Episode Overview

This episode, recorded in the dead of night during the crew’s trip to Sweden, offers a candid, comedic look at life with David, Jason, Natalie, and friends abroad. Jet lag, cultural observations, wild TSA encounters, polar nights, club mishaps, and existential discussions about life, death, and the meaning of “dead ass” are all on the table.

• Notable quote:
  • David: “I agree that maybe I have brought you guys into my living hell that I've been experiencing here in Sweden.” [01:25]

[06:13 – 06:35]

• David dwells on missing viral moments for the vlog, but Jason reassures him: “I think that's really, like, counterproductive and stupid and a waste of your energy and, like, a waste of everyone else's energy. Because now we're up at fucking four in the morning…” [06:16]

  • Jason: “She goes right for my armpits, and I'm pretty ticklish. And she's just like… I go, okay, you're tickling me. Like, stop tickling me.” [08:50]
  • Discussion of the casual Swedish airport security, lack of ID checks, and general loose protocols:
    • David: “You don't need an ID to fly, which is fucking wild.” [09:58]

---

5. Swedish Culture: Reserved Locals, Total Darkness & Fika

[10:24 – 11:55]

---

6. The Ice Hotel Adventure

[15:10 – 18:55]

• The crew visits the world-famous ice hotel in Sweden—literal rooms of sculpted ice, no doors, just curtains, and bare-bones survival.
• They marvel at the artistic rooms, recount an endless string of “imagine fucking in here” jokes, and admit they didn’t have enough material for the vlog.
• Notable quotes:
  • Jason: “There’s no padding on the bed, it’s ice… It’s not a hotel room. It’s an ice.” [18:43]
  • David: “…if we were forced to stay, would have been incredible. So next time. Next time. I know.” [20:31]

---

7. Sleep, Reindeer Cuisine, and Arctic Elements

[21:07 – 22:53]

• The crew flew deep into Sweden for the ice hotel, immediately braving exhaustion, minus-40-degree weather, and eating reindeer meat.
• David’s camera literally stops working in the cold:
  • “My camera would not work. It was like… your soul is leaving your body. Yeah, that’s how it was.” [22:14]

---

8. Clubbing Mishaps & Drunk Behavior

[13:18 – 14:59]

• Alex Ernst gets kicked out of a Swedish club—not for being too drunk, but for standing in the corner fully dressed like an “Arctic adventurer.” The group laughs at his lack of customary drunken antics.
  • David: “The weirdest thing he did was stand in a corner…He stood like that the entire time. And I think…they kicked him out because it looked like he was so drunk. Because who the fuck does that?” [13:58]

---

9. Deep Dives: Avatar, Australia’s Cocaine, and Hair Loss

[22:54 – 28:34]

• Natalie and Ilya explain the plot of “Avatar” to a bewildered Jason, leading to a group realization about the movie’s title and its meaning.
• Ilya shares a bizarre fact about cocaine being “cut” with lightbulbs in Australia to speed absorption.
• The conversation randomly spirals into Ilya’s ambition to be the “face of hair loss” for a new campaign.

---

10. Observations on Swedish Society: Cleanliness, Economy, Life Expectancy

[31:44 – 33:11]

• The group marvels at the absence of homelessness and the cleanliness of Sweden.
• David notes, “You can't be homeless here.” [32:05]
• Discussion on generous social policies: free higher education, government-paid study abroad, and low crime rates.

---

11. Life, Death, and “Dead Ass”

[35:21 – 39:11]

• The crew discusses the “dead ass” code—David’s almost religious attachment to being truthful when invoked, and the hilarious negotiations with Ilya about how often he can go out.
  • Jason: “You’re a grown man… but dead ass is so important to you that you have to have, like a proper sit down with Ilya.” [36:22]
  • David: “That word is so fucking powerful to me that it could… I mean, yeah, it does anything.” [38:08]
• Reflections on aging, mortality, and family:
  • Jason: “You have limited time left, you know? ...I had a really, really good friend lose their dad... and she was like, ‘go. You don't have a lot of time.’” [43:39]

[Natalie Mariduena]

You don't have to make the rest of us succumb to your lava.

[Jason Nash]

It's so delicious.

[David Dobrik]

I agree that maybe I have brought you guys into my living hell that I've been experiencing here in Sweden. I. I don't know what's going on, but I've become. What's that word? The word that's insomnia. Insomniac. Insufferable or insufferable?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, insufferable.

[David Dobrik]

Asshole.

[Jason Nash]

Annoying the person I want to kill the most. I hate this.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. I've become an insomniac. Okay, so we're in Sweden. This is a Sweden episode that we're doing. And I'm experiencing jet lag, which I never thought I would actually experience. And like full blown, like really, really bad jet lag.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, I know why you have jet lag.

[David Dobrik]

Why?

[Jason Nash]

Because you went to bed at four fucking o' clock today. That's why you have jet lag.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, can I just explain the whole situation? So hold on. So last night we went out, right? So this is what happened. We went out. Natalie Zane, they were having a really good time and I thought the party was kind of dying down at like 2:33. I thought it was time to go home. I went home at about 2:30 in the morning. 3 in the morning with Jason. And then Zane calls me an hour and a half later. I'm sorry. Like 30 minutes later. And he goes, you missed out, Dave. You missed out. It'll be so fun to vlog. And I was like, fuck, what happened? And, like, they just had like, a lot more fun. And I was like, really regretting, like, leaving so early. And I was so mad that I wasn't there to like, vlog it and participate in all the fun that I called Ferris, the person we filmed with, and I just, and I just started bitching. I was like, I'm so fucking stupid. Why'd I fucking leave the party? I just needed someone to vent to.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And.

[David Dobrik]

And then I hung up the phone with him at about 3am and then I stayed on my phone for the next seven hours.

[Ilya]

Jesus.

[David Dobrik]

For the next seven hours till about 10:30 I stayed on my phone. And, and, and every hour I kept telling myself, it's too late to take a NyQuil. It's too late to take a NyQuil. Like, I'm gonna myself if I take a NyQuil. Can't take a NyQuil at 4am, can't take a NyQuil at 5am and then 10:30 came around and I was like, I don't give a fuck. I'm taking this NyQuil. And at 10:30 I popped a Nyquil. And then at about noon, Natalie called me and was like, we have to. We were surprising someone outside of the hotel. So I slept for about an hour and a half.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, wow.

[David Dobrik]

And then we went downstairs and we surprised our new friend Tilda, who we met, who's very sweet.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Shout out to that. She's part of the.005% of listeners.

[Jason Nash]

She was great.

[David Dobrik]

She was. Yeah, she watched me from Bond.

