sent out this whole text. He was like, VIP Natalie Noel is coming in. And they like did this whole thing. They got us like this whole section. It was so much fun.

[David Dobrik]

Like, complete bottle service.

[Jay]

Everything was comp to 100.

[David Dobrik]

Everything was a ton of bottles.

[Jay]

Whatever I wanted. Like, it's crazy.

[David Dobrik]

And then the guy she was into at the time was like, please let me like, at least split this with you. And she's just like, no, no, no, don't worry, it's free. And he go. And what did he say?

[Jay]

He was just like, I don't remember what he said, but he was just like, oh, that's how this works for you or something.

[David Dobrik]

But it's funny. Cause Natalie ended up like, treating everybody and like she kind of became the corraler.

[Jay]

And everybody felt so bad. They were like. Cause I just kept ordering more bottles. And they were like, just let it. Like, can I just get one? Like, you know, whatever. And I was like, it.

[David Dobrik]

Really funny is the best. Yeah. So that's why I'm bummed that I missed it. But like. But like sometimes like.

[Jason]

But it wouldn't have been Natalie's table if you were there.

[Natalie]

Exactly.

[Jay]

Yeah, it definitely is. Like, it's funny.

[Natalie]

Like, Exactly.

[David Dobrik]

And that's why I was like. Like right when I heard about it, I was like, damn. It's probably because I wasn't there.

[Jason]

Yeah, of course.

[Jay]

The vibe is so different.

[David Dobrik]

Vibe is so different.

[Jason]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Which sucks.

[Jason]

Did you enjoy? Did you know Enjoy? Yeah, that is. That does suck for you. You.

[Jay]

Sorry.

[Jason]

You can't.

[Ad Read Voice]

You could never.

[Jason]

You can never be that by you being somewhere, it ruins the vibe.

[Jay]

It changes the vibe.

[Jason]

There's nothing you can do about it.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's something.

[Natalie]

Why is that?

[David Dobrik]

It's.

[Jay]

It's your aura, bro. It's just so big.

[Jason]

It's because of who you are, that's all.

[David Dobrik]

Because, like. Because, like, do you think you would have made out with this guy and had such an.

[Jay]

Definitely not. I mean, not definitely not.

[Natalie]

I don't know, but I think you would have. But it would have been.

[David Dobrik]

Would have taken way longer.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And would have been way less cute, for sure.

[Jason]

It's like, if I go into a Papa John's in Boston with you, it's gonna be way different than if I go into the Papa John's without you. I go into the Papa John's like, hey, Jason, maybe I'm getting some free pizzas, feeling pretty good about myself. I go in with you, no one cares that I'm there at all. Okay.

[Natalie]

Right.

[Jason]

Did you. Did you feel good being the baller for the night?

[Jay]

Yeah, I was having so much fun.

[Jason]

That's cool.

[Jay]

And we. I. We brought out there was another influencer on the trip. She's. She's a mom. She's like, yeah, I don't know how old she is, but she's a mom. She's got two kids, and she.

[Jason]

Two kids are with her at 11.

[Jay]

No, no, no, no. The kids are at home. But she was like. She was at the pre game, and she was like, are you guys going out? And I never thought. I watch her content. Like, she makes really great content with her family, and I never thought she would, like, want to. I'm like, we're going to 11. Like, I don't know. She's like, what's that? And I was explaining it to her.

[David Dobrik]

That's amazing when someone doesn't know what that fucking club is.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, for people listening, I guess. We haven't even said it. Eleven is a nightclub in Miami. It's open 24. It's over 24 hours, at least on the weekend. At least on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And there's more. There's more strippers there than there are attendees. Attendees. Like, so it is like. It is. You'll see Tiktoks. Like, if you're a guy and you ever want to feel good about yourself, you go to 11 because you are turning girls down left and right.

[Natalie]

It is.

[David Dobrik]

It is like. It's like you're.

[Natalie]

It's like you're a regular woman walking down the streets of New York and everybody's just a construction worker. Like, it's like, it's crazy. It's girls clawing a you. Come on, baby.

[Jason]

Come on.

[Natalie]

And you're like, please, please, not tonight.

[Jason]

Not tonight. Maybe in a little bit.

[Natalie]

Yeah, it does.

[Jason]

It is.

[David Dobrik]

It is a true ego boost. Okay.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So you took this mom there?

[Jay]

Yeah, we took. We took her there. She was like, I'll come. And I was like, okay, great. And so we go and like, her and I are like dancing on the table. And like, she wasn't getting like, wasted or anything, but it was just like, so fun. Like, I just love having that. Like, just different personalities and people.

[Natalie]

So she had the best night of her life, basically, long story short. And I.

[Jason]

And what were you. What were you doing?

[Natalie]

Well, it does sound like I went to go, like, hook up with some girl or something to sound awful.

[Jay]

You had a little late night postmate delivery?

[Jason]

Something like that. Really?

[Natalie]

Well, because I heard.

[Jason]

I think it was.

[Natalie]

No, because when I was saying that I went to bed at 9 and then magically woke up at 3. That just sounds like the most like, booty call ever. But no, I truly. I was coming off from my sickness. You know how I was sick last part, and I was just like, I'm not going to risk it. Oh, I was. I was on my last day of antibiotics too. So I was like, I'm not going to ruin this. I'm going to stay home. Three. Three doctor. Like three different doctors DM me about the antibiotics.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

On. Yeah.

[Jason]

From the last pod.

[Natalie]

And they said, please, for the love of God, don't ever speak about antibiotics ever again. I love listening to the pod, but stop talking about it.

[Jason]

Why? Because it's bad to take them.

[Natalie]

I think people have different opinions on them and I was like, pretty much glorifying them. So I like, I don't obviously don't take any medical advice from me, but. Yeah.

[Jason]

Are you still getting a buzz from the last batch?

