1. Classic Dobrik Riddles & Venmo Antics

• [01:06 - 03:18]: David introduces the episode by challenging Taylor to a "can't say no" riddle for $20, a recurring prank among friends. The bit involves playful banter about how easy it is to trick people into saying "no."
  • Memorable Quote:
    • David: "I genuinely think there's not a single person in the world that would not say no." [05:14]
    • Jason (about monetizing the game): "You could probably do, like, 116 in a night." [05:49]

2. Overthinking Jokes & Food Analogies

• [06:23 - 07:52]: David overanalyzes the “Why did the chicken cross the road?” joke, interpreting it as a reference to arranging food on a plate rather than an anti-joke. The group teases him for his convoluted logic, highlighting the absurdity and playfulness of their discussions.
  • Memorable Quote:
    • Alex: "Dude, I'm so fucking high right now. This is really fucking me up." [07:35]

3. Awkward Kiss Stories and First Date Moves

• [08:25 - 11:16]: The crew dives into first date etiquette, specifically discussing first kisses, physical boundaries, and the “right” time for a butt grab. David and friends openly debate what's normal, with anecdotes about memorable (or baffling) first kisses.
  • Notable Exchange:
    • David: "When do you grab the butt? Do you know what I mean? At what point in the makeout is it okay to go for the butt?" [09:41]
    • Taylor: "I would say never." [11:21]

4. Natalie’s Dating Style & The “Free Time” Conundrum

• [12:04 - 17:06]: Natalie reveals she's seldom been on traditional first dates; rather, her romantic life is more impulsive, leading to a larger discussion about work-life balance and the guilt of taking time off. David frames time off as lost income, but friends argue for the benefits of rest for long-term productivity.
  • Memorable Quotes:
    • Naveen: "That free time or, like, having a Friday off could make you more money in the long run. Because you're letting your brain kind of reconfigurate." [16:28]
    • David: "It is the easiest thing to throw another thing at me... My entire brain is wired. No sleep. Nothing. This is all I'm doing." [21:39]

5. Entourage, Gen Z, and Nostalgia for Simplicity

• [23:19 - 26:37]: Jason shares an article about why Gen Z is fascinated by "Entourage", sparking a reflection on how the show is a time capsule of “pre-content” adulthood and the allure of simpler, less documented lives.
  • Jason: "Entourage is a time capsule for the last era before every interaction became content... When every night out needed to be content—kids watch it now because it's the last vestige." [24:03]
  • Natalie: "Just like a simpler life." [26:32]

6. Living at Home in Your 20s – Changing Attitudes

• [26:48 - 30:11]: They debate the rising trend of young adults living with parents, challenging outdated stigmas and discussing cultural variations—especially in countries like Slovakia and India.
  • Jason: "Half of people under 30 live at home. That crazy?" [26:52]
  • David: "I don't even think like that. I'm so much more woke than you." [30:04]

7. Jason’s Animated Project, "Nash Quest"

• [31:03 - 33:43]: Jason plugs his new children’s show, "Nash Quest," humorously fending off accusations that it’s just “Dora the Explorer” with a Nash twist. Natalie and friends discuss their roles as voice actors.
  • Jason: "We're making 10 episodes. It's called Nash Quest. It'll be out in September." [31:43]
  • David: "This is starting to sound a little too close to Dora." [33:11]

8. Deep Dilemmas: Dream Careers vs. Friendships

• [35:55 - 39:42]: Natalie asks: Would you give up your dream career or your closest friendship? Jason candidly recalls sacrificing his best friend for YouTube, and everyone debates what they’d choose.
  • Jason: "I gave up my best friend for my dream career." [36:17]
  • David: "If someone gave me that option the other way, I probably... Well, I guess it depends who's my best friend that day." [38:56]
  • Jason: "Don't you think those people are kind of rare?... Most people aren't giving like that." [39:42]

9. AI Predictions and Modern Romance

• [41:17 - 47:02]: The group riffs on the potential for AI to predict life outcomes, like who you’ll marry or even when you’ll die. David is surprisingly open to AI matchmaking.
  • David: "I would love to make it predictions, like, actually connect me to someone." [41:53]
  • Naveen: "But then you're losing out on the figuring out if someone's... I don't care." [42:04]
  • David: "Just give me the whole thing where we're watching movies. Like, skip me to the part..." [42:14]
  • Jason: "How cool would that be for people... Not only pairing you up with a human— like, pairing you up with an activity or a task..." [45:11]

10. Prenups and Commitment in Modern Marriage

• [47:21 - 49:55]: The pros and cons of prenups, romance versus practicality, and how perspective changes with age and accumulated wealth.
  • David: “I don’t think a prenup kills the vibe that much. I think once you get a little older, you do realize…there’s always a chance [things go wrong].” [48:11]

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• On Simpler Times:
  • Jason, on why Gen Z likes Entourage:

Overall Tone & Takeaway

The episode is classic VIEWS—irreverent, meandering, honest, and intermittently touching. While filled with their usual absurd humor, it also touches on real dilemmas about career, dating, the lure of certainty via AI, and what it means to make “grown-up” choices in a world that’s constantly shifting.

David’s crew continues to build out a conversational space where no topic is too big, too small, or too silly, always blending introspection with laughs and some (occasionally accidental) wisdom.

This engaging episode is a must-listen for fans of candid conversations, offbeat insights, and the hilarious chaos that David Dobrik, Jason Nash, and their crew always deliver.

John also will. John will, like every week. I have to Venmo him, right?

Like, I venmo him, like, $800, because he's hired people to do things around the house, and it's like, really hard to keep track of now. He's had to, like, be like, are you sure you're, like, adding these numbers?

[D]

So annoying.

[A]

Here, got you, got you. Wait, you don't. You don't think that was a riddle? That was so good.

[G]

It's in the riddle family.

[A]

All right, let's do Alex. Okay.

[G]

Al.

[A]

I hate how he chews. Look at how he choose.

[D]

I know, I know.

[G]

How does he chew?

[A]

He keeps the food, like, at the bottom of his gum. Oh, that's not why you're. That's why you're so bad at chewing.

[E]

Wait, why?

[A]

Where do I keep it? You're putting it in between your gums. You're not.

[E]

Well, it just falls there.

[A]

It's not hitting your teeth, dude. Well, how.

[E]

Their teeth are, like, a quarter of an inch thin.

[A]

You have to keep there.

[E]

How do you keep the whole thing?

[G]

Whatever. Surprised you're alive. You don't know how to eat.

[A]

All right, ready? You want to bet me $20 that I can get you to say the word? No.

[E]

This is really sad because I'll lose, and you already did it to me two days ago.

[A]

Oh, I did?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

F. Wait, did I get you to say it before?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Have I done.

[E]

Did everyone lose?

[A]

So have I done it to Julia?

[E]

Probably not.