[Jason Nash]

She was incredible.

[David Dobrik]

She's a really great person. I'm really glad I woke up in the. You know, woke up out of my hour and a half sleep for her.

[Natalie Mariduena]

She low key, kind of looked like David too. Like, she like, resembled a Dobrik.

[Jason Nash]

She looked like Christina and a little.

[David Dobrik]

Bit like, yeah, Jason, she looked like my mom. And Jason was like, maybe that's why she likes you so much, because she sees herself in your mom. I'm like, I don't know.

[Jason Nash]

She sees herself in you because you look like your mom.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

She feels some kinship to you. Like that happens a lot.

[David Dobrik]

She had that European vibe.

[Jason Nash]

Yes, yes, yes.

[David Dobrik]

Her. One of her friends also is like very my mom.

[Jason Nash]

Like, yes.

[David Dobrik]

The one on the right, right when we were all standing.

[Jason Nash]

Not the actress, not the actress? Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

She was like so my mom vibe.

[Ilya]

It'S so funny A little bit.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I was like, wow, this is like, it's kind of crazy. Like these are like. This is like where my mom grew up. Like here in Sweden.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, well not here but like it's rare. It's rare you meet somebody that, that likes you, that you, that you're like, wow, this seems like a really cool person.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

You know what I mean? Not rare but I mean like I got a really good vibe from her. I was like, oh, she had a.

[David Dobrik]

Good head on the shoulders.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I was so tired. So I really apologize Tilda, if I gave you like half my energy. I was just like dying.

[Jason Nash]

But wait, wait, wait. Why, why didn't you a go back out? Just grab a cab, go. Go find Zane and Natalie.

[David Dobrik]

You even called me Jake because every moment I thought I was going to fall asleep.

[Jason Nash]

But you didn't. You doom scroll for seven hours. That's my next question.

[David Dobrik]

But I.

[Jason Nash]

Why didn't you just go to bed?

[David Dobrik]

Well I do. No, I didn't just.

[Ilya]

Sorry.

[David Dobrik]

I guess that sounded like I was just on my phone. No, I would, I would scroll.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then I would be like time to time for bed and I'd be like I'm not tired enough. Let me scroll more so I get more tired.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And that was a repeated process for like ever.

[Jason Nash]

The phone just keeps you up.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I never considered myself as an insomniac but yeah, I missed out big time. I really regret it. And like I also thought that like I don't know, I haven't vlogged in a while so I forget how things work and like we had plans the next day. We had plans today. But like obviously if Natalie's out till 6, 7 in the morning and so is. Sorry. I try to. I was going to make a joke there about saying 6 7. I stopped myself. I was waiting for it and now I'm back.

[Jason Nash]

Come on, please.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry, sorry.

[Jason Nash]

Please do it.

[David Dobrik]

But yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Six seven.

[David Dobrik]

Six seven.

[Jason Nash]

But yeah, but I also. I don't think you should like beat yourself up. Like what was it? It was Zane in a limo.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean like pretty fucking fun. It was a good time.

[Jason Nash]

I'm sure it was fun.

[David Dobrik]

But it's like Zane in a limo in Sweden. It's like.

[Jason Nash]

But let's deduce it down to like actual content. Okay. So it's one vlog. It's like he has. You got so much good stuff while you're here to sit and, like, beat yourself up. Like, I think that's really, like, counterproductive and stupid and a waste of your energy and, like a waste of everyone else's energy. Because now we're up at fucking four in the morning doing the podcast when I could be asleep.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but also, it's not really four in the morning. We have to go by LA time. That's the kind of where we're at.

[Jason Nash]

I'm going to Boston.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

You can go by Boston time.

[Jason Nash]

Okay, I will. I don't know what time it is.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I don't know what time it is there either.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's like 10pm there.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So it's. We're so good. So no worries. You're. You're right on schedule. You'll be in bed in an hour. But yeah, so Sweden experience so far other than that is going good. I don't want to give away too much just because, like, it's going to be in the vlog in, like, in like, two. Two weeks. But, like, what's something that we can't talk about?

[Jason Nash]

I got tickled by a TSA agent.

[David Dobrik]

We should definitely talk about that because that won't be in the vlog. No, but Jason was going through security and he was this, like, Swedish woman.

[Jason Nash]

Imagine, like a. Like a Swedish. Like a woman. Like a track and field star from, like, the Swedish Olympic team. Yeah, like someone who threw like the discus, like that type of woman. Yeah, like very tall. She was at least 6ft. She had long arms, hair pulled back. Like a Martina Nevratilova type.

[David Dobrik]

Like, exactly. Martina Nevratilova.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know who that is?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Nope.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I thought you made that name up.

[Jason Nash]

No, she was like a really famous tennis player from the 80s. Female tennis player, and she was pretty masculine.

[David Dobrik]

I went through the baggage claim first and they were, like, going through my stuff because I had a water bottle in there or something. And then all I hear is Jason going, david, David, David. While he's getting patted down by tsa. And I'm also talking to the woman in front of me because she's going through the water bottles and stuff. And then I hear him go, david, she's tickling me. She's tickling me. And I looked over and she's fully tickling Jason. The TSH is full on tickling. And I thought he was, like, exaggerating, like, being funny, but she was like, ooh. She was like, even, like, making sounds like it was like, full blown tickling. And then I got My camera out. I got, like, the tail end of the tickling where it didn't even look like tickling anymore.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wait, why was she tickling?

[Jason Nash]

I told her. I told her I had a hip replacement. So she goes, I have to pat you down.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

So I go, okay, no problem. And she'll put. Put your arms up. Put her arms out. She goes, okay, I'm going to touch you now. And I was like, okay, go ahead. And I just thought she'd, like, do a couple pads. So she goes right for my armpits, and I'm pretty ticklish. And she's just like. She was like. She's like. And I go. I go, okay.

[Ad Voice]

Ow.

[Jason Nash]

I go, you're tickling me. Like, stop tickling me. And. And that made her want to do it more. She was like. Did she, like. Did she, like, put her hand, like, in my pants?

[David Dobrik]

I did. See that. That was weird.

[Jason Nash]

Like, wait, what? So you know I have, like, your jeans and you have your. Your underwear? Like, your boxers?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Like, inside.

[David Dobrik]

She, like, felt her on the brim.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

In there.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Going in is strange.

[David Dobrik]

If Jason's wife was there, she would have been upset.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

She would been, like. Especially Naveen would be like, what the fuck? What are you doing?

[Jason Nash]

And then touch my man. And then all the way up. And she wasn't somebody that I, like, was attracted to or anything, really.