[Natalie]

No, no, but I feel healthy.

[Jason]

You feel good.

[Natalie]

Here I am promoting them again. Well, you need a batch. I have a new batch that I'm on right now.

[David Dobrik]

But. But yeah.

[Jason]

And then what else did you do in Miami? Miami was Halloween party.

[David Dobrik]

We went to. What?

[Jason]

You had a Halloween party?

[David Dobrik]

We went to a Halloween party. So our friends had a Halloween party. And it's like more of like a family Halloween party. Like, it wasn't like, it wasn't like, let's all go to 11 afterwards. And it was so fun. It was such a good vibe.

[Jason]

That's fun.

[David Dobrik]

So I met this guy there. His. I met the guy, he's an F1 champion. World champion. He's won F1 twice.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And his son is now in F2, and. Which is Formula 2. Right. So it's one right below F1. And I was talking to him all about. Just about. About racing. And I was like, well, are you going to go into F1? He's like, I really want to. It's all really expensive. And I'm like, okay, I understand. It's expensive. Like, how much does F2 cost you? So F1 has about 20 drivers. F2 also has about 20 drivers. And his parents were there. His dad's a champion. His mom's there. And his mom goes, it's four to five million dollars a year for a son to do F2. Isn't that crazy? Because you're thinking about.

[Jason]

Your transit is a step below F1.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay, so you're like, he's 18, so you're transporting the car, the whole team. The car breaks down, you hit something like four to five million dollars a year is no joke. And I assume it's harder to get sponsors when you're in F2, but, yeah, he basically said, like, it's a. You know, it's a tough sport. And. Yeah.

[Jason]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

And his dad works on cars. And I was like, I was. I. I had, like, a really cool car note that, like, I. I'm not really a car guy, but I said one car thing that made me feel really cool.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, I. I was. He. I was talking about what. What makes, like. What makes, like, an exotic car really cool. And I was like, it's cooler when they have analog screens, like, you know.

[Natalie]

When you have your dash.

[David Dobrik]

And, like, a lot of cars now are all digital. I think that it's cooler when your car is analog, especially in hypercars and supercars, because it's more timeless. It's like a Patek as opposed to.

[Natalie]

An Apple watch, Right?

[David Dobrik]

Like, will an Apple watch be cool in 15 years?

[Natalie]

Absolutely not. It'll be outdated, as will your dash. Digital dash on a car.

[David Dobrik]

But, like, will your Patek or your Rolex or your analog clock be cool? Yes, because it'll be vintage, and it'll still be operational completely as it's going to say. So I told him that, and he.

[Natalie]

Like, pointed to me and Hasan, he goes, you.

[David Dobrik]

You.

[Natalie]

You get it. You get it? And I was like, yeah, I do. It's like, the only thing I know about cars that I. That I think is, like, a hot take that, like, people would agree with. So that made me feel really good. But yeah, it was really fun. I had a good time in Miami. And we didn't overdo it, which was like we went to the Everglades, see crocodiles, saw crocodiles, saw snakes. Natalie got fucking like almost like some really scary disease she may have now from all these mosquitoes.

[Jay]

I have like over 100 mosquito bites on my body right now.

[Jason]

Oh, no. And you didn't get bit at all?

[Jay]

He did, but he was wearing like a short sleeve shirt too.

[Jason]

I think it's weird. Sometimes mosquitoes go for different people.

[Jay]

No, I like had my flashlight. Cuz we were out there like in the middle of the night and I had my flashlight and I like would turn it to myself sometimes.

[Jason]

You took a night tour?

[Jay]

It wasn't a tour. It was like we.

[Natalie]

We just drove into the Everglades at night like looking for. Looking for things. It'll be in. It'll be in the next vlog, I think. I don't know how it'll cut together because. Yeah, but like. Yeah, there's a. Yeah, but I would.

[Jay]

I took my flashlight and I would like just look down at my body and there would be like, literally I could see 80 of them just swarming my legs.

[Natalie]

It was wild how many mosquitoes there were. Crazy Nelly thought she had like Ben Gay fever.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Well, somebody told me like if you get bit too many times, you could have like dengue or something. And I was like freaking out or like malaria. I don't know.

[Natalie]

I just kept. Yeah, I kept. But like it was.

[David Dobrik]

It's crazy.

[Natalie]

And she said for Halloween she's obviously wearing something where her ass is out.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

She's like, this is gonna be really toug for me because.

[Jay]

Oh, it looks like I have like a ring of like 30 of them like on my ass cheeks.

[Jason]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Wait, what? What's your Halloween costume?

[Jay]

I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be Wonder Woman. So it's like a corset.

[Natalie]

She's a slutty mosquito.

[David Dobrik]

Oh.

[Natalie]

Wonder Woman.

[Jason]

Yeah, Wonder Woman with her butt cheeks out.

[Jay]

Well, it's like the retro Wonder Woman. So she has like these like high waisted, like.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Jay]

You know, cut out.

[Jason]

Yes, yes.

[Natalie]

Wonder Woman's so funny for Natalie because it's like I'm going to be looking for her obviously like every 10 minutes at the party because something's always going wrong. Just like a funny. It's like a funny person to look for.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Have we seen Wonder Woman?

[Jason]

Especially when something isn't going right.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Natalie she's zipping down the stairs, her cape's blowing.

[David Dobrik]

That's funny. No, but overall, it was really good.

[Natalie]

We went. We hung out with Steve Aoki, which is really fun.

[Jason]

Oh, at the club or on land?

[Natalie]

Actually, on water.

[Jason]

On water.

[Natalie]

So our buddy owns, like, a festival, and he's.

[Jay]

Clubs.

[Natalie]

Clubs. Manages a big artist.

[Jason]

Great.

[Natalie]

So I went to his house for lunch, and Steve came by, like, one of the nicest guys. He holds the record for most amount of shows in a year.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And that's 160 shows in one year.