[A]

Guys, we're bringing Julia. I feel like. I feel like Julia may know this one. All right, guys, Julia is here. John's a girlfriend. Julia. We're gonna skip right to the end of it. Okay. Right, Jay?

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And then you look up at the sky. How many stars are in the sky? 5 or 10?

[G]

10.

[A]

Wait, have you heard this before?

[D]

No.

[A]

It's so good.

[F]

Wow.

[E]

That was.

[C]

It's.

[A]

You know, why yeah, because there's, like, an instinct to prove to the person that you're doing. Like, the instinct is to prove to the person that you're doing a good job all on your own.

[G]

Yes. Yes.

[A]

So you want. You have to say no. It's just, like. It's not. I don't think there's a single person.

[G]

I'm bringing the security guard in.

[A]

I don't think there's a single person in the world.

[E]

Probably depends on the delivery, too. If you have John be the host.

[A]

I don't know. I think you're delivering great. I genuinely think there's not a single person in the world that would not say no.

[G]

You think you could make, like, 400 bucks in a night with that game?

[A]

You're looking at ways to make money.

[G]

You think you could go to a party and, like, just rack up, like, 20 bucks from, like, you should do it.

[A]

Can you do.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Can you do it this weekend?

[G]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know if people will pay me.

[A]

I mean, I feel like that's, like.

[G]

I guess they have to.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

All right, I'll let you know how many people.

[A]

No, everyone. Jay. It's. Everyone's instinct is gonna be to, like, prove to.

[G]

Yeah, but how much money do you think I can get?

[A]

If you do 20 bucks a game, you could probably do, like, 116 in a night.

[G]

You think?

[A]

Yeah, easy. Imagine you just do this full time. Jay, we know. We know you do this. You've taken money from all our friends. Please stop coming to the house. Random house parties. I called Alex the other day, so, you know, a lot of times I have realizations of, like, things like. Like, the other day, I told you that deodorant is like de odor. Like, you're deodorizing something. So I thought about this the other day. You know the joke? That's. Why did the chicken cross the road? Okay, what's the answer, Jay?

[G]

To get to this side, to get

[A]

to the other side. And, like, I've always thought in my head that the joke was that there is no joke. It's like an anti joke. But then I was thinking about it, and then I was like, oh, my God. The joke is you're crossing the chicken from one side, like your cranberries, and you're pulling it over to the other side. Like, side. Mashed potatoes aside, cranberries aside.

[E]

Right.

[D]

What. Why are you pulling chicken?

[A]

Because you're trying to. With your fork, you're trying to get the cranberry sauce also on the piece of chicken and you're also trying to get the mashed potato.

[D]

Why would that be exclusive to chicken?

[A]

Well, it just. It's like a thank you, Natalie. It's like a food. Anyway, so Alex is here because I called him. I called him and I told him this whole thing. And at first I texted him, it was 2:30am I'm like, are you up? It's important.

[G]

Oh my God, I wish I got that too.

[A]

And he's like, yeah, I'm up. And I FaceTimed him and I tell him the whole thing and I'm like. And I'm like. Cause it's getting to the other side. And then Alex goes side

[F]

for a

[A]

really long time and I'm like letting him process it. And then like maybe 3 seconds go by of just silence and he goes, dude, I'm so fucking high right now. This is really fucking me up. Like the most inconvenient. Did you get what I was saying?

[E]

Yeah, after you explained it. But you were trying to like get me to understand your point without.

[A]

Do you understand my point or is it silly?

[E]

I understand it, but I just think it's so.

[A]

It's a far fetched.

[E]

Yeah, right?

[G]

Yeah, it's so far fetched your brain is crazy.

[A]

God damn.

[G]

To get to the other side. So you don't want the chicken to touch anything.

[A]

Yeah, like it's time to the food. I don't know. Yeah, Maybe it is an anti joke. I don't know where it stemmed from.

[G]

No, it definitely is.

[A]

I want to get to the bottom.

[E]

Did you look it up?

[G]

It's.

[A]

Yeah, it's an anti joke.

[G]

Your way. It's.

[B]

I was wrong,

[A]

but I still believe Google's right.

[G]

Your way is like an anal retentive joke.

[A]

What do you.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah. It's like an OCD joke.

[G]

Yeah. Joke.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Maybe that's why I got it. Yeah, I think so. Speaks a lot of me. Wait, so Al, I talked about this on the other pod. You kissed a girl the other day.

[E]

Oh my God, please.

[A]

No, no, no, I did. I didn't say what?

[E]

Yeah, of course not.

[A]

But like, I was just saying how, like I was. I said it because we were having movie night and I was trying to get you to say how the kiss went.

[E]

Right.

[A]

But like you couldn't explain it to me and that was like really frustrating me.

[E]

Like. Yeah, I'm not good at like remembering details, but it was good.

[A]

But like, why isn't that like, like a moment, like where everything's heightened and

[E]

you're like remembering nothing yeah.

[A]

Oh, like you just blacked out.

[E]

Yeah, but I don't know. I can try. Like, what more questions do you have?

[D]

Wait, when were you kissing someone?

[E]

Sunday.

[A]

Saturday.

[G]

You're being bro as hell right now.

[A]

What does that mean? I don't remember.

[G]

I was, like, just kissed her. But, yeah, if you have, like, dumb questions, ask them. No, no, I don't remember. Because it was so amazing. Because it was so amazing.

[A]

So amazing.

[G]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah, now he's just trying to deep

[D]

bro himself, but he's, like, broing harder.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, he's broing harder by trying to.

[E]

No, but that is actually, like, that's the truth.

[A]

Yeah, it was really amazing.

[E]

It was great.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

I haven't kissed a girl in 12.

[A]

He's, like, in a hole now.

[D]

You packed or, like, you, like, tongue?

[E]

No, like, no tongue. Just, like, small hold, leave.

[G]

Small hold, leave.

[A]

Do you ever. Okay, here are some questions for the females here. When do you. When do you grab the butt? Do you know what I mean? At what point in the makeout is it okay to go for the butt?

[G]

If I listen to this podcast for the first time and heard you, like, let's say there's, like, a girl that listens and, like, maybe the husband, like, yeah, new boyfriend.

[A]

Yeah. He'd be like, play me your favorite podcast. And she's kind of embarrassed, but she's like, yeah, maybe I should.

[G]

He'd be like, so, like, the lead guy, the guy that, like, talks the most. Does he have brain damage?

[A]

Right.

[D]

When is it appropriate to go for the butt? I mean, like,

[G]

yeah, like, when finally Natalie gives her expertise.

[D]

Let me.

[A]

I brought this girl up the other day. I kissed. I kissed a girl that was going to Italy, like, a long time ago, about a month and a half ago. And I don't think you're going. She had me grab her butt during the first kiss.

[G]

Oh, she took your hand and put it on her butt?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. First kiss.

[E]

Damn.

[A]

And then I, like, slid it back up. Cause I was like, this is crazy. And she's like, no, don't be scared.