[David Dobrik]

You said she was one of the sexiest TSA agents. You said we should fly this airline more. No, wait, what did she say after she was done tickling you? She's like, you have to calm down because I have to do it all. What did she say?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I have to calm down. I have to do it all over again. She's, like, joking around. Yeah. I think it's because where we flew to is so barren that maybe there's, like, not a lot of.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, I just.

[Jason Nash]

People around there.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I felt like that for, like, all of this. Like, even on our way there with the flight attendants on the plane, like, everybody's very, like, loose and, like, you know, didn't even check our. Remember, they didn't even check our IDs or anything to, like, get on that flight.

[David Dobrik]

I thought that was weird. We went. We got. We flew domestically. In Sweden. You don't need an ID to fly, which is fucking wild.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I've never seen that in my life. No id. You just need the barcode and, like, that's it. There's no, like, real TSA agent, actually. Actually, there's not a TSA agent there Wasn't anybody at all anywhere. Yeah. Oh, I guess just through the checkpoint. But there's nobody that you hand your ticket to, even.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You're just scanning on computers.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And you're just going through. But I have, like, a mixed. Because I've experienced that with Swedish people. And then we've also experienced. I've heard this from, like, three or four Swedes. So this isn't me saying that Swedes are like this, but, like, they don't like to say hello. Like, everyone. Everyone walking around.

[Jason Nash]

Guy told me that, too.

[David Dobrik]

Keeps to themselves. I keep hearing this, and I'm like. And it's interesting because usually when you go to, like, people's cultures and towns, people are always like, isn't everyone so friendly? But like, every Swede we meet here is like, yeah, yeah. We don't. We just keep to ourselves.

[Jason Nash]

If you're at a bus stop, you stay far away from the other person, apparently.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. You have to, like, keep your distance.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It's just for, like, I don't know.

[Jason Nash]

It's just. Yeah. We learned about Fika, which is something they. It's like a lunch break they take every day with snacks.

[David Dobrik]

We learned about Fika. Yeah. Natalie wants to move here because of Fika also. And a lot of people say that the reason that they don't like interacting with each other is because people are here. Are just so depressed during the winter time.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, right.

[David Dobrik]

I've. We've been here, what, four days now? I've seen sunlight three hours.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Out of the total. And just like. And cloudy. Cloudy sunlight.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, he. When we. When we got to the hotel, we asked. We asked the guy that was working at the hotel how many hours of sunlight they've gotten, like, every day. And he's like, We've got about 30 minutes this entire month because it's been so cloudy every day. It's crazy that we got 30 minutes for the whole last. What, 20 days in. In Sweden, just because it's just been cloudy and the sun just can't get through.

[Jason Nash]

How about when Alex got thrown out of the club for being drunk, but he was no more drunk than any of us. Did you remember that?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah, that was so crazy.

[David Dobrik]

We went to the club with Alex Ernst, Ilya Zayn. That was a really good time. And then, yeah, Alex got kicked out.

[Jason Nash]

I think we figured out that, like, when Zane gets drunk, he has like a big smile on his face, you know? Or when I get drunk, we're like, but Alex is just standing there drunk.

[David Dobrik]

I've never seen Alex drunk, I think in my life.

[Jason Nash]

No, he wasn't that drunk either.

[David Dobrik]

No. But the craziest thing Alex did.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Which was like the next morning we were having our little debrief and we were like. And he's like, I didn't do anything weird, right? And I was like, no, you didn't do anything fucking weird. What are you talking about? The weirdest thing he did was stand in a corner.

[Jason Nash]

That's why he got thrown around.

[David Dobrik]

And he had his hat on, like full hat on, full hood over his hat and had his gloves on in the club. Like, it looked like he just came out. Like he just came out of the Arctic into the club and he stood like that the entire time. And I think someone, I think they kicked him out because it looked like he was so drunk. Because who the fuck does that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just, like, such a weird character to have.

[Jason Nash]

He was killing the vibe. That's why he got kicked out.

[David Dobrik]

He got kicked out. But no. But the next morning, we were doing a debrief, and I was like, why would you say that you did something weird? He's like, I found this weird picture on my phone and I laughed my ass off. Cause if you know Alex Ernst, it was really weird. It was just. It was him in the bathroom and a mirror selfie with the biggest smile on his face. It was just him. And just, like, there was, like, a wine glass that he had, and it was just him smiling, and it was so funny. Not that Alex doesn't smile, but, like, it's funny for him to, like, think, like, I'm going to document this moment because I'm, like, so drunk.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Jeez. It's really, really funny. But overall, Sweden's great. We saw a lot of fucking snow. We went to. What's something that won't be in a vlog that we can talk about? Ice hotel.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, yeah, go ahead.

[David Dobrik]

We went to the ice hotel that won't be in the vlog, most likely. So it's this hotel completely made out of ice. Jason didn't believe us for the longest time that people sleep there.

[Jason Nash]

I didn't understand it. There's no doors on the rooms.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So there's like. So there's like, 20 rooms there you walk into. Basically a refrigerator. Yeah, A refrigerator the size of two football fields.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And each. Each.

[Jason Nash]

Not that you need to be a refrigerator since it's 40 below outside.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, it's.

[Jason Nash]

I'm not even sure it's a refrigerator.

[Ilya]

No, I think it's just a room.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, you think it's just a room.

[Jason Nash]

It's just structures with no heat.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. So you don't think they're pumping cold into it. It's just like.

[Jason Nash]

I don't think so.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Because it's already really cold. Our tour guide there was saying that. Well, let me get to that in a little bit. But yeah. So basically, it's divided into, like, 20 or 30 different sections. The ice hotel is. And each section is its own, like, art. Every room is its own art exhibit.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So like, a different artist makes every room. So, like, one room you'll have, like. It's all carved out of ice. All carved out of snow and ice. So even the bed is ice. Everything's ice. So, like. So you'll have, like, owls carved into the ceiling. Or you'll have, like, cool. There's one room that was. It was a library. So, like, they.

[Ilya]

Every book was made out of, like, shaved ice. So every book was like this big ice cube. And you could, like, take out the ice cubes, and they were shaped like books. And we sat there for, like, 30 minutes trying to make jokes. And that's why I say, the ice hotel is not going in. We couldn't find anything funny with those books. We just made a bunch of puns. We were like.

[David Dobrik]

Sain was like, this is my favorite book, Frozen.

[Ilya]

And that was about it. So I don't think that'll make it.

[David Dobrik]

But yeah. It was so cold.

[Jason Nash]

It was so bad that we were so stretched for jokes that Ilya said, imagine fucking here. Like, each time in every room.

[David Dobrik]

He said, every room. We walked into it.