[Jason]

Wow.

[Natalie]

But he's saying they only recorded 160 for the Guinness World Record. But he actually did 300 that year. 300 shows in one year. And that crazy. So, like that. So that day we saw him, it was. I got, like, a real taste of the Miami lifestyle because we. So we are at my friend's house.

[Jason]

What do you serve for lunch? Huh? What do you serve for lunch?

[Jay]

Chicken skewers.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

It was incredible. We had three chefs there making, like, incredible food. Any beverage you want. When you were done with your water, it's like the next thing would come out. All beverages he's invested in. So it's like, yeah, it was really incredible. And to leave to go to his beach club. He is like a. He is like a club on the water. And we went to his backyard, and from his backyard, we stepped onto his boat and we zipped down like the Miami waters. And we were nothing better than that. And we docked up to his. To his club that was eight minutes away. And, like, the dock only goes. So you dock up at the dock, and the dock goes straight forward into the DJ booth.

[Jason]

Wow.

[Natalie]

Straight from the boat with Steve Aoki into the booth. And then Steve's done. Comes right backwards.

[Jason]

The people were already there waiting.

[Natalie]

Everybody was already there. They're all recording.

[Jason]

Steve getting daytime or nighttime?

[Natalie]

Sunset.

[Jason]

Sunset.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

It's really. Wow.

[Jason]

That's really cool.

[Natalie]

It's really crazy. It's another day for Steve. I was like. I was talking to him all about the cakes, about the best kind of cakes he throws.

[David Dobrik]

And he. I was like.

[Natalie]

Because I. I, you know, you should.

[Jason]

Explain that to people. What does he do?

[David Dobrik]

So he has this bit basically, where he takes a cake and he throws it into the audience, and everyone is, like, honored to be hit by it. So everyone's bouncing up and down. They're like, steve, hit me with the cake. Hit me with the cake. And he has, like, probably 10 cakes a show.

[Jason]

Does he bring the cakes?

[Jay]

I've never seen it.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I doubt he's like. I doubt he's going to, like, Kroger or Julasco to pick up the cakes. I think they're already there.

[Jason]

Turn around.

[David Dobrik]

I forgot the cakes.

[Natalie]

But it.

[David Dobrik]

But it's so iconic that there was another girl on the boat with us. There's a small boat of, like, 20 people, and the girl was like, you actually kicked me back in 2003. So it's like. It's not like. It's not uncommon.

[Jason]

Of course, Sarah, I remember you.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, everybody knows about it, but I talked. I was. I was talking to Steve. He's so cool.

[Jay]

He's very chill.

[David Dobrik]

And guess what? His dad owns Benihana. Oh, his dad started Benihana. How fucking crazy is that?

[Jason]

Shrimp in the pocket.

[David Dobrik]

Every time I'm around a DJ, I'm like, you know, I actually started trying DJing.

[Jason]

What do they say?

[David Dobrik]

They're always like, Every DJ is so supportive of people DJing. Yeah, it's. No one's like. No one, like, tries to ignore it. They go, you really should. You'd be really good at it. Like, you just have to. And I told him. I was like, well, I would only play, like, basic music and, like, just like the pop 2000s or whatever. And he's like, you'd crush in Vegas. Like, you'd obliterate Vegas. I'm like, okay, yeah, maybe I will.

[Jason]

DJ Steve, what happened to you? We were gonna. You were gonna do that?

[Jay]

I bought him A whole DJ deck and everything.

[Jason]

I got a lesson with him.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah?

[Jason]

Yeah. I watched him take a lesson once.

[David Dobrik]

You know what I think I should do? I think I should do, like. I feel like I should do a vlog that's 100% around me being a DJ.

[Jason]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Like, start to finish. And I pick a DJ. Dylan Diplo, Zed, Chainsmoker, Steve Aoki, or even all of them.

[Natalie]

Oh, that's kind of cool. And go get lessons from all of them.

[Jason]

Damn, that'd be sick.

[Jay]

That would be really sick.

[Jason]

It's a vlog that would be made over a long time. Like, over a course of a year.

[Natalie]

Maybe, like two months.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And then, like, I dj, like, something really special.

[Jason]

I don't know. We were having trouble that day.

[David Dobrik]

What do you mean?

[Jason]

I remember, like, when I was learning how to DJ that first I watched. I watched the I teach you and we had to, like, hit the drop. Well, yeah, it was difficult. It was the most simple thing I told Steve.

[Natalie]

I said, I don't. I can't mix music. I don't know where beats align. And I don't know. The only thing I can do is I know I. I see music as a vibe. So I'm like, I can fucking fuck the shit out of an aux cord, like, in a car. Like, I know exactly what song belongs next. I know the song placement. Like, so. So here's an example of exactly why. Like, okay, so music in my videos, right? I'm always choosing the music in my videos, and I'm very particular about what song goes under what thing. But sometimes I'll have to chop up a song and I'll be like, okay, I need the chorus of the song here.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And I need the intro here, but. And I need the hook here. And I need something rearranged. And usually you could rearrange it. You can cut up the song and rearrange it. I know where the rearrangement needs to happen, but I can't actually physically hear where it properly is connecting. Like, where the. Where the beats match. So I always have to give the computer to my friend Joe. And Joe, in about 10 seconds, will make the beats align. But I don't have a. I don't have an ear for that.

[Jason]

But why can't you just match them up but by eye? Just like, beat, beat.

[David Dobrik]

Because sometimes it's not by sometimes. Like, sometimes one.

[Jason]

It's like a count.

[David Dobrik]

And also, yeah, sometimes one beat is corresponding to a different beat. Like, they're not exactly matching, even though it looks like on the line, it looks like they're matching. Yeah. So I'm really bad at that shit. So that is hurting my DJ dreams. But I don't know. I also don't think. I think there's this, like, big. I think this is. You know, there's a lot of celebrities that dj, like, people look down on it. I don't really see. I think I.