[D]

Shut the fuck up.

[A]

And I was like, whoa, I'm not scared. No, but, yeah, okay.

[G]

And then her husband's like, yeah, grab it a little harder.

[A]

No. Yeah. So I thought that was a little strange, but I. But I was. But I was like, oh, this kind of makes sense, actually.

[D]

Also, I mean, maybe she just wanted you to know that she really liked you.

[A]

Really?

[D]

This is serious.

[A]

Have you. Is your butt grabbed during first kisses? Have you had your first kiss yet? I don't know.

[D]

No. During first kiss, I would say. No, I would say never.

[A]

And when. Okay. And when someone is dropping you off from a date, do you feel inclined to give them a kiss?

[D]

I've never had somebody drop me off from a date.

[C]

What?

[D]

Other than like, someone I'm dating? I guess. But do I feel inclined to kick them?

[A]

Yes. Well, you've never had a first date where someone's dropped you off?

[E]

No.

[G]

Natalie, that's crazy.

[E]

Meaning they just come in?

[A]

Meaning they come in.

[D]

No, I've never had. I've never.

[A]

And grab your ass and rub your ass. I never just had a kiss. I'm getting plowed.

[F]

No.

[D]

I've never been on a date like that.

[B]

Excuse me.

[G]

What?

[A]

This gets really sad.

[D]

Other than someone that I've then dated.

[A]

Natalie, you went on a date with this guy. Who? The guy, you know, Ryan's friend. You know, he went on a date.

[D]

That wasn't a date. That was just a hookup.

[A]

Oh, okay. Now, what about cocaine? Wait, that is strange.

[D]

I've never been on a date.

[A]

I feel like this is why I don't understand you.

[G]

I'm, like, so baffled by all you guys.

[E]

Okay?

[G]

I mean, I'm baffled by Dave. I'm baffled by Al. I'm baffled by Natalie. I'm baffled by Taylor.

[A]

Okay, so now I'm confused because last podcast you were talking about your dating issues, but now I'm putting things together, and now I'm realizing that the only time that you actually are into a guy and it's reciprocated, it just turns into, like, fucking at night. And I'm, like, connecting all the dots and I'm like, oh, my God. This has happened more times than one would expect.

[G]

She's giving it up too early.

[A]

No, no, no, no. I don't even know if that's what that might cause. I don't think she gives it up too early. I just think, like, I don't know,

[D]

I don't, like, see or talk to anybody for several months, and then if I go out and I'm just, like, feeling myself, I meet somebody and, like, I probably will hook up with them. It's happened very, very few times. So, like, that's when it. That's when that happens. I don't, like, go on dates.

[A]

Oh, okay. So that's the problem. Naveen, remember last pod, you were.

[F]

Yeah. This is what's going on.

[D]

Natalie, thank you.

[F]

Will meet someone and maybe like them, but not be forward. I feel like you're, like, so chill and just, like, oh, whatever happens. Like, and then you'll maybe have a drink and then you kind of, like, are more yourself and, like, more confident and you'll be like, oh, hey. And then it becomes hard.

[A]

You need to get hammered during the day.

[F]

You need to day drink and be like, take me on a date. I'm free Friday.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, you should start going on dates. I mean, obviously not during the work week or the work weekend or the

[G]

work month or nighttime playing COD or

[A]

no business.

[D]

No, I'm definitely like, this is part of a bigger conversation. I need more free time.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah, we should talk about that.

[C]

Shark.

[G]

We will talk about that. What kind of free time can you offer our girl Nat?

[D]

Yeah. Let's have this negotiation.

[A]

So much free time. I don't even wanna fucking.

[G]

I sent her text and you didn't. You totally just didn't listen to it.

[E]

Wait, what?

[G]

I said, natalie, take the week off, David. Come to my house. We're gonna work on a cartoon.

[A]

It's so. It's weird though. Cause it's like Natalie's week off, like, it's in best interest sometimes for her to not take the week off.

[G]

Why?

[A]

Because Natalie's the. It's like classical manipulator.

[D]

Tell me, David.

[A]

Well, Natalie's job is strictly. Not strictly, but Natalie's job is. She gets immediate feedback.

[G]

You literally should teach a master class in this. Hi, I'm David Dobrik.

[A]

No, Natalie gets immediate gratification from her job. Right. So if she pulls in something, she takes a commission. Her salary is strictly based on how much she is working.

[G]

Sure.

[A]

Right. For the most part.

[G]

Okay.

[D]

And I think I make enough. I could just like, scale it back a little bit.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And as her friend, I'm like, stop scaling it back. Full force ahead.

[G]

Right.

[A]

So, like. Yeah.

[G]

You could crack it open.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Not for me, for your bank account.

[A]

To the way I see it, like when I, like, let's say I used to do something that made me $10,000.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Or let's say, like, I had like a weekly job that was like I was making $10,000 a week doing that job. And then I was like, maybe this week I don't want to do it. I'm going to take a break. All I'm thinking about is that whatever I'm doing is like, it's costing me $10,000.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Because that money was already like, that money's coming to me, and now I'm just like, saying no to it. It's costing me money. I'm pulling it away from My destiny. I'm pulling it out. I'm like. I'm taking it out from the future. So that's how I look at Natalie. It's like, free time. I get it. But it's, like, directly. It's directly benefiting her to not have free time into work because it just. It's not like I pay her 100 grand a year, and then I'm like. And then I'm like. And I'm holding her hostage.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

The more she works, the more she makes.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there might be just some time that, like, out of 52 weeks.

[A]

Totally, totally.

[G]

If somebody gets.

[D]

You're scaring Naveen right now.

[A]

Is there no, like.

[F]

Because you can't think like that.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

It's a bad way to think. Like.

[F]

Cause that free time or, like, having, like, a Friday off.

[A]

Yeah. Could make you more money in the long run.

[F]

That will make more money.

[A]

I agree. I agree.

[F]

Because you're, like, letting your brain kind of, like, reconfigurate and be like.

[G]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[A]

No, no, I was actually gonna say that, Naveen.

[D]

I was getting there.

[A]

So, Natalie, you should take a lot more time off. No, no, no. I do get that. I don't think like that, though. But, yeah, I know that that's real, and I. And I do believe in it. I just, like, can't get myself. I don't think Jason works like that either. It's crazy that you think. No, Jason definitely doesn't think like that.

[G]

I don't. And I, too. And I need to. She's right. Like, if I do take, like, Saturday and Sunday off, I find that, like, my Monday is, like, incredible.

[A]

Well, yeah, Like, Jay, like, you'd rather take. You'd rather take five jobs throughout the week that make you $1,000.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Than, like, resting and trying to come up with an idea that'll make you way more. Right.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Because you're like, this is here. This is for sure. And I can.

[G]

This is what I can do.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

I haven't met anybody that takes more rest and relaxation days than you, my friend. So for you to say that recovery isn't important as fucking crazy.