[Jason Nash]

We didn't have anything else to say.

[David Dobrik]

Ilya would go, imagine fucking in here. And it got funny about the fifth or sixth time. But it's only funny because he did it five or six times. So I don't think I could put that on the vlog because it'd be a long joke for nothing.

[Jason Nash]

I had reindeer.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah, we had. Wait, wait, wait. I don't. Wait, one more thing about the thing. The way the ice hotel is set up is so there's also ice hotel, church. There was like, you can get married there. Oh, that was really funny. So our tour guide was like, you don't want to get married here. It's too expensive. And Zane goes like, I'm sure it's just, like, an average wedding cost. And we're like, zayn, what do you think a wedding costs? And he's like, 100K. And our tour guide was like, wait, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

He's like, speechless.

[David Dobrik]

Our tour guide was like, no, it's not that much. I'm sorry. My friend Zane is from Los Angeles. These weddings are all $100,000. But yeah, okay, so then. So. So what you do is you could buy a ticket to tour all the rooms.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You don't have to stay there.

[David Dobrik]

You don't have to stay there, but you're touring people's rooms, and some of the people there are spending the night there that night. It's very confusing. So, like, I'll buy a ticket, and let's say I'll run into Ilya there, who's a guest of the hotel. Ilya will be in his room, but his room will be unlocked to the general public for everyone to walk in and see. The ice.

[Jason Nash]

It's just a curtain.

[David Dobrik]

It's just a curtain. But at 10pm or whatever, no more tours, no more tourists, and you go to your own room.

[Jason Nash]

But let me explain this for everybody.

[David Dobrik]

Which is fucking wild.

[Jason Nash]

Let me explain this for everybody. There's no closet. There's no.

[David Dobrik]

No bathroom.

[Jason Nash]

There's no bathroom. There's no place to put your suitcase because it's ice. There's no lamps. No, there's no. It's not a hotel room. It's an ice. I mean, that's why when you said people stay here, I was like, what?

[David Dobrik]

Jason didn't believe me for the longest time.

[Jason Nash]

There's no padding on the bed. It's ice. So I get it. I guess you bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.

[Natalie Mariduena]

They give you a sleeping bag.

[David Dobrik]

I told Jason, I'm like, dead ass. People sleep here.

[Jason Nash]

And then did Pearson make a video about it?

[David Dobrik]

I asked Pearson. I was like. I was like, you. She's been to an ice hotel, and she's like, david, you are going to be so extremely miserable. Make sure you book another room. You're gonna hate it.

[Jason Nash]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

It's really cool to see, but I just couldn't imagine actually spending. It's like, no, no, it's terrible. But Jason had me dead ass. And he so didn't believe me that. He was like, I've never seen you.

[Ilya]

Lie on dead ass in my life.

[David Dobrik]

And I'm like, jay, I'm not lying. People are sleeping in here tonight. It was like, that hard for him.

[Ilya]

To wrap his head around.

[Jason Nash]

You kept trying to tell me that we're staying there when you had your camera out. And I was like, no, I'm not. I'm not staying here. There's no way.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We were supposed to. That was the original plan.

[Ilya]

You were.

[Jason Nash]

We were gonna stay there, spend the night there.

[David Dobrik]

Now I really do wish how we stayed.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't.

[David Dobrik]

Natalie, could you imagine.

[Jason Nash]

Explain it to me. How would you stay there? Look, be like, functionally, it's a sleeping. You're in a sleeping bag.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, sleeping bag. And you're sleeping in your coat in seven layers.

[Jason Nash]

In seven layers. And what about your face? And. Yeah, I guess.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, you got to cover your face.

[Jason Nash]

It's like, there's no. How do you charge your phone? There's no outlets. You probably still think you're fucking with me.

[David Dobrik]

No, you chart. I think you, like, keep your stuff, you know, like the.

[Jason Nash]

I saw the lockers.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, like, where you check in, right? Like, that's where you keep all your Actual stuff. I'm sure you could put your phone in there and lock it up. But like. No, that would have been so funny for the vlog. Jay, could you imagine if I was like, we're all staying here.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, it would have been funny, I.

[David Dobrik]

Guess for six hours we would have gotten some of the best stuff. Just you guys screaming at me. They would have just left.

[Jason Nash]

And then why did you decide not to do.

[David Dobrik]

Really nowhere to leave.

[Natalie Mariduena]

They have regular hotel rooms there if they're available.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know. We tried for about an hour to make jokes in there. We fucking failed miserably.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, but that's because we were just. We were just looking at it like as passerbyers. For an hour.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, okay.

[David Dobrik]

But I'm saying the jokes forced there. The joke's there. If we were forced to stay, would have been incredible. So next time. Next time. I know.

[Jason Nash]

Damn.

[David Dobrik]

That we have to stay at the ice hotel. So. Okay. And then what else were you saying? You tried reindeer?

[Jason Nash]

I tried reindeer. Well, first of all, we got here. I don't know why you guys did it this way. We got here on Thursday, which is a long flight. Great. But then you had us flying out at 6am the next day to go do all the crazy activities. Activities.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, but imagine.

[Jason Nash]

So that's why we were all so tired.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, but like, imagine if we. If we did.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, we explain that. So we landed here at 11pm and then got here, got to the hotel around 12 and then had to wake up at like 5:30 to leave to go back to that same airport that was like 25, 30 minutes away to go to another city in Sweden.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That was like an hour and a.

[David Dobrik]

Half flight, which is where the ice hotel was. Because we wanted to go see it.

[Jason Nash]

Not just another city in Sweden. Like a frozen.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We were in the Arctic Circle.

[David Dobrik]

We were in the Arctic Circle. It was incredible. It was incredible. It was like. It was really cool.

[Jason Nash]

It was the craziest, most. The hardest human elements I've ever been in.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I don't know what will make the vlog just because, like, first of all, my camera just could not.

[Jason Nash]

Oh yeah. I needed to see that. What would happen to it?

[David Dobrik]

My camera would not work. It was like, like, you know in. In Doctor Strange or just like in any movie.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I won't reference Marvel movies around you guys because I know you guys are stupid. But like in any movie, when your soul is leaving your body. Yeah, that's how it was. Like every time I would move it.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Your body would be like, it was, like, so laggy because it was so cold.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

My camera wouldn't work.

[Jason Nash]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

What I would have to do is if I was filming, I'd keep one camera in the car and the car would be on and I'd switch them in and out because it was. It was freezing. But I'm glad that we're getting. We're getting to experience. We're. We're going from Sweden back to LA for a little bit. I'm going to go watch Avatar 3, which I'm so fucking excited about back in LA.