[Jason]

Do you really think they really look down on it?

[Jay]

I think people get, like, hyped. But, I mean, I know that there is, like, they're, like, not another influencer becoming a dj.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I think.

[Natalie]

I think.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's tough because there are a lot of people that, like, pursue it. Pursue it. Like, are training for 10 years. That's like, their passion. And then, like, a random DJ will come in.

[Jason]

The question is, is, would you want to be doing 180 shows a year? Like, Steve Aoki? Like, would you love it? You love being up there and like, yeah, let's go, let's go. Or would you get sick of it?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I think I'd have to do one, but I feel like it'd be like, if you're good at it, I can't imagine it being.

[Jay]

I'm sure it's, like, such a high.

[David Dobrik]

And I think Steve Aoki, why it's probably so fun for him is it's, like driving through your neighborhood for him. Like, it's, like, so familiar, right? Like, and, like, I'm sure he can read the crowd.

[Jason]

You mean when he takes the boat that is his neighborhood?

[David Dobrik]

Like, no, I think it's just, like, so familiar to him. Like, he knows exactly. Okay. This crowd's not reacting. I asked him. I was like. I was like, how often are you changing up your set? When. When we would go to Vegas with Dylan there, there would be moments where the football team would be coming in after winning the Super Bowl.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So he'd. So the club wouldn't even have to ask him at this point, but he'd know that he'd have to play more hip hop because that's what the football team would want to hear. So, like, that. Those types of adjustments I could not account for.

[Natalie]

I'd be like, oh, I only have ABBA here.

[David Dobrik]

And hauling Oates and somber. Yeah, somber. And a little bit of Bon Jovi. Like, that's what I got going on here. But, like, Steve is really good at that. Steve's like. He knows where he plays his stuff. Like, he plays his house music that he loves making in Taiwan. That's where he'll play it. That's where people really love it. But when he's in Vegas, he's playing, you know. Yeah, he's playing his Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana hopped out the planet lax. So, yeah, I think that's interesting. Maybe one day. That would be a fun video.

[Jay]

Be a really fun video. I love that idea.

[Jason]

And so you guys just were at the hotel having this great weekend, and then you were like, hey, let's just drive out to the Everglades at night where there's mosquitoes and crocodiles everywhere. Just the two of you?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, we went with. We went with like, this guy who's known to be like a snake.

[Jason]

Oh, you went with somebody who knows their way around?

[Jay]

Yes.

[Jason]

Oh, okay.

[Jay]

Like, they catch snakes.

[Jason]

Got you, got you. Got you.

[Jay]

As a part of their content.

[Jason]

Got it. Yeah, yeah.

[Jay]

And so we thought it'd be interesting, like, if he. He was like, oh, he's caught pythons and like big snakes out there. So we thought it'd be interesting to talk about.

[David Dobrik]

Let's go try to find. And it was really interesting. And it. Much better. It was a Friday night too, which old David would have never given up a Friday night to go to the Everglades.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But I was like. I was like, I've just. I've partied so much.

[Jay]

And it was a. It was a three hour drive out there.

[David Dobrik]

Ooh, three hours to the Everglades and an hour back.

[Jay]

Yeah, we just, like, we went during traffic. But it was a commitment for sure.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. But the best was on our way back. We stopped at cherries. We did it almost made me tear up. We get the triple dipper, and it's like you get mozzarella sticks that are just. Just like these big, thick.

[Jason]

Where'd you go? Chili's Chilies.

[David Dobrik]

These big, thick, wide mozzarella sticks.

[Jay]

Chili's is so like, I don't know, barbecue. I don't know if it's true now, because the triple dipper, I feel like, has really put them back, like, on the map. But I feel like Chili's is like such a slept on chain restaurant.

[David Dobrik]

Chili's deserves.

[Jason]

I haven't had chili's in like 20 years.

[David Dobrik]

No, they deserve all the love.

[Natalie]

Really.

[Jason]

So good.

[David Dobrik]

It's.

[Natalie]

I couldn't believe it, Jay.

[David Dobrik]

I've never almost been in tears. I don't know if it was cause really escaped the mosquitoes and the crocs.

[Jay]

No, the mozzarella sticks are kind of life changing. I'm not gonna lie. They're so good.

[David Dobrik]

It was a really big deal. But yeah, overall, Miami, incredible trip. Really fun. Flew back, noon. Was home by three. I don't know. It was pretty good. We were there for five days, but it felt. Felt just about right. I did this thing when I got to the hotel. I do this thing now everywhere. It's the most diva thing I do.

[Jason]

And I know what you should do. You go and look at hotel rooms.

[David Dobrik]

I go and look at rooms.

[Jay]

Oh, my God.

[Jason]

You did it with your mom.

[David Dobrik]

I did, yeah. Oh, I did.

[Jay]

I did it with my mom.

[David Dobrik]

And it's so diva ish, but it doesn't come off. Like, I do a pretty good way of, like, talking to the people at the front desk, where I have them.

[Natalie]

All, like, almost have them have the.

[David Dobrik]

Idea to show me.

[Jason]

Sure. I'll be the front desk. Good afternoon, Mr. Dobrik. Hi. Hi. How are you? We have you in the penthouse corner, right? Oh, amazing.

[David Dobrik]

Is there any way I could. Is there any way there's, like, an upgrade available or anything?

[Jason]

Yes, yes. Let me check. We have the penthouse west, and we have the penthouse east.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, two different views.

[Jason]

Two different views, two different sides.

[David Dobrik]

What's maximum litness, would you say?

[Jason]

Oh, geez. Boy, you're a funny one. I'd have to say they're all great.

[David Dobrik]

And the prices, are we talking very steep.

[Jason]

All the same prices? They're all priced the same.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, even tougher. This is a big decision.