[G]

Yo. I got a call to work on a project on Friday. I got, like, an emergency call to help you with one of your projects. And I was struggling with my own thing that I was working on. We were working on a blog.

[A]

And. And wait, what was the project?

[G]

I don't want to say. But you know what? It was. Okay.

[A]

I'm Trying to think. I don't remember.

[G]

It's a project you're working on with Ferris. And Ferris was like, can you, can you work on this? And I was kind of like, okay.

[A]

Oh, we hired you to write on it.

[G]

You hired me for one day.

[A]

Okay, okay, okay.

[G]

And I came two days.

[D]

Okay.

[G]

And then, and then I was like, where's David? And Ferris is like, oh, he's that Spider Man.

[A]

I was like, what the fuck?

[G]

What do you mean, he's that Spider Man? I'm like, I, I, I'm, like, trying to, you know, make as much money as I can. And I'm like, why the is he at Spider man and I'm working on this thing?

[F]

That's why he makes the most money, because he has that mentality.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

You have to go see Spider Man.

[A]

But that's just Spider man, right? Like, that's like, yeah.

[G]

If you try to tell me that Spider man is just so important.

[A]

Well, no, it's, it's Marvel movies.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And movies. Like, maybe Pixar movies and, like, Christopher Nolan movies are all up there with things that I need to see.

[G]

Totally, man. But, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I get it.

[G]

But, like, why weren't you there, like, helping me?

[A]

I didn't know that you were coming. And then when, When Ferris.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

Oh.

[A]

Oh, I know what this was. This was for the shoot at the nice house.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I was never going to that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was never going.

[G]

Yeah, but it's your project.

[A]

I asked him, I was like, how is the shoot? And he was like, it was great. I had Jason coming right in. That was the first time I even heard about that. Yeah, he's like, I had Jason coming in. Right on, right on it. I didn't even. Like, that was like a strictly Ferris thing. And he may have lied to you and said I was gonna be there. Maybe you just assume.

[G]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[A]

Assumed.

[G]

No, he didn't. No, I knew. I knew you were fucking anything to do with it. You wanted to be fucking 5,000ft away from it.

[A]

Yeah, if I'm at Spider Man. I mean, just look at the premiere dates. December 18th. I'm gone.

[C]

Okay.

[G]

I'll put in my calendar. Okay. And the 19th.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Well, when you see it a second

[A]

time, I'm gonna re. Watch. Other than that, like, I'm probably just napping. And if you really need me, wish. Wake me up.

[G]

Yeah, I did the podcast the other day, and then you did the podcast, which was great. But then, like, you were Just back to sleep.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I've been having a really weird.

[G]

You complained one day, you're like, I just got up from nap. I can't do the podcast. So then I came back the next day and you did do it. And then I finished it and I wanted to, like, be like, hey, the podcast is done. You were just fucking knocked out.

[A]

I don't know what's going on.

[G]

And now she's dead inside.

[A]

I'm sleeping.

[G]

I gave Nat a look and I was like, gonna make a joke. You're like. You're, like, passed out next to Nat. And Nat. Nat just had no words. She's just like. Her eyes are just like, fucking kill me.

[A]

Like, that was.

[G]

We didn't say anything, but that was the message she sent to me.

[D]

Like, I remember the look I gave you because that was exactly what I was feeling inside.

[G]

She's like, fucking. She didn't say that, but it felt like it put a pull in my head right now. In my misery.

[A]

I don't know what's going on. I've been sleeping a lot. Like a weird, weird, weird fucking amount.

[G]

What? What is that when you sleep a lot?

[D]

I think depression.

[A]

No, I think we've come from, like, we were filming a lot for a month and then we came to nothing.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's fudgeing me up. Like, I think I need to keep going to, like, not stop it. It sucks when you're, like, when you stop. Yeah, it sucks. It's tough. That's why I always have, like, such a weird thing about commending people that are super hardworking and then when they take up more things. Cause I'm like, it's like, so not impressive to get things done when you're hard working to me. Cause, like,

[B]

what.

[A]

Do you know what I'm saying?

[F]

I kind of get that.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

It's like, you're used to it and you're wired that way.

[A]

Yeah. Like, when Kevin Hart picks up a new project in Tequila and they're like, how does he do it all? I'm like, it's easy. That's all he does. What's hard is having to go to CVS when you have nothing to do all day.

[G]

That's difficult.

[A]

And take it from a guy.

[D]

Take it.

[A]

Take it from a guy who has worked extremely hard when he was doing the videos. It is the easiest thing to throw another thing at me and to throw another money project at me and to get me to go here and to. It's the easiest because my entire brain is wired. No Sleep. Nothing. This is all I'm doing. And it's impossible to break that cycle when you're resting. So yeah, that's why I don't find like hard working people impressive. And that's also actually why, like, I get frustrated with Ilya. Yeah. With the working out thing. Because I just like, I don't know, there's like a lot of. But yeah, that's all that's on me. That's just how I perceive things.

[G]

Wow, that's wild.

[A]

Yeah, I know.

[B]

I'm Hannah. I've lost 75 pounds in 20 months with GLP1s diet and exercise on row. I've gone from struggling to run a mile to running farther every day. You can access FDA approved GLP1s online, get the support you need to reach your weight loss goals. Go to Ro Co Weight to see if you qualify. I'm a paid RO partner. 20% average weight loss in one year. And non diabetics with obesity or overweight with a weight related medical condition versus 3.1% in placebo arm Rx only. To stay informed about serious side effects, go to Ro Co Safety.

[G]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[A]

of $45 for three months, $90 for

[G]

six months, or $180 for 12 month plan required $15 per month.

[A]

Equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy.

[B]

See terms.

[G]

Did you see this thing I sent you? It's why Gen Z loves Entourage.

[A]

Oh yeah, I didn't really understand that. What's Gen Z? First of all? Is that me? We're like on the couch earlier or younger? Is Gen Z younger than us? Okay, why do they love Entourage?

[G]

Entourage is a time capsule for the last era before every interaction became content. Every hobby a new possible stream of income. And every night out needed to just slow that down.

[A]

Every hobby.

[G]

It's basically saying like, kids watch Entourage now because it's like the last vestige of when you could like, become a celebrity and like, you didn't have to like, like go out and like film everything or you didn't have like. Now people feel like, if you're gonna let me Read it to you. I'm not doing good. Good.

[A]

Well, no, I. You sent it to me, and I didn't get it.

[G]

Entourage is making a comeback because it represents a version of young adulthood that has gone completely extinct, one that younger generations have never truly experienced and probably never will. Okay, so that makes sense, right?

[A]

Explain that.

[G]

Well, like, when you watch Entourage, it's like, Vince. Vince comes out. It's a very simple story. He's an actor. He comes out, he gets really good at being an actor, and he gets so famous that he can bring all his buddies with him and live this incredible life. Yeah, that's Entourage. The people are nostalgic for a version of life that feels less optimized, less documented, and more open to chance. Entourage preserves the final era of monoculture, you're saying?