[Jason Nash]

I'm not excited about that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Really. What, you don't like the Avatar movies?

[Jason Nash]

Never seen it.

[Ilya]

What are you, a fucking crack?

[Jason Nash]

The minute I saw what the. Whatever the aliens look like or whatever.

[Ilya]

I was just like, you know, they look so fantasy.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, I hate it. I hate fantasy. Why? It's not real. I just can't get behind it. I'm like. I just. I can't get into it.

[David Dobrik]

That's why you're so miserable, because you just. You can't.

[Jason Nash]

You think so you think the answer is Thor and, and. And Dr. Strange. And it's like. Like, imagine Captain oh, Cap. Should I get into Cap, Dave or Cap? Change my outlook on life.

[Ilya]

No one just calls him oh, Cap. What the.

[Jason Nash]

I say you call him Cap, right? Yeah. People call him Cap in the movies, don't they?

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Ilya]

Regardless, it would have changed your life, but it would be like you'd be.

[David Dobrik]

More optimistic about things.

[Jason Nash]

Really?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

You like. You think so?

[Ilya]

You look like the mobster movies where people get their heads blown off like.

[Jason Nash]

Goodfellas, and they're all based on, like, true stories.

[David Dobrik]

Those are great.

[Ilya]

Those are great, too.

[David Dobrik]

But I'm just saying, like, there's nothing.

[Ilya]

Better than seeing avatar in 3D and IMAX.

[Jason Nash]

What's it about?

[David Dobrik]

I have no idea.

[Jason Nash]

What is it about? Have you seen the first one?

[David Dobrik]

It's. It's basically.

[Ilya]

Dude, it's kind of crazy because I can't really explain it. That's how, like, you're getting me that.

[Jason Nash]

You'Re chastising me for not seeing Avatar and you don't know what it's about.

[Ilya]

I know what it's about.

[Natalie Mariduena]

These, like, human scientists, they find out that there is this, like, other world where the.

[Ilya]

Pandora. Pandora and these aliens. Navi.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, Pandora has this element there similar to, like, Black Panther where they're. They have Vibranium, the Avatar people. Thank you. They have some sort of element there. And the humans government is trying to exploit that, so they're like, basically mining and digging it up, and then it's like a war between the humans and the Avatar people. And that's what, like, the first movie's about. And then you get more into, like, the Avatar world. Like this one, this third one is.

[Ilya]

About, like, original guy that came to, like, you know, kill the Avatars or whatever, becomes an Avatar full time, and now he's one of the Na', Vi, and he has kids with one of the other avatars.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, how did he get sucked into it?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Because they fell in love, but they find a way to, like, the. A human goes into, like, a chamber, and you come out, like, as an avatar person, like, on the other end, but.

[Ilya]

Well, hence the word avatar.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yes.

[Jason Nash]

So. So they're an avatar. They're actually avatars.

[David Dobrik]

Hold on.

[Jason Nash]

They're made by computers.

[David Dobrik]

Hold on. She's, like, literally having the biggest epiphany here. She just found out what this means.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wow, I never thought about that.

[Ilya]

It's called Avatar because they are avatars.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I just thought they were, like, Avatar people, and then, like, this specific group was the Nami.

[Ilya]

No, no, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's really funny.

[Ilya]

I mean, actually, I don't know.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Is that a commonly known thing?

[David Dobrik]

I think so.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's like one of those things where it's like, whoa, you know, like, you have that, like, epiphany moment.

[Jason Nash]

So not there.

[Ilya]

You know what I found out about cocaine in Australia? I know this is a crazy pivot.

[David Dobrik]

But this is, like, one of those things that, like.

[Ilya]

Should I say this for later in the podcast? Can we put it back to Avatar right after this?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, that's fine. This podcast doesn't matter. I jump all over.

[David Dobrik]

I was talking to this guy about.

[Ilya]

Cocaine, and, like, though he. He was like, in Australia, they wash it with.

[David Dobrik]

Do you know what? They wash it. They tell you light bulbs.

[Jason Nash]

Why?

[Ilya]

And that crazy how he's like, in L. A. You, like, fentanyl is, like, a big problem, right? But, like, in. In. In Australia, it's light bulbs. So they crush light bulbs, like, to very thin, almost dust particles. And then the good thing about light bulbs is it'll cut open your nose a little bit so the cocaine will get into your blood quicker. How fucking crazy is that?

[Natalie Mariduena]

That sounds terrible.

[Ilya]

Yeah, it's horrifying.

[David Dobrik]

Fun fact.

[Ilya]

Just like Natalie learned about avatars, I learned about Australian cocaine. Okay, sorry.

[David Dobrik]

Back to. Back to.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I wish you could see your hair right now.

[Ilya]

It looks like I'm on cocaine.

[Jason Nash]

It's.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's Jimmy Neutron. There's just like, one little, like, poof that sticks straight up. What?

[Ilya]

I stopped taking my hair serum.

[Jason Nash]

What was your hair serum doing for you?

[Ilya]

It was really good, but I'm going. I think I'm going to go with another brand soon.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Ilya]

And I want to, like, lose all my hair to see what it. I want to, like, go back to the bottom to see if this new brand works.

[Jason Nash]

Hey, bud, that could be very risky.

[Ilya]

Yeah, well, I've been off my serum for, like, four or five months, so.

[David Dobrik]

What if you lose all.

[Jason Nash]

What if you lose all your hair and you can't get it back?

[David Dobrik]

I don't know.

[Ilya]

It's gone.

[Jason Nash]

You don't care?

[Ilya]

I'm not.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know.

[Ilya]

I'm not, like, one to, like, care about hair as much, really.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's interesting when you say that because I feel like you have had, like, you haven't changed your hair. Like, if you really didn't care, wouldn't you just be like, fuck it. Just like, like, do something different. Cut it, shave it.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know. What would he do? What would he do differently? His hair is just like. Unless it's either long or short. His hair just doesn't.

[Natalie Mariduena]

But his hair is like such a. I don't know.

[Jason Nash]

I think he'd look cool with like a. Like a crew cut. I'd love to see that.

[Ilya]

This is what I want to do.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[Ilya]

This is my idea, my big idea. Like, if I. I want to partner with, like. Okay, so if you've been to Chicago, you know this guy named Brian Urlacher.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. You've talked about this on the pod. Yeah, yeah. Go, go, go.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ilya]

I would want to be the face of hair loss.

[Jason Nash]

Right?

[Ilya]

For the Internet age.

[Jason Nash]

Yes, yes.