[Jason]

You'll have to choose right now.

[David Dobrik]

I don't have to choose.

[Jason]

No, you'll have to. I have to put something in.

[David Dobrik]

You have to choose right now.

[Jason]

I had to get my key, so.

[Natalie]

Normally by now we're already at the elevator.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, normally she's like, let me. Let me go take you.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Pretty easy for them to show you tours of rooms.

[Jay]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

And I just love doing it, but. Yeah.

[Jason]

Did you do it in Miami?

[David Dobrik]

We did it in Miami. Showed us a room. It was like it was gonna be an extra $30,000 for our stay.

[Jay]

Ridiculous.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, okay, we should just see it.

[Jay]

And we were obviously not gonna do.

[Jason]

That just to see, though.

[Natalie]

Yeah, we weren't gonna do it.

[David Dobrik]

And. And I was so happy we saw.

[Natalie]

It because it was not the vibe.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Our rooms that we didn't even pay for because luckily the brand covered it so much better.

[Jason]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Because it's because Miami penthouses, for some reason, there's this fucking thing in Miami. They love their white, glossy floors. They are so obsessed with it. So this penthouse was your cliche. Miami white Floors. Everything in the penthouse is white porcelain. No carpets, just cold. And our rooms were like, wooden rugs, warmth, like extra pillows, extra blankets. Very cozy. And for. And saved us $40,000. So it was very nice.

[Jason]

I love those Miami hotels, though, that every. Every room has a view. Just a high rise. And it's angled perfectly to the water.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's. It really.

[Jason]

Even a regular room.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's really, really special.

[Jason]

So nice.

[David Dobrik]

But yeah. Then we came back. I watched Hidden Figures last night.

[Jason]

What is that?

[David Dobrik]

It's about these women who are, like, very vital. These three black women who are very vital to, like, the space program in the 60s.

[Jason]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

And it's one of my favorite movies I've been trying to get my roommates to watch.

[Jason]

Is it older?

[David Dobrik]

2,000? Like 14, 13.

[Jason]

Okay. Yeah. It's not new.

[David Dobrik]

It was. No, it's not new. It's with. Glenn Powell is actually in it.

[Jason]

Love Glenn Powell.

[David Dobrik]

He plays John Glenn, the first man in space. And they basically, these three black women helped them get there. Like, Octavia Spencer's in it. Yeah. Who's like an Oscar award winning, incredible woman who I completely forgot. I did. I did. Do you know I went on the Kelly Clarkson show?

[Jason]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

I did it with Octavia Spencer.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like she said, she sat next to me.

[Jason]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

And she was incredible. Like, one of the best, like, coolest people I've ever met.

[Jason]

Yeah? How so?

[David Dobrik]

She was just like, like the most motherly vibe ever. She's like, she told me where she lives. It's very close to me. She's like, if you ever want to come by for dinner, please, I'd love to have you.

[Jason]

You gotta go.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, no, I have her number. I didn't even. I was like, after I watched Hidden Figures, I looked up Octavia Spencer, my phone. I was like, oh, no way. I should totally hit her up for this.

[Jason]

You should text her 100%. Text her and say, hey, I'd love to go over for dinner.

[Natalie]

I really should.

[Jason]

Not for any other reason than, like, having community here. She did say that. The thing I loved about the Natalie story earlier about 11, was that I think that's one of the most endearing things about people. I absolutely love it. There's a few people in my life that do it, and they push their way in, and it's, like, charming. You know what I mean? The way Natalie, like, listened to and just invited herself. Like, I love when people invite themselves. Do you know what I'm saying?

[Natalie]

I think it works because Natalie's like a girl.

[Jason]

Some People can do it. Some people can't. Natalie can do it.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason]

Naveen's like that.

[Natalie]

Naveen will be like, naveen can also do it.

[Jason]

Naveen can do it. She'll just be like, what are we talking about? And then everyone's like, yeah, come on along. You know, like.

[Natalie]

But.

[Jason]

Whereas I'd be like, oh, no, no, don't bother them. But. But wait, what were you saying? Yeah, you should definitely.

[Natalie]

I think I'd be sick.

[Jason]

Definitely call her up and just be.

[Natalie]

Like, oh, yeah, I watched. I looked up my name with Octavia.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Because I wanted to see the Kelly Clarkson interview. And then apparently, I was on the Kelly Clarkson show another time from Zoom, which I didn't know. I didn't know. I did it twice.

[Jason]

Yeah, those don't count.

[Natalie]

But I did. Yeah, I did it again. And she was. We were talking about Octavia Spencer again. Yeah. And it was the story. I don't know if I've ever told it on a podcast, but it was like, we were at an Oscar party. Do you remember this? And we ran into Octavia Spencer, and she was standing next to all these, like, big celebs. Like, I'm talking, like, you know, Jon Hamm, Remy Malek, Leo. Like, all these guys in a circle.

[David Dobrik]

So I'm like, I'm gonna go talk.

[Natalie]

To her, because I know her. Whatever. Not now, David and I went over there, and it went great. Great. Like, Octavia was so excited to see me fucking the conversation, I crushed it.

[David Dobrik]

Everyone was smiling. Everyone was laughing.

[Natalie]

And then I was walking away, and Rami Malek actually was like, hey, can you. Can you come over here for a sec? And I'm like, no fucking way. Rami Malek. Hell, yeah. The guy from Bohemian Rhapsody.

[David Dobrik]

Like, this is a big deal.

[Natalie]

And he's like, your fly's open.

[Jay]

Oh, my God. Wait, that's. That's really funny.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

The smile just got wiped off my face internally. Obviously, I'm still smiling, like, playing it off.

[Jason]

Like.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I knew that.

[Natalie]

That's how Octavia likes it. Like, just trying to play it off.

[Jason]

As your flies open.