[A]

Yeah. That has more optimized for chance is the life of Entourage.

[G]

No. When in Vince's case, becoming a movie star. When in Vince's case, becoming a movie star was universally understood. Was a universally understood dream. Vince didn't need to explain why he wanted to be an actor, and no one expected him to be anything else. It was enough. Now wanting to become excellent at a single thing feels like leaving opportunities on the table. In Entourage, the work creates celebrity. Today, celebrity often creates the work. It captures the last moments when everyone understood what it meant to make it, and the signifiers were simple and clear. That's really interesting.

[A]

Okay, explain that. Break it down, because I feel like I agree with half of it, and I don't agree with half of it.

[G]

Like, I guess what they're saying is, like, I like this sentence. Entourage is a time capsule.

[A]

Every time I keep asking you to. Well, I think every time I go explain it, I think it goes back to reading it.

[G]

No, because I want to get this one part. It starts with, really clear.

[A]

How long is this fucking thing? Whatever you're gonna say, I'm gonna go. Interesting.

[G]

Explain. All right, let's break it down. Let's break it down. Okay, so, yeah, I think I get it.

[A]

Fucking tell me, dude.

[G]

I think it's a. Do you get it?

[F]

Yeah. It's basically saying he just wants it. He definitely doesn't get it in these days. If you're an actor.

[G]

Sorry, go.

[A]

Sorry, I'm talking over you.

[F]

If you're an actor, you also have the pressure of being a social media personality. Plus, maybe you want to be a singer or put out a song, and maybe you want to do this other thing. Like, you're not just one thing.

[G]

It's like, when Kids go to the club now.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

It's like you're not just at the club. You're. You have to like, work and you have to. It's like hustle culture. It's like, man, I got to meet this guy. Or maybe I've got to make content while I'm at the club. It's like all that. So that's why Gen Z likes Entourage so much, because they don't do that. They just go to the club.

[D]

Just like a simpler life.

[G]

Just simple. Yeah, it's simplicity. That's all it is. Do you agree with that?

[A]

Okay. I kind of get that. Yeah.

[G]

Does that make sense?

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

I don't know. I thought it was really. No, no, no, it is.

[A]

We keep unpacking it because there's something weird I didn't agree with. You agree with it fully. I'm about to puke.

[D]

I know what you're blowing into my face.

[A]

You like that shit.

[G]

You know that half of people under 30 live at home?

[A]

Half of people under 30. Wow. That's crazy.

[G]

That crazy. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I don't know why you would move out. Who fucking cares?

[G]

I don't know. I mean, as much as I love my mom and dad, that was such a big thing. Really like, yo. To be on your own.

[A]

Okay. But I think that's.

[G]

I think to go get an apartment in New York City and like, like, it's you.

[A]

And I think that's changing though.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And I feel like it's. But like. Well, cuz you guys fucking. You guys, you fucking old people used to make us like, go to college. That's not even like really a thing anymore. Like in the.

[C]

Sorry.

[A]

In the same way it was. It's obviously still thing.

[G]

Blame me, man. I tried to tell Wyatt.

[A]

I know, but I'm just saying, like, even my parents were like, the old fashioned way of doing things is. It's very different. And I think especially with like Natalie and I's generation.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

When my kids are going to be like, I want to live here for a long time. I don't think I'm have a problem with that. And I don't. I feel like that's kind of like where the sentiment is online. It's like, yeah, the world's expensive and tough and hard and.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Why not just stay here?

[G]

Well, other countries, that is a big thing. You do stay with your family.

[A]

Especially like in India. Right? Isn't it India where you like, stay with your parents to like, until you're married. A lot of countries is like, until you're married, you stay with your parents.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

Or that whole thing where it's so wild that we. An old person gets old and we put them in a home.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Whereas, like, they don't do that in another country.

[A]

Even in Slovakia, like, where I'm from, like, where my family, like, the most they do is they move down the street from their parents. Like, they build a new house on the land because the land there is different.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

It's, like, disrespectful if you don't, like, stick around.

[G]

So. So what you're saying, Dave, is to all those kids that are living at home that are 26, it's cool.

[A]

Oh, for sure.

[G]

You're cool with that?

[A]

Yeah. What do you mean?

[G]

Yeah? I don't know. I'm not so cool with it.

[A]

What?

[G]

I just don't.

[D]

Well, I think there's a difference.

[A]

I don't think there's. Those kids.

[G]

Yeah. I don't know. I'm sure we have a lot of listeners that live at home, too.

[A]

You just hate them.

[D]

I think there's a difference.

[F]

Fuck you, Jason. I live at home.

[G]

I love my mom. Wait, Naveen's bro lives at home?

[F]

My brother lives at home. But he'll, like, how would your brother kill me? But 25, he's in his 20s, but he'll, like, tell people that he lives at home because he's, like, helping my mom and that he, like, owns the house. And it's like, you can't.

[G]

The other way around. It's her peanut butter for sure. It means mom's a crazy businesswoman.

[F]

It's just so funny how people like, like, so I do feel like he would be better if he got a place.

[A]

Wait, now, what were you saying?

[D]

Well, I think there's a difference between your kid graduates from college, is being lazy and not doing something, and is just taking advantage of being able to live at home versus, like, maybe they just want to save money for the first couple years or whatever.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

And they're. They have a job. At least they're pursuing something outside.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[G]

That's not how I read the statistic.

[E]

Oh.

[G]

I read it like, these motherfuckers are leashing off their parents and living at home and hanging out all day, which isn't necessarily true.

[A]

That's not how I heard that statistic at all when you said it.

[G]

Natalie's right. A lot of people, I'm sure, are just, like, they live at home. I mean, let us know in the comments.

[A]

Like, oh, that's weird that that's where your brain went.

[G]

That is where my brain went.

[A]

That is the old fashioned in you. Yeah, Yeah. I don't even think like that.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I'm so much more woke than you. You suck. No, but like, genuinely, like, well, you

[G]

moved out of your house. What the fuck are you talking about? You didn't stay with your parents.

[A]

Because my parents were old fashioned, okay?

[D]

I gave them an ultimatum.

[G]

Yeah, your parents threw you out.

[A]

I forgot my parents beat me. No, my parents were really great.

[C]

My parents.

[G]

Why did you say that?

[A]

Yeah, I know. Fucking come on. I gotta calm down with what I say.

[G]

I called your mom the other day to get her spelling of her name for the cartoon. She was so, so excited. She's like, I made it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

My mom asked me the other day. She's like, did I not make the cartoon? I'm like, I don't. First of all, I don't know. And second of all, like, why would you think you haven't made it? Like, premiere somewhere and you weren't at the premiere. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. Jason had my mom do a voiceover for a cartoon. And my mom's really holding onto this

[G]

thing, so I know we gotta find another. We gotta find another part for her.