[Ilya]

And I think a video where I do that would be. That would be really cool. Would be where I shave my head, like in the video. And like, that's like the moment you see, like, how the actual hairline, the actual hairline, and then from there I grow. So, like, if I want to find a good partnership with, like, the right hair brand.

[Jason Nash]

Where.

[Ilya]

Yeah. Where I shave my head in a video. And I think that'll do really fun. And I think I'm gonna look pathetic. Like, I think I'm gonna look really, really, really stupid.

[Jason Nash]

No, I don't think so.

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Ilya]

I have a weird shaped head, brother. Weird, weird shaped head.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, you know you have a big fat head.

[David Dobrik]

You know, I knew when we pivoted.

[Ilya]

From Avatar to Cocaine, we'd never go back to Avatar.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Ilya]

I Knew it. I knew I should have done that.

[Jason Nash]

Well, I can't bring much to the table. It's about. They're all computer programs or avatars.

[David Dobrik]

No, so. So is that the idea? So the reason. The main guy, who's played by Sam Worthington, because he didn't have legs. He got his legs. Got, like, in battle or something. He, like, lost them, so he couldn't walk anymore. But through his avatar, he got those abilities back, and that's why he entered the program. Okay, Jay, we have room service. Why do you keep panicking like you have no idea what's going on?

[Jason Nash]

I looked at the thing, and then I. I. I just looked over there. I just.

[David Dobrik]

Someone just knocked on the door, and Jason gave, like, five looks.

[Jason Nash]

I knew it was room service. I knew it was room service. I was just.

[David Dobrik]

Thank you.

[Jason Nash]

Sorry.

[David Dobrik]

Our friend's terrified.

[Jason Nash]

Why do you get panicked when my head goes somewhere else? Guys, if. When we're doing the podcast, if I, like, look down to make sure it's recording, he gets angry. Or if I look out the room and I was just looking at. Kissy has a suite. I was looking at this. The woman brought in the food in the living room. In the living room? Yeah. In the parlor. But, yeah, Dave got this great big suite here, and then I went to my room, and the hotel's really nice, and I'm super grateful to be here, but I've never seen it before. Nat. I had just a single. Did you see it this morning?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, I saw it.

[Jason Nash]

Just a single bed.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Your room is, like, mad.

[Jason Nash]

It's like Orphan Annie in there.

[David Dobrik]

No, there's something wrong with your room.

[Jason Nash]

It's really weird.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yours is like a closet they converted, I think.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know. And then meanwhile, you're right next door, and yours is gorgeous.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, mine's.

[David Dobrik]

Natalie's room's completely fine. My room is like. It has a living room attached to it.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But it's like a normal hotel room for what I get.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

And you guys asked me if it was a big room, and I was like, no, not really. And then you came by, and you're like, this is huge. And then I was like, what? And then I went to your room, and, Jay, your room literally looks like from Harry Potter, like, when he's under the staircase. I've never seen a nice hotel have a bed pushed into the corner.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, it's in the corner.

[David Dobrik]

It's in the corner. And it's not even a twin. It's smaller than a twin.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Also, the Woman who cleans the rooms here, I love her. She's great. She's got really good energy. But she's a little too. She's like, up my ass. Like, the entire time. Really up my ass.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, why?

[Jason Nash]

Like, I was pooping today. I came in, I came back, and I was like. And she's like. She said, can I clean the room? Can I clean the room? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give me one second. So I went in there and I started pooping immediately. And then, honestly, 90 seconds later, like that, and I go, hold on, hold on. I go, I'm coming, Carrie. Like that.

[David Dobrik]

You know her name now?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, her name's Carrie. And then I say, hold on, and she goes, okay, okay.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, that's funny.

[Jason Nash]

And then finishing up pooping. And then she just opens the door.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, wow.

[Jason Nash]

She just comes in. And so then I shut the door on her and I'm like, no, no, not now, Carrie. Not now.

[David Dobrik]

That's really.

[Jason Nash]

It was crazy.

[David Dobrik]

That's really, really funny.

[Jason Nash]

Have you ever had that when the service is too good?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, but she did knock on my door, like, four different times yesterday. I was sleeping all day, and she kept knocking. Everyone was like, maybe just later, later, later, please.

[David Dobrik]

I haven't had that problem at all. Normally, like, I'm always getting locked in on. I deadbolt at my doors, though.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, that's good.

[David Dobrik]

I think that's what I have to do. But normally when I'll deadbolt my hotel room, they'll still open the deadbolt and.

[Ilya]

They'Ll be like, hello?

[David Dobrik]

And they'll, like, yell through the deadbolt.

[Jason Nash]

But, yes, yes.

[David Dobrik]

But, yeah, no, I've been getting pretty good privacy here, which I've been shocked about. Did you ever think you'd come to Sweden?

[Jason Nash]

No, I'd never come here.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I was very surprised.

[Jason Nash]

I wouldn't have a reason to come here ever.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Nash]

If I was gonna go somewhere, I'd go to, like, France or Italy. But I was really glad to come. I think it's fun.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm really stoked that we, like, that we, like, checked off Sweden.

[Jason Nash]

It's so clean and there's no homeless people.

[David Dobrik]

It's very clean.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, everyone is very nice.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, you can't be homeless here.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's so cold.

[Jason Nash]

We walked to dinner tonight. I was like, there's not one homeless person.

[David Dobrik]

You can't be homeless here.

[Jason Nash]

What if I wanted to be?

[David Dobrik]

If you were homeless, you would move down.

[Jason Nash]

Move down where?

[David Dobrik]

You, like, move to South. I mean, the same reason there's more homeless people.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, you're saying cuz it's so cold.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Is that the reason?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'm sure that's for sure, brother.

[Jason Nash]

But Chicago has homeless people.

[David Dobrik]

That's a good point.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, that is a good point.

[Jason Nash]

Like what are they, what are they doing so much better than us? No guns, no homeless people.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Maybe, maybe it's just the economy. Like I feel like everything here is just so different from the U.S. you know?

[David Dobrik]

What was that? Oh, we met that person today. That was so interesting. She's. She's. First of all, their schooling here is free.

[Jason Nash]

Oh yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And she's going to study abroad in UCLA and this. And Sweden is paying for her tuition in ucla, which is crazy. Yeah, they're paying for her to study abroad and like at one of our schools.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, that blew me away.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. That's like Wyatt here, what a good deal.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So yeah, they definitely have figured things out here that are like next level.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Also just, just the idea of like not stealing, like they don't steal well.

[David Dobrik]

Then, you know, they still hang people.

[Jason Nash]

Here.

[David Dobrik]

At the ISO top.

[Natalie Mariduena]

How is that where you're at?