[Natalie]

Yeah, it's the worst. Especially when.

[Jason]

Is that a Queen song?

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason]

No, your fly is open.

[David Dobrik]

You look like an idiot. Like, you feel so cool when he's calling you over, and it's for that.

[Jason]

Hey, speaking of movies, I went to a VFX house on Friday and I saw something really cool that you would like. It's this guy developed this technology with David Fincher when they were doing the Social Network. And it's an egg. And basically they basically can put any actor, they take all the big actors and they put them in this egg, inside of it. Inside the egg.

[David Dobrik]

Virtually.

[Jason]

No, no, it's a chair. And then there's lights. Imagine an egg all around me with lights and cameras everywhere. Behind me, in front of me. And then you spin in the egg. And they can redo any, any line in a movie, Anything.

[Jay]

Oh.

[Jason]

And so there's a lot of examples, but, like, the one example is, like, when Ryan Reynolds was doing Free Guy, they like tested the movie and they thought a lot of the jokes weren't hitting with the audiences. So he just goes back in and Ryan Reynolds improvs like 100 jokes.

[David Dobrik]

And they just put it right over.

[Jason]

Take Ryan Reynolds face, and they put it right over Ryan Reynolds face. And they showed me the whole thing and I was like, it's literally like cut and paste. That's fucking so fucking cool.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, so I saw something about IMAX cameras. Apparently, IMAX cameras. You can't record audio when you're filming an imax. I never knew this.

[Jason]

Well, there's a lot of cameras like that, isn't there?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but IMAX is like. Like, Nolan shot almost all of the Dark Knight on an IMAX camera. Nolan shoots everything on an IMAX camera.

[Jason]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

So I was reading the comments, and if you, if you watch an IMAX camera at work. Yeah, it's so fucking loud. It is like a generator going on. Oh.

[Jason]

So how do the Actors act over that.

[David Dobrik]

They ad lib it.

[Jay]

What do you mean?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, they go into a fucking recording studio and they record over their voice.

[Jason]

Do they really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Are you sure?

[Jay]

Can we verify this?

[David Dobrik]

We have. We have to. Yes, we have to. Because. Okay, so I looked it up and basically this is it. So they work around the camera noise. So IMAX cameras are very loud, especially the old 70 millimeter ones. So productions do a few things. They put the camera further away or in a soundproof blimp, a heavy enclosure that muffles the noise. They shoot quieter dialogue scenes with smaller digital cameras like an Alexa or Venice, and save IMAX for big visuals. That's crazy. Or they use ADR automated dialogue replacement. Actors re record the lines in a studio later, matching their on screen lip movements. That's crazy. In Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan used IMAX cameras even for dialogue scenes. But they had a custom engineer quieter camera housings and still replaced a lot of the lines in post. Same with Dunkirk and Interstellar. Wow, that's fucking madness.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I wonder how many lines were. Were dubbed over because of those cameras being so loud. I think that's really bizarre. I can't wrap my head around that at all.

[Natalie]

How can you.

[David Dobrik]

How can you possibly match the audio perfectly? Especially on such a big screen where everybody's watching it like so intensely. That blows my mind.

[Jason]

They must have like audio software that like matches stuff.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I guess they're probably also like AI in their.

[Jason]

So if you. I want. I want McDonald's. They can like just match it to the mouth and they can redo your mouth.

[David Dobrik]

Maybe. Maybe something like.

[Jason]

That's probably what it is.

[Natalie]

But we were.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, so we were watching Hidden Figures and we were talking about like the most notable black people. Yeah, like the most. Like the people that have shaped the most. And we ran. We ran around to see who could name, like the most famous person. We went around to John. And this is who John named. He said his was Douglas fir.

[Jason]

Who's that again?

[David Dobrik]

Please look it up. Look up Douglas fir. This joke only works as. No, no, no, Jay, look it up. Like Google it. Google it. Google it. Look up Douglas fir. And if you're listening at home, also look it up. Cause this is the only way. Cause I had to look it up. Cause I was like, who's Douglas fir?

[Ad Read Voice]

The tree.

[David Dobrik]

Douglas fir is a Christmas tree.

[Jay]

Oh my God.

[David Dobrik]

He was thinking of Frederick Douglass.

[Jason]

Oh my God.

[David Dobrik]

It's crazy. I looked it up. I'm like, douglas firn.

[Jay]

Douglas fern.

[David Dobrik]

It's Douglas fir. And it's the tree they use for Christmas trees. So fucking the most John Common ever. That guy operates on a completely different wavelength.

[Jason]

Did you watch the Scorsese doc yet?

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Natalie]

This is a new one.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Natalie]

Or there is one.

[Jason]

Yeah. And we were talking about villain origin stories or like hero origin stories. And Scorsese's story is amazing. He was, when he was a kid he had asthma and he couldn't go outside so he like he was just. He would just watch his friends play. And so when you watch Scorsese movies, there's. It's always like through you. I'm tell what?

[David Dobrik]

That's. That's crazy. Okay, Through a window.

[Jason]

Always through a window. Yeah, and so that's because like when he was a kid he was always like staring down at the street like watching everyone play. And then he couldn't breathe. Like so when it was hot he like literally couldn't breathe in the apartment. So his dad would just take him to the movies for like 10 hours a day. Really? Yeah. And that's why he became a great director. Isn't that so cool?

[David Dobrik]

He says this.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's in the doc. Why don't you believe me?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know, it's like one of.

[Jay]

Those sounds like so like almost like cliche.

[Natalie]

Yeah, it's like so poetic to me it sounds so.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's crazy. It's like my favorite.

[David Dobrik]

The aspect ratio of my window just so happened to be that of the cinemas.

[Jason]

Fucking love stories like that. Yeah, it's like Kurt Cobain too.

[David Dobrik]

He was the Kurt Cobain.