[A]

But is she in the original?

[G]

She's in episode four, the Creation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Okay, good.

[G]

I offered her another part, you know, and she turned it down. Well, she's like. She's like, I don't sound. Like by accent, I can't do this one. And I was like, just try. Just try. She was like, no, no, no. You should get someone else.

[A]

That's really funny.

[F]

You asked me to be here, Jason. No, that's. You have to say, like, no, this part is for you.

[G]

Well, we did the part that was for her and then I offered her another part and she said, no, this one wasn't.

[A]

This one wasn't.

[F]

No. To be polite, you have to say, I insist.

[G]

Yeah, she was. She was self conscious about her accent.

[A]

You pay her a day, Right.

[G]

She's also listening. Hi.

[A]

Did you pay her a day? Right?

[G]

No.

[A]

Are you gonna give her a cut of it when it comes out?

[G]

Yeah, if we make any Money. We're making 10 episodes. It's called Nash Quest. It'll be out in September.

[A]

Nash Quest?

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[G]

Grab the map. What's next?

[A]

Have I seen it?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

The fuck? So this is out.

[F]

You haven't seen it?

[D]

No, no. But, like, are wearing it in the premiere.

[A]

What the fuck? You're actually in it?

[F]

Yes.

[D]

I was like, Basically, Dora the fucking explorer.

[G]

Yeah, she plays a little girl.

[A]

You're like, the main thing.

[D]

Yeah, it's Jason. Tom. How good I was.

[A]

Is it like, comedy?

[F]

No, it's, like, informational.

[D]

No, it's kids. It's kids animated. It's. It's Dora adjacent.

[E]

Excuse me?

[D]

Like, for episode that I'm in.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

Jason and Naveen are the parents that are exploring.

[A]

Exploring what?

[F]

But Jason looks like a kid in it.

[G]

We go to different countries each episode, so it'll be like.

[D]

Well, I just assumed the parents were.

[G]

We go to Greece, we go to New York City. We go to.

[A]

Wait, how did you come up with this? And you have a family?

[G]

No, we don't have a family in the show. We have a monkey.

[A]

Okay, did you just copy. What's Natalie's character's name?

[G]

Dora.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

I actually have never seen Dora. And then when I saw that there was a monkey character, I was like, guys, this is.

[A]

What do they get around using?

[G]

Huh?

[A]

Like, when they're lost, what do they use?

[F]

Backpack.

[D]

Backpack. Backpack.

[A]

Do they. Yeah.

[E]

How do you explore?

[A]

Do you have a map in your hand or.

[G]

No.

[D]

Swiper.

[C]

No.

[B]

Swiping.

[G]

We have a. Yeah, we have a. What is it, the Nash Encyclopedia or something?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, that's perfect. This is starting. Starting to sound a little too close to Dora, but whatever. How long are the episodes?

[D]

Dora needs an update.

[G]

Eight minutes.

[F]

Wow.

[G]

Yeah. So anyways, look for it.

[F]

Where?

[D]

Where?

[A]

Where the fuck would somebody look for this?

[G]

I don't know.

[D]

Just like.

[G]

I don't know.

[F]

It's on a streaming platform.

[G]

Just check this podcast. We'll tell you, but it'll be around. They want to do two more seasons.

[A]

Who's they?

[G]

This company they're doing shows with.

[A]

Like, are you just making things up?

[G]

No, I swear to God. They did a show with. They're doing a show with Dane Cook. Doing a show with Stamos. It's called Mover Studios. They're doing a show with the guy from Shark Tank.

[A]

Robert, they paid you for this season?

[G]

No, they didn't pay me anything yet.

[A]

Yet.

[F]

Yet.

[G]

But we're gonna make Jason and Naveen dolls.

[A]

I'm gonna try. You should get a neon sign that says at your house that just says not yet. That's your answer to everything.

[C]

I'm Serena Williams and I'm healthier on row. I've lost 34 pounds in a year. With GLP1's diet and exercise on ROE, you can access GLP1 options, including the first FDA approved GLP1 pill for weight loss, go to Ro Co Journey to see if you qualify. 14 to 20% average weight loss in one year in non diabetics with obesity or overweight with a weight related medical condition versus 2.2% to 3.1% in placebo arm RX only. To stay informed about serious side effects, go to Ro Co Safety.

[A]

Hey, I've got the campaign brief ready. Built from last quarter's data and the competitive landscape.

[D]

Approved. Oh, agents, where would we be without you?

[A]

Somewhere with a lot more tabs open.

[D]

Create your first Monday agent [e-mail]. i have a question for you guys.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

If you guys had to give up one of these things, which would you choose to give up?

[A]

I love these kinds of questions. These are my favorite. I also love. Well, I guess. Let me.

[G]

Oh, that's fun.

[A]

Let you have your moment, I guess.

[D]

Thank you.

[G]

You are the king. Oh, my God. So many times I've met in the podcast. Like, I mean, I don't know, Nat, what did you think about it? And that'll be like.

[C]

Well, I.

[G]

And. Yeah, but the other thing is. Sorry to drop you

[A]

because I don't lose my train of thought.

[G]

You'll literally toss it to her. Yeah, hold on.

[A]

It's hard to fill the 40 minutes. So, like.

[D]

So you're just doing that, like, as a courtesy? Like, you don't actually want to hear what I have to say.

[G]

Yeah, I do know what you're saying. Like, if you don't get out what you're gonna say, I better forget.

[A]

Yeah, I'm gonna forget. And it's nice that Natalie already has it. Wow. Totally doing this to her right now. And I did it as a joke first, but now I'm like, seriously in it.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

All right, well, we'll let you speak. Go for it.

[D]

Okay. If you had to give up one of these two things, what would you choose?

[G]

Love.

[A]

This is really good. What's good about it is.

[F]

Shut up, please.

[D]

Dear God. Okay. Your dream career or your closest friendship?

[F]

Oh,

[C]

y.

[E]

Wait, wait.

[A]

Say it again.

[D]

You have to give up one of these two things. Your dream career or your closest friendship.

[G]

I mean, I hate to be an awful person.

[A]

Wait, one of these two things. Oh, one of these two.

[G]

But I gave up my best friend for my dream career.

[A]

The what?

[F]

In a way, I thought I was your best friend.

[A]

Huh?

[D]

I'm just kidding.

[G]

Well, before you. I mean, my. My best friend Jeff, who I love so much. But then when I started doing YouTube, it became. It became really hard to, like, keep up that friendship. Yeah, because our. And I. I've explained this to him, like, a lot. We've. We've, like, hashed it out, and now we hang out a lot more now. But. But. But, yeah, it was just like. I just couldn't. It would be like, oh, can I. Like what David said. Can I go make $5,000 today or can I. Should I go hang out with Jeff?

[A]

Wow.

[G]

Yeah. Cold.