[David Dobrik]

Even goes well when I think of people the first, the thing when I think of when people don't steal is like the punishment must be crazy, right? Like that's why people are like in Dubai you can leave your phone here. It's like. Well, probably because the punishment is like you steal a phone and it's like five years in jail. Right. So like I assume that's what's going on here, right? I don't know.

Sell on Depop where taste recognizes taste.

[Jason Nash]

I just totally did not listen to what you were saying because I was thinking about something that I thought was so funny in your life. So, like, David takes the word dead ass really seriously and explain dead ass to everybody, because I didn't even know it. I guess everyone knows dead ass.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, everyone knows dead ass.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, everyone knows dead ass.

[Ilya]

People don't take it as seriously as.

[David Dobrik]

Is this the deadass where I totally. Ilia. I would go out party less.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So I made a deal with Ilia, right. Where I'm like, dead ass. I'm only going to go out party, like once a month. And it's. It's affecting me.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

I need to go out more because even. Even just for work. It's. It's very difficult to say, but my work is. So much of it is going out with people.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

That this is not working. And I'm six months into this dead ass. So you can, you can explain, Jay, because you.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah. So. So David says, dead ass. I'm not going to party anymore. And, and so Ilya's like, o, okay, great. And now David wants to, like, go out and party more, but he's got to go get dead ass clearance from Ilya.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So like, now I'm brokering a dead.

[Jason Nash]

Ass deal, which is you're a grown man. Like, if you want to go party more, just go party more. But, but, but dead ass is so important to you that you have to have, like a proper sit down with Ilya.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Which is so funny. And they did it the other night and I watched the sit down. David had it like a contract written out on his phone.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So the deal is. The deal is I get to go party one more night a week.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Or, sorry, a month.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But. And this is crazy, if you know me and if you listen to this podcast, you know, this is crazy that these are the stipulations. I have to work out three days of weightlifting and three days of cardio in exchange every week. And I have to get a DEXA scan every month.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Jesus.

[David Dobrik]

For Ilya in return.

[Jason Nash]

A DEXA scan every month.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Cause he wants to track my progress. But yeah. So, yeah. So that deal is Locked.

[Jason Nash]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

But, yeah, deadass. It really sucks. Cause, like, I'll give you something that I don't really like sharing. I fart sometimes.

[Jason Nash]

Okay. Yeah, we know you farted the other day and cleared us out.

[David Dobrik]

I fart. I farted.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Shut up.

[Jason Nash]

He farted so bad on the street, on the Swedish streets, on the Stockholm streets.

[David Dobrik]

And I don't like saying. I don't like saying that, even though I want to be a farter. If you listen to that podcast.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Shut up. That's disgusting.

[David Dobrik]

I want to be a farter so bad. I'm so jealous of people that are like, I farted. Or like, here it comes. Like, Zane's so good at zay.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Gross.

[David Dobrik]

We could be around a girl he likes, and Zane's like, pull my finger. Or, like, count down from three.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I get so jealous of that. Cause I'm like, if you can pull that off, like, don't be like, you have no fear in life.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Probably, like, Zane's biggest flaw is the farting on command.

[Jason Nash]

Anyway, I think it's kind of cool.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I really keep it to myself. It's not until you guys hit me with the dead ass. It is a serious dilemma, because it's like. It's really, like. I think farting is, like, something you should really keep to yourself, like, 100%. I also live by dead ass. So, like, Alex hit me with the dead ass yesterday. He's like, was that you? And I'm like, yes, yes, it was me.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

That word is so fucking powerful to me that it could. I mean, yeah, it does anything.

[Jason Nash]

I never pull out Deadass. I guess I could.

[David Dobrik]

I don't think I, like. I, like, lie to you. Okay. I don't think we have the situation. Zayn hates dead ass.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I kind of hate it too, sometimes.

[David Dobrik]

And he always makes it so clear because, like, Zane will say something like, oh, did you hear there's an airstrike on Los Angeles?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I'll be like, dead ass. And he'd be like, no, dude, fuck you. Fuck you. No, he's on airstrike, but fuck you. It's funny because, like, Zane doesn't even have to do dead ass.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, I know that.

[David Dobrik]

He kind of just, like, does it because, like, we all do it. So, like, by default, like, he's like. He's kind of sucked into it too. He could easily opt out of it.

[Jason Nash]

You think he'll be, like, 80 years old doing dead ass.

[David Dobrik]

Me?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I just told Lily I want to change the word.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah. What you change it to?

[David Dobrik]

I want it to be something more like highbrow. Because. Because dead ass is so real. It's so goofy.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

For how much it means.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like it's very like religious to me.

[Jason Nash]

But you'll never be able to change it.

[David Dobrik]

But it's so. Yeah, I know. I won't.

[Jason Nash]

You won't. It's like when you wanted to change the name of the vlog squad.

[David Dobrik]

Oh my God.

[Jason Nash]

It was already written in stone, brother.

[David Dobrik]

Oh my God. Change the name of the vlog squad.

[Jason Nash]

You and Scott wanted to change it.

[David Dobrik]

That was the bang. That was the fucking.

[Jason Nash]

Dude.

[David Dobrik]

When people come up to us on the stream, they're like, vlog squad. I'm like, zane, hi. I always look at Zane every time someone says vlog squad. Because I'm like, ah.

[Jason Nash]

That'S the cool thing about being older. I'm like, yeah, cool. Vlog squad. That sounds great.

[David Dobrik]

There's this guy my sister just texted me. Can you mute my story please? I'm posting about your gift. Should we check it out, what it is? So there's this guy I met that he made a TikTok about me and he was like looking for me. He's like, I really like watching his videos and I have to find him in Switzerland or Sweden and he found me and then he made a TikTok with me saying, how many likes for me to spend a day with you in LA? 16 year old kid. And he says, I'll fly out to LA to hang out with me. And I said like a million. Currently it's sitting at 362,000. It's pretty fucking crazy.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's crazy.

[David Dobrik]

3,000 likes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's a lot. How many views does it have?

[David Dobrik]

Not a lot. It's like, it's getting really good. 1.7.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

So it's getting a lot of good.

[Jason Nash]

People are really, what will you do with.

[David Dobrik]

What will I do with him? Yeah, I mean I told him, I was like, listen, if you come hang out with me in la like we're doing nothing, you're gonna get the real David day. Like it will be me on the couch.

[Jason Nash]

Ooh, fun.

[David Dobrik]

Like I'm not. It's not gonna be like we're going to Six Flags now. We're taping J.C. to the wall. It's gonna be very low brow.