[Jason]

He was the. He went to high school and then the next year he became the janitor of that high school. And he was just like fucking ridiculed like that. That year was like the hardest year for Kurt Cobain.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what? Where did he go to school?

[Jason]

Aberdeen.

[David Dobrik]

What state?

[Jason]

Washington.

[David Dobrik]

So his freshman year of college, instead of going to college.

[Jason]

Yeah, he just, he just went back to the high school and like was the janitor. Oh my God, it's like shit on. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, and then what happened?

[Jason]

And then he wrote Smells Like Teen.

[David Dobrik]

Spirit and he just became the greatest.

[Jason]

Rock star of all time. To some say.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, could you imagine? So cool. There's nothing cooler than a like like come up Stories aren't like cool anymore.

[Jason]

They're not?

[David Dobrik]

I don't think. No. Like the new ones. Do you know what I mean?

[Jason]

Well, they are classic.

[David Dobrik]

Like being discovered in this place and that place. I feel like now it's all. You're discovered because someone filmed you that's that's true.

[Jason]

That's a really good point.

[Natalie]

You're like, you kind of really.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I was in this piano bar, like, even Taylor Swift, like, seeing Taylor Swift, like, what, perform at that little state fair or whatever she did. It's a picture of her. Like, that's mind blowing. You see the little banner that says.

[Jason]

Taylor Swift now, we would see her at 10 years old already.

[David Dobrik]

You'd see her. Yeah. You see her on. Oh, it's got 10 million likes. Oh, where's her page?

[Jason]

You're right, it's ruined.

[David Dobrik]

You follow her page.

[Jason]

Dude, I've been feeling like everything's ruined lately. Everything.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm telling you, we're. We're just in. I'm telling you, it's just change. It's going to be. It's going to be. There will be a new. There's going to be a renaissance of culture, of film. We just have to adjust.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's all going to change and I think it's all going to be positive. I don't think things are dying. I just don't believe in that.

[Jason]

What's your hero origin story?

[David Dobrik]

My hero origin story? What does that mean? What made me who I am? Yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I think it was just like watching Late Night.

[Jason]

Your parent. Your parents not. Not watch. Not letting you watch streamers.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I think. I think my parents, like, I guess it's your adversity.

[Jason]

That would. Is. What would. What kind of adversity were you against? Are you not, like, what was your adversity?

[Jay]

I think my mom.

[David Dobrik]

My adversity is now.

[Jason]

Thank you, Jen.

[Jay]

Yeah, thank you, Jen. Yeah, I know. She was just like, really crazy. Like, just insane as a kid. And like, there wasn't really like a. Like, I was such a good kid.

[David Dobrik]

You were.

[Jay]

But I was always in trouble for something.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Really.

[Jay]

Even though I wasn't doing anything.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And I just. I was just always in trouble or grounded or whatever. And it just made me like, getting creative on how to outsmart him.

[Jason]

I'm trying to get cocaine quarterback in here.

[Jay]

What's that?

[Jason]

It's like an Amazon show about the USC kid. That was.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, real quick.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Before that. Yeah, the. The hero. This reminds me of a thing. There was this. When we were filming a vlog with me and Alex. This was like back in. This was like fucking 8th vlog we've ever filmed. We went up to this paparazzi guy and we were like, what are you guys filming? We were filming and we wanted to, like, film behind Paparazzi. And he goes. He goes, nothing. Go away, you fucking YouTubers.

[Jason]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

And I go, whoa. I go, this is crazy. Like, this is like, the most. Like. I love that. I loved when people would mock us as YouTubers. Like. Like, when we were getting, like, two, 3,000 views, because I just thought it was funny. I was like. I was like, this is. I was like, this is so cliche. And I looked at everything as like, oh, this is going to come back one day, and this is going to be a really funny story. Like, I'm going to. If this guy ever. If this. If my YouTube videos ever become successful, this guy is going to eat his words. Yeah.

[Natalie]

And I remember, like, very, very recognizable paparazzi guy. Like, if I showed you a picture, you've seen him, right? And I remember, I was like, if this guy ever shoots me one day for anything, like, I'm going to fucking give him a piece of my mind. I'm going to be like, don't you fucking dare point that thing.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. And. And.

[Jason]

And I didn't. And he came right up to me.

[David Dobrik]

And I shook his hand and it happened.

[Natalie]

Took a picture of me. And I thought to myself, this would be the moment. And I was like, I'm. That. That's just not me. Like, I'm not gonna be like, this guy.

[David Dobrik]

Like, whatever.

[Natalie]

He was having a bad day that day.

[Jay]

But you actually met him again.

[Natalie]

100. It 100% happened exactly the way I've always envisioned it. Six years later, I'm like, that, David.

[Jason]

I fucking love that. It's so true. And it's like, I'm gonna show them one day. And not only did you say it, but you had the ability to it, actually. You know, you could have.

[Natalie]

No, it happened perfectly. I'm not, like, fucking George Clooney, like, being shot.

[David Dobrik]

But he.

[Natalie]

But it was enough to where he.

[David Dobrik]

Was taking pictures of me leaving this party.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And, like, at this point, he now knew me as somebody other than what.

[Natalie]

I was at that moment, you know? Like, I'm not saying, like, I've become.

[Jason]

Kurt Cobain, but in your defense, though, like, what would you have said? It would have come out clunky.

[Natalie]

It would have been dumb.

[David Dobrik]

It was stupid. And it would have been like, there's. That's.

[Jason]

That's.

[Jay]

That.

[David Dobrik]

That's like revenge from a cartoon. Like, that's.

[Natalie]

That's not realistic. Like.

[David Dobrik]

Like. And I.

[Natalie]

And I didn't even feel good about it. I wasn't even. Like, I showed him for some reason.

[David Dobrik]

I was just, like, so much Time has passed where it wasn't like a.

