VIEWS with David Dobrik & Jason Nash

Episode: Natalie Wants to Kiss David
Date: October 8, 2025

Episode Overview

In this lively, candid, and fast-moving episode, David Dobrik and Jason Nash are joined by Natalie and friends to discuss behind-the-scenes stories from their week, explore the dynamics of platonic friendships, share hilarious anecdotes from recent social outings, and riff on everything from AI to the meaning of life. The episode’s tone is fun, raunchy, and self-deprecating as the group playfully teases each other, gets real about awkward moments, and repeatedly circles back to whether David and Natalie might ever cross the line of friendship.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The “Final Podcast” Bit & Pessimism

• The hosts start the episode joking about treating it like the “last podcast ever.”
  • [01:13] Jason: “Final podcast.”
  • They reflect (mock-seriously) on the past and fake-plan future farewells.
• David teases Jason’s pessimism and his reluctance to talk optimistically about the future.
  • [01:47] David: “You are one of the most pessimistic people I’ve ever met.”

2. Jimmy John’s Sandwich Drama & Germophobia

• The group recounts filming bits at Natalie’s house, where Jason (in character as a homeless man) almost contaminates David’s sandwich.
  • [02:16] David: “Jay was tired and then he found my Jimmy John’s sandwich... Natalie goes, Jason, did you wash your hands? ...the bit prior to it, Jason was pretending to be homeless and sitting on the ground by a dumpster where he found turd.”
• They spiral into a playful argument about hygiene, handwashing, and who is really the cleanest.
  • [03:14] David: “Find a lake, a river. Find anything. Spit on your hands.”

3. Dinner at 4 Charles & Beer Chugging Loss

• The hosts describe a “crazy” expensive dinner at NYC’s 4 Charles, with the bill hitting ~$14,000.
  • [06:28] David: “Yeah, it’s this place called 4 Charles... $13,000 for cheeseburgers and then two plates of steak.”
• David’s pride is bruised when he finally loses a legendary beer chugging contest to a 6’7” Michigan State “Olympic chugger.”
  • [07:49] David: “I didn’t believe it. He was 6'7. Obviously his throat, physically, is bigger than mine... This guy chugs it faster than... Never lost a beer chug—Steve Will Do It, Romeo Beckham... But this guy from Michigan State, I couldn’t believe it.”

4. Setting Natalie Up and the Club Makeout Scandal

• The dinner party tries to set Natalie up with the tall chugger.
  • [09:35] David: “There’s this thing that happens though, when there’s like a really tall guy around that the entire dinner starts to look at Natalie and go, you should—That guy.”
• Hilarious club story: the chugger makes out with several women at the table, telling each he's sleeping with Natalie that night.
  • [11:00] Natalie: “He sits down next to her, they start making out... And I can hear him be like, hey, sorry, I can’t do this right now. I’m actually—I’m sleeping with Natalie tonight.”

5. Party to Plane (C2P) Champions

• Natalie and David power through all-night clubbing to catch a 6am flight, coining “Party to Plane” (C2P).
  • [12:37] David: “Natalie and I, we partied to the plane. We partied to the plane.”
  • [13:33] Natalie: “I timed it perfectly. Stayed at the club till 4:10. Went back to the hotel, packed up, 4:40, woke both your asses up.”

6. Platonic Friendship and the “Should We Kiss?” Question

• Natalie raises (again) the ongoing joke about how she and David, despite their closeness, have never been physically intimate.
  • [21:21] Natalie: “It always comes up, like, how you guys haven’t slept together, right?... I’ve never kissed you. We’ve never done anything in our entire lives, which is, like, really crazy.”
  • [21:40] David: “I think that’s fine, but it’s really funny. Doesn’t it sound like it’s kind of bothering you?”
• The group debates the “friend zone,” David’s (alleged) repulsion, and Natalie’s insistence that nothing has ever happened and never will, but also that “it’s funny to bring up.”
  • [22:39] Jason: “Unfortunately, Natalie, it’s what you’re saying—sounds like you want something to happen.”

7. Wild Hypotheticals: Sex to Save a Life

• The group riffs on the classic “would you sleep with 100 people to save a friend’s life” scenario.
  • [19:02] Jason: “Hey, if Natalie was, like, gonna die, the only way you could save her is you had to have sex with 100 women.”
  • [20:08] Natalie: “Yeah. To save your life.”
• The conversation dissolves into laughter and mock arguments about heroics, logistics, and who would take longer.

8. Cat Content and "OnlyPaws" App Idea

• Taylor pitches “OnlyPaws”—an app for sharing cat and pet photos, playfully riffing on OnlyFans.
  • [24:28] Natalie (as Taylor): “We should start an app called OnlyPaws... starring my cat Theodore.”
  • [25:23] David: “I like the idea. OnlyPaws is good.”

9. Behind-the-Scenes: Car Surprise Bit Fails

• Natalie recounts the logistical nightmare of surprising her divorced parents with her new car for a vlog—awkwardness abound.
  • [27:55] Jason: “Well, it was Natalie’s Dad, Natalie’s mom who are divorced, and then Natalie’s sister in the middle.”
  • [28:14] Natalie: “My dad was in San Diego, my mom was in LA... Coincidentally, they were here on the same weekend.”
• The reveal goes off the rails when her dad removes his blindfold early and her sister panics.

10. Work/Life Balance, AI, and Existential Tangents

• The group delves into the idea of a “four-day workweek” and shares thoughts on the blurring boundaries of creative work.
  • [39:45] David: “I think you should get blacked out Friday 100%—recover Saturday and then have a day to yourself on Sunday.”
• Jason and David discuss the impact and future of AI, their own AI-generated bits, and ponder if we're all living in a simulation.
  • [44:22] David: “I just downloaded Sora... Jake Paul can license his likeness for people to use on Sora... I typed in ‘Einstein walking through a time machine and meeting Jesus Christ.’”
  • [48:00] David: "We maybe prompts ourselves right now, playing out a prompt from someone else."

Episode Highlights & Summary

This episode of VIEWS is quintessential Dobrik & Nash: quick-witted, irreverent, and packed with the casual chaos of their actual lives and friendships. Standout themes include the awkward (but funny) security of their platonic bonds, the group’s relentless ribbing, and moments where every absurdity (from club antics to hypothetical life-or-death sex challenges) gets treated with the same energy as digital-age existential dread.

The show's real heartbeat is the interplay—whether it’s about who’s responsible for hand-washing, whose job is easier when shooting, or the future of content creation. All of it is woven together with running gags about whether David and Natalie will ever cross their boundary, delivered in the classic VIEWS tone: goofy, a bit crass, and always self-aware.

Listeners will come away feeling like they spent a night on the town with the group—laughing, oversharing, and (as always) wondering, "Wait, are David and Natalie ever going to kiss?!"

Next episode drops Tuesday!