[A]

But then you guys rekindled.

[G]

Yeah, we. I see him a lot now, but.

[F]

Because you have a. Yeah.

[G]

Cause you have a podcast. But. But it's.

[A]

It's.

[G]

It's. It's. It's.

[A]

It's.

[G]

It's kind of sad, right?

[A]

Well, yeah, it's. That's a really tough question.

[G]

What would you do?

[A]

Dream career.

[G]

Yeah. Yeah. You're back in.

[D]

You're back in Vernon Hills dream life, essentially.

[G]

You never talk to John again.

[A]

I just feel like that's a really nasty. Like, that's just a nasty question.

[G]

It is nast from a nasty person

[A]

I hate. It's just like.

[D]

Because it's like, it's not meant to

[A]

be easy because I know if Illy and I answered it together.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Then I'd be fine with it because we'd make a decision together.

[G]

Yeah.

[D]

So he's your closest friend.

[A]

Oh, that's what this was. This was his test.

[D]

I got you.

[A]

That's not even a real question.

[D]

I got you. I'm out. I quit the Views podcast.

[A]

Okay, well, what's your dream career?

[D]

I'm just kidding. I'm living it, brother.

[F]

This is it.

[D]

Tap me up.

[A]

Let's go eight, if you could.

[D]

No, my dream career is you want to plant things.

[G]

You want to be a singer.

[D]

Yeah. Actually, that is my dream career. To be a pop star.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

You be. There we go. Would you give me up to be Fuck Yeah. All right, hold on.

[D]

To be a pop star.

[A]

Mumford and Sons.

[D]

Mumford and Sons. I fucking love Mumford and Sons.

[A]

No, they're really good, but cool play. I just didn't want you to think I was going like Taylor Swift, Coldplay level. Wanted someone a little bit. A little bit more like.

[D]

Yeah, I don't give a shit.

[F]

Really?

[G]

Wow.

[F]

Really?

[A]

You would do that?

[G]

You trade Dave for Mumford and Sons?

[D]

To be Mumford and Sons right now.

[A]

A genie came in you. Really.

[G]

I mean, let's.

[D]

I'm only going to go the other way because you're sitting right next to me, but, yeah, I think so.

[A]

Okay. I mean, honestly, I don't actually really blame you as much as I Could play, like, the other side. I feel like if somebody gave me that option the other way, I probably. Well, I guess it depends who's my best friend that day. Is it Natalie? Because I'd give. I'd be fucking anything instead of that. But no, I don't know if Nat came to me.

[G]

Let's say I was Nat's best friend and she was like, hey, look, I can never talk to you again, but I'm gonna be the lead singer. Mumford. I'd be like, go.

[A]

That's why I said if I did it with Ilya.

[G]

Yeah, I'm sure you would be like, go. Dave.

[A]

It's the.

[D]

It's the.

[A]

The question is phrased in a way where it's like you're doing it behind his back and you're.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And you're, like, spitting on him.

[G]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

But like, any best friend would be like, no, this is like, you got to go do this. Yeah, yeah.

[G]

Don't you think those people are kind of rare, Naveen? And I talk about that all the time.

[E]

Really?

[G]

I finally. I find that, like, most people aren't giving like that. Am I wrong?

[A]

Giving in like, just that they would give up their friendship with you. Giving.

[G]

Giving in everyday life. Like, I don't know. I think I'm pretty giving person, but. But. Or even, like, conversation. I feel like people are just kind of like sometimes I think not that even giving with that.

[A]

Oh, like they don't want to give you a conversation. Yeah, that's how I am. I don't like giving people conversations.

[G]

But you're the most generous person.

[D]

Aw.

[G]

So you don't fall. You don't fall in that.

[D]

Don't look at me.

[A]

I just like when someone compliments me. I always look at you.

[D]

Don't.

[G]

I complimented you last night with Blake and Charlie. What did I say? Went out with Charlie's best friend last night. I was talking about. With Gen Z. What did they say? We were talking about him and I said, oh, no, David's the actual best.

[A]

Oh, what? They were talking shit about me?

[G]

No, no, no, no, no, not at all. I was telling the story. What was I saying?

[A]

I was talking to them and they were like. And I was like, no, he's nothing like that.

[G]

I don't know. I think I was telling a story about the roommates from the podcast or whatever. Oh, right. And what did Charlie. And Charlie said something like, oh, David did that for him. And I was like, yeah. And she was like, wow. He's like, actually the goat. And I was like, no, no, he actually is.

[A]

What did I do for my roommate?

[G]

I can't remember that. What? You've done so many things for people. But.

[F]

Yeah, I don't remember.

[G]

But I could call Charlie and I

[F]

was on muscle relaxers and it was like a 9pm dinner.

[G]

Yeah, I was out.

[A]

I remember the word go. Well, thank you for putting me in the conversation of that.

[F]

I can do a quick question for both of you.

[C]

Okay. Go.

[A]

Hit me.

[F]

Okay. So AI is getting super advanced and they think that it's going to get to a point where it will be able to predict future things for you. So would you want to know, like, if it was, like, you could ask it literally, who do you think I'm going to marry? What job will I have in five years? Where will I live in 10 years? Like, would you be asking it or would you want to just do it by chance?

[A]

Is this like a genie question, too?

[F]

Like, no, it's like. It's like a real prediction that they think it can get. Like, it's getting so smart so fast.

[A]

I would love to make it predictions, like, actually connect me to someone.

[F]

You would?

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[F]

But then you're losing out on the figuring out if someone's.

[A]

I don't care.

[F]

Yeah. No, I feel that I don't care.

[G]

Nivi. I want to meet somebody. Yeah.

[A]

Like, I'm alone. I don't. I don't care for the. I don't care. Like, I don't. I don't need. I don't need the fucking magical. And then I saw her across the hallway. I don't need it. Just give me the whole thing where we're watching movies. Like, skip me to the part where I.

[F]

But then why would you not choose the person you're always watching movies with? The person that just went to go get a spray tan. Go stop her, Natalie. Yeah, just do it.

[A]

No, no, no, no.

[F]

Oh, this would be such a good episode.

[G]

No, no, I don't think that there. You're right on that. I hope I'm wrong, but my just.

[F]

My favorite thing is just when, like, best friends end up together, I think it's the key.

[A]

No, I don't think that's what he's talking about.

[G]

Oh, no, it is. Oh.

[F]

What?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Naveen, you are unfortunately wrong about that. It really, truly.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And Jason's mom, which really sucks because Jason's mom is like. I really do look up to the things your mom says.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

I just think she has so much experience. She's good, but she always says Me and Natalie gonna end up together.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm always like, fuck, Please don't say that. Because it, like, it makes me think that everything else you've said to me is also wrong. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's what stresses me out. I'm like. I'm like. I really respect all your, like, decisions. Yeah. But when you're getting something so completely wrong, it worries me that everything else has been wrong. I promise you, there. There is nothing. There's literally. It's nothing there. I don't know how she feels, but I can tell you right now, I would have to get smacked across the fucking. She's listening to this. Really sad. In the car, she's like. She's like, let me listen to the. She just left to go get a spray tan, by the way.