[Natalie]

Movie, where that happened in 30 minutes of runtime, where I was like, time to fucking, like. Because I think you see that kind of stuff in movies, and it's a really good payoff.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Because you see your.

[Natalie]

Your protagonist go through it in such a quick amount of time, and you're like, okay, now give it to him. But, like, so much time passed by and so many other things happened that got me there, where it wasn't straight.

[David Dobrik]

Like, fuck you. Fuck you.

[Jason]

Who's a fucking YouTuber now?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I'm still doing YouTube. But, like. Yeah, no, I didn't. But that. That was. That was, like, really was a really funny moment that just reminded me I had something like.

[Jason]

That I met someone in person that I, you know, that, like, did me wrong, and I had the opportunity and I didn't.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason]

You know, you're just like, oh. And then he ended up apologizing.

[David Dobrik]

It's just like, what's the point? Like, genuinely. What's. I'm.

[Natalie]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. Why?

[Jason]

Yeah. There is no point to it.

[David Dobrik]

There is no point. There is no point.

[Jason]

You're not gonna get anything out of it.

[David Dobrik]

No. And it's like. And it just makes you feel like, okay. And you. You also don't know why that paparazzi.

[Natalie]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

That paparazzi guy could have been kicked in the face by a YouTuber the other day. And maybe he was just angry in that moment. I don't know. It's just too much.

[Jason]

I remember, like, kind of wrestling with it as I was in the moment. And then he apologized, and I was.

[Natalie]

Like, in that moment.

[David Dobrik]

He apologized?

[Jason]

Yeah, he. He apologized. And I was like. Before I said anything bad, and then I was like, okay, it's okay. It's okay. And I remember. I remember, like, we were still there, and I still was, like. Was pretty bad what you did, but.

[David Dobrik]

That's really funny.

[Jason]

But we're good.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, that's really funny.

[Jason]

We're just too nice.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's. I don't know. Those things are better to like, just have as shower thoughts and just to be in the shower, be like, if I ever fucking meet this motherfucker. That's. That's all it is. All right. Wait, what was the quarter quarterback thing that you want to get on the pod?

[Jason]

Oh, just this. There's this. You should watch it. It's an Amazon show. It's called Cocaine Quarterback. He was a USC football player that became a he Worked for the cartel.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, you've talked about this?

[Jason]

Yeah, Well, I finally watched it, and then I DM'd him, and he DM me back, and so I'm trying to get him on. Oh, that'd be sick. Yeah. Yeah. If you're listening, Owen, please come on.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, and please come on the pod. We'd love to.

[Jay]

Speaking of football, you know what I started watching yesterday was the Chad Powers show.

[Jason]

Oh, it's so good.

[David Dobrik]

It's so good.

[Jay]

You watch it, too?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Yeah, I watched it, like, right when we had to do that thing for Kane. It's really good.

[Jay]

I never got to watch it, and I just started it last night.

[David Dobrik]

Isn't it well done?

[Jay]

So well done. I was like. I couldn't believe it when you were like, glen Powell is a. I don't know what you said, like, a revolutionary talent or whatever you said.

[Jason]

I don't know if I said revolutionary, but something.

[Jay]

So you were like, oh, he's, like, incredibly talented. Like, he's gonna be one of the greats. And I was just like, no, dude.

[David Dobrik]

I have my third job in, like, a week where I have to see Glenn Powell again for a different project.

[Jason]

Will he remember you?

[David Dobrik]

This dude's crushing it. I don't know. I would assume so at this point.

[Jason]

I had a moment with him at the Top Gun premiere, and it was just me and him, and it was fucking so cool.

[David Dobrik]

What was it?

[Jason]

I don't know, looking back. And maybe I was. Maybe what I said was dumb, but I was just standing next to him. We just watched Top Gun, and I was like, yo, dude, you stole the movie. Like that. And he was like, oh, really? Yeah. You think so? And I don't know if he. I don't know if he was, like, already a big star by then.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, that was.

[Jay]

I think.

[Jason]

Was he.

[David Dobrik]

No, he was in big things before, but I think that's when, like, Glenn Powell was, like, becoming Glen Powell.

[Jason]

Yeah. And it was. It was great. And isn't. Isn't it well done? Like, the prosthetic and.

[Jay]

So well done. Yeah. I was really impressed.

[Jason]

And I was like, every episode is good and you're laughing.

[Jay]

I've, like. I haven't really, like, laughed out loud at a show in a while. And, like, I was actually.

[David Dobrik]

Wow. You left by yourself.

[Jay]

Yeah, I laughed at myself.

[David Dobrik]

That'll do it. Remember when we went to the Gladiator premiere and I peed next to Paul Mascal? Yeah, that was really fun.

[Jason]

You always have ping stories.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know why I always get.

[Jay]

He's always in the fucking bath.

[David Dobrik]

I peed next to some of the coolest people in the world. My favorite, I think, is Chris Evans, who I've mentioned. But, yeah, it was just me and him in the bathroom.

[Jason]

And what happened?

[David Dobrik]

I think I told on the pod, so I don't remember because I was fresher, but it was. No, no, it was. I was in there, and then it was right when the movie was starting. So he was giving his speech inside the theater. I didn't want to miss the movie, so I was like, this is the time to go pee. So I went to go pee. And then right when he got done doing his speech, he went to do a restroom break. His security blocked off the bathroom, and it was just me and him in the bathroom, and I was like, big day for you, huh? Oh, my God, that's funny. All right, that's all the time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for listening. We'll see you guys for the next one.

[Natalie]

Thank you, Jason and Natalie, for joining me.

[David Dobrik]

It's been an incredible ride.

[Natalie]

I love doing podcasts. Goodbye. I love doing podcasts. That sounded phony.

[Jay]

So it was real, but it was.

[Jason]

You like doing the podcast?

[Natalie]

Actually, I've been having a good time ever since I've discovered antibiotics.