[Jason Nash]

It'll be like Tay bringing in two sandwiches. You guys eating the sandwiches next to each other. You offering if he wants one?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, it's exactly, it's gonna be exactly that. He's Gonna leave disappointed. Yeah, this is. This is not this funny. It doesn't even have an accident. I don't know why I'm doing that, but. What should we talk about? The future of this podcast.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So what's gonna happen the next couple weeks?

[Jason Nash]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

So we're doing two a week. I'm still sticking to it, but we may lose Jason for a couple. Do you want to write in and I'll just read statements from you?

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

Like, maybe, like, every. Yeah, every podcast. You can. You can even send me a voice message. Probably better if you write in.

[Jason Nash]

Do you want to do it over computer?

[David Dobrik]

Like zoom? No, I think it's better if, like, I just, like, knock it out with, like, Natalie and Ilya, whoever is around.

[Jason Nash]

Should we do a best of on Thursday?

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jason Nash]

You don't like that?

[David Dobrik]

I think best of is, like, so cheap.

[Jason Nash]

You think that's so lame.

[David Dobrik]

So lame.

[Jason Nash]

I don't think so. I think that's so fun.

[David Dobrik]

We're not Sports center, dude. You can't do it.

[Jason Nash]

I used to love that when my favorite radio show would. If you listen every day and then they would. At the end of the year, you'd be like, oh, right. That was so fun. Oh, that was so fun.

[David Dobrik]

I could see that. Because we've had pretty good moments.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Like, you would put in, like, you know, your butthole. You'd put in Natalie, the coke can.

[David Dobrik]

This year of podcasting, for some reason, has been the most memorable for me.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, Cassie, I had to do it so much.

[Ilya]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's because I've done it a lot and. Cause it's like, because we were doing three vlogs a week, so this was, like, so bottom of my priority.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

And now, like, actually think about these.

[Jason Nash]

Thank you.

[David Dobrik]

But, like, no, no, no.

[Jason Nash]

So didn't care about it.

[David Dobrik]

You were doing the vlogs with me. I grouped both of us into that.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But. But yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

What the hell is Guava Glow?

[David Dobrik]

Definitely, like, fragrance. Fuck those hand sanitizer bottles.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't know why that's not a hint. Like, it's. It's a fragrance brand, you know?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, really?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, that's the fragrance. I actually wear them.

[Jason Nash]

Do you want to.

[David Dobrik]

I bought hand sanitizer at the airport, and I've been using it for this entire trip, and I just found out it's a fragrance mist that I've been spraying on my hands, and I've been spraying it on my hands before I go eat and too, which sucks. So I've never been washing my hands. I've just been adding fragrance to the bacteria. It's, it's shaped like one of those newer hand sanitizer bottles. It's pissing me off. Yeah, they gotta make that clear. But, Jay, so what are you gonna be? What are you doing for the next. What are your plans for the holidays?

[Jason Nash]

I'm going to Boston. I'm gonna see my family, so. My mother, my mother. Yeah, we, I, I, I gotta see my mom. Sucks. She's getting old.

[David Dobrik]

Gotta see your mom. Where does the comma go there?

[Jason Nash]

Gotta see my mom, period. Sucks, comma, she's getting old. Exclamation point, I think. Yeah, exclamation point.

[David Dobrik]

Gotta see. Because I thought you were, you were saying, gotta see my mom. It sucks.

[Jason Nash]

No, no, no, no.

[David Dobrik]

She's old, period. Fuck her.

[Jason Nash]

But it's like, you have limited time left, you know? Like, my, I had a really, really good friend lose their dad and recently, and she was like, go. She's like, you don't have a lot of time. I was like, oh, oh, wow, Right?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I thought about the other day. I was, I don't know why I was thinking about this, but I was like, I just was having this moment about, like, my mom dying. I think I was watching something on the plane and I started, like, crying. Even though she's not dying.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[Natalie Mariduena]

But just, like, the thought of it was, like, really sad.

[Jason Nash]

You have a lot of time left with Jen. She's not going anywhere.

[Natalie Mariduena]

She talks about, she's like, natalie, I'm gonna die soon. Like, she, like, she prepares me.

[Jason Nash]

How long her mom live?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Her mom's still alive.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, she's not going anywhere.

[Natalie Mariduena]

My great grandmother lived till she was like, 95.

[Jason Nash]

What's Jen saying?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. We have that much longer with Jen. Her mother's still alive.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Her mom's still alive. My great grandmother just died like, two years ago. My great grandmother Mary.

[Jason Nash]

Dwayne is strong, huh?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, that.

[Jason Nash]

Damn.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. That's crazy, man. You're gonna be around, Nat. How are you gonna live on Earth without me?

[Natalie Mariduena]

All right.

[Jason Nash]

Are you dying?

[David Dobrik]

It's looking like a. Yeah. If the Meriduanos are this strong, I don't think the dobriks last this long.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

I mean, life expectancy, your grandma lived a long time.

[David Dobrik]

Life expectancy in Slovakia is very, very low. It's like 30.

[Jason Nash]

Well, that's the country. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

[David Dobrik]

It's not like that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

30.

[David Dobrik]

No. But I don't know. I don't no. My grandma didn't live that long.

[Jason Nash]

She was, like, 80.

[David Dobrik]

No, dude, she was young.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, she was.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, she was, like, 60.

[David Dobrik]

She was, like, 70. Yeah, 60. She was your age.

[Natalie Mariduena]

65.

[David Dobrik]

I'm not even kidding. She was quite young. So I don't think. Yeah, I think Natalie's looking like it by her stats, that Natalie will outlive me. Are you gonna be sad or are you gonna be happy?

[Ilya]

I don't know.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We'll see when we get there.

[David Dobrik]

I love asking Taylor what. I love asking Taylor what she's gonna do after I die. She gets really serious about it.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. It's really funny and really sweet. She goes, can you please stop saying that?

[Jason Nash]

That's cute. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, dude, Taylor's the best.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I hope she's doing okay.

[Jason Nash]

You haven't seen any of your roommates or Taylor haven't been home three days.

[David Dobrik]

In three days. Okay, guys. All right, so for the next couple podcasts, just get ready. Jay may not be on it. Maybe write in topics or DM Jason that you want him to address. We'll get his opinion on it, and then I'll talk about it, and I'll say I'll argue with Jay without him being in the room and see who you want to replace Jay for the next couple weeks. Actually, just the next podcast will be without Jay. Then you'll be back for Tuesday.

[Jason Nash]

No, because you're going away.

[Ilya]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then you'll disappear again later.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But I think we're gonna figure it out. All right, guys. Okay, well, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you, guys for listening. We'll see you for the next one. Bye. Bye. From Sweden.