[C]

I wonder what.

[G]

She's just.

[A]

She's just talking about me. Yeah. I wonder what I missed after I left. I have to get fucking beat upside my skull for me to ever look at her, even for a second.

[G]

I would have to be run over by three tanks.

[A]

She had to be the last woman alive. And no other holes for me to. No, I can't. So that's not gonna work. But back to your little AI thing. Yeah. I'd love to meet a girl that way.

[F]

Little AI thing. This is gonna be a big thing.

[G]

Why can't AI help you find the person?

[A]

How.

[G]

How would it do it?

[A]

That's gonna have to mean we're, like, all on a database, and our smart homes are, like, tracking everything we do, right? Oh, like, something like. Like when you're, like. When your AI actually knows everything about you, like, better than you do.

[G]

That would be so crazy if. If, like, literally you guac.

[A]

Which is actually, like, sorry to cut you out.

[G]

No, go ahead.

[A]

All right, cool. Which is actually, like, actually probably a good thing for humanity.

[G]

Yeah, I think so, too. I think. I think you. You go to. You go to your AI one day, and they're like, David, you're not going to believe this. I found this girl in Austin, Texas.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

She's fudgeing into Iron Man. She's fucking all about five foot two. Yeah. She's five foot two, she's Latina. She's literally looking for somebody.

[A]

I don't like that.

[G]

That could be a thing.

[A]

The only thing is, obviously, it's scary that AI is like, so. You know, there's obviously the negative sides of that. But, like, how cool would that be for people that are really not feeling themselves?

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And, like. And not only, like, helping you pair up with, like, a human.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, pairing you up with, like, an activity or a task or, like, just some sort of North Star that you didn't even know that you, like, needed to, like, look. Look forward to or look at because you're so depressed, bro. I feel like it gets so many people out of their slum.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe no one's done that well.

[A]

It's too soon.

[F]

Also, the problem with it is you could have someone that likes all the things you like, but if you met them, you just don't feel it.

[G]

And that's something I could never do. Wow.

[F]

But it could make you believe, like, you. If you really wanted someone and they were like, this is your perfect match, I think you could get in the headspace, maybe. But then if you were out at the grocery store and you met someone you just had a crush, that feeling of the crush will, like, bypass.

[G]

So you're saying it could never be any better than Tinder?

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. It'll be better than Tinder.

[F]

No, I'm saying it's good.

[G]

A little good, but not. You're never. Not that feeling that David gets when he sees Natalie.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

That's what you're saying.

[A]

No, no, no. Not that massive reaction. It's. It's not that. She's saying the spark won't, like. Yeah, I can't detect a spark.

[G]

Right.

[A]

Which I get.

[F]

But, like, it would probably pair you with Natalie. It would be like, you guys go to the same places, you like the

[A]

same stuff, but it wouldn't be like.

[F]

I feel like, but what if it did? Would you then accept it?

[A]

No. No, you fucking weirdo. No.

[F]

I create a AI robot just for that. Like, try this out.

[A]

No, I talk. But. But even. Even if. Like. Even if it connected me with, like, 10 possible people, I don't know. I also think that there is. That. That there's a way to, like, figure that out where it's not just, like, all magic and sparks flying inside your heart. Like, I feel like maybe that can be done. What were the other parts of that question?

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

Oh, the biggest one is when you'll die.

[G]

Oh, I would not want to know that.

[A]

I don't want to know that either.

[G]

That's crazy.

[F]

And you would be able to ask if your partner is cheating how? I guess because it's, like, tapped into you. It's like, I think we all talk to the same.

[A]

How do you guys feel about prenups?

[F]

I get like.

[A]

Like, do I get one.

[F]

Yeah. Really should get. Well, it depends who you're marrying, really.

[G]

Well, yeah, that's true.

[A]

I would do it either way.

[F]

I feel like if you've built, like. Like, all this stuff and, like, you have your thing, like, I don't know. I think there's something not romantic about it, but I also get it, like, it's, like, your thing.

[A]

I mean, I always. I always say that I'm a romantic guy. At least I think I am. And I don't think a pretty prenup, like, kills the vibe that much. I think. I think it used to be, like, this, like, really negative thing, but I don't. I don't. I think people, like. I don't know. I think once you. Once you get a little older, you do realize that, like, everything could be a hundred percent incredible, right? Like, 1000% incredible. No doubt in your mind that nothing will ever go wrong.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And then there's still always a chance that. It will.

[G]

Always a chance.

[A]

There's always a chance.

[F]

But when you're feeling in love to the point where you're, like, posing to someone to then damper it with that sentence.

[A]

But that's why I'm making the decision right here, right now on the podcast. I have not met this person, but whenever I meet you, let's just do the prenup. No matter how, like, I do think it's a weird thing to bring up during that time. Yeah. I don't know. But also, like, when I have, like, people, like, really lustfully, I don't think it was love, but I have, like, lusted at people, and I was like, oh, I would take care of this person till the end of time.

[F]

Sure.

[A]

So, like, I have.

[G]

That's tough for her. I believe you. That'll be tough for her to believe.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying that once I am in love, I think my mind will change about the prenup because I'll go back to, like, when you're in love, you, like, go back to, like, the stone Age, Right? So, like, you're, like. You say all the weird, gushy things. Things like a prenup actually are kind of weird because you're so in love that, like, you need to prove to the, like, there's. You need to be like, obviously, I'm doing a prenup you can have. I don't care if you take 100 of my money. Like, you. I love you so much. Like, it's just like.

[G]

But if I asked you for a prenup, what would you have said?

[A]

Who would take whose money in this situation? I feel like you guys are tied neck and neck and the beans never worked. Naveen hasn't worked in 30 years.

[G]

She works now, and it's like, she's like, I know.

[F]

I work so hard.

[A]

Wait, you work?

[F]

Yeah, I.

[G]

She does stuff.

[F]

I work so much.

[A]

The first marriage ever. It's crazy where Naveen married into having to start to work.

[F]

I, like, don't.

[A]

Yeah, I got married and had to start working.

[D]

Why did you do that to yourself?

[A]

Wait, what are you doing?

[D]

I don't know.

[F]

I have to learn how to edit. I'm learning AI now.

[A]

Oh, you're helping Jay?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, okay, okay. All right. Well, at least you guys are doing now.

[F]

I feel like I've gotten so many skills that I think I could really.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

You're on to your next marriage level up.

[G]

Marry Mr.

[D]

Beast.

[A]

All right, guys, well, listen, that's all the time we have for today's pod. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks for everybody that joined and we will see you guys for the next one. Let us know other riddles or situations or whatever that I should be talking to people about on the podcast. Bye.
