[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. We are back. I'm so happy to be here with Jason. It's just. It's so nice to see him. He's so fresh and good looking today.

[Jason Nash]

What would we do without you, Dave?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, without my constant compliments.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I appreciate that. It means a lot coming.

[David Dobrik]

I think, Jay, you'd be good without me. I think Natalie would be. Every idea starts with a problem. Warby Parker's was simple. Glasses are too expensive. So they set out to change that. By designing glasses in house and selling directly to customers, they're able to offer prescription eyewear that's expertly crafted and unexpectedly affordable. Warby Parker glasses are made from premium materials like impact resistant polycarbonate and custom acetate. And they start at just $95, including prescription lenses. Get glasses made from the good stuff. Stop by a Warby Parker store near you, please. I think Natalie wouldn't have any will to live. You ever seen, like, when a samurai is just defeated and he has so much shame that he. That he takes a sword and he ends his own life?

[Jason Nash]

She'd die on her own sword. Do you think that's what she'd do if you die?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, because I have. When we went. When we went to the gladiator premiere, I got a couple, like, swords and I feel like that would be Natalie's way of showing me respect if I pass.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't think so, actually. I think I'd probably thrive in your absence.

[David Dobrik]

You have this whole, like, philosophy that, like, I'm Your captor. And like, once I disappear, like, life will just open up and it'll be butterflies. But just know when I die, and I will die soon, that's a threat. Your life will be very, very difficult.

[Jason Nash]

Wait, wait. No.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'll be sad. I'll be sad for sure.

[Jason Nash]

Planning to die.

[David Dobrik]

Who do you think is going to go first? Me or you?

[Jason Nash]

I don't know, man. Your. Your rate. I don't know what will happen.

[David Dobrik]

My rate? J, come on, dude. I'm fucking. I nap eight hours a. If anything, I'm gonna lift to 150. With the rate I'm going at?

[Jason Nash]

I don't think so. I think you're gonna go back in your sedentary ways. You were on a good clip. I was really proud of you for the last year. But I'm watching the devolution. Is that a word of your whole thing. I can see it coming back already.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not going back.

[Jason Nash]

You're not going back?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

All right.

[Jason Nash]

I saw some in n out last night.

[David Dobrik]

That's because I burned 1400 calories at pickleball. So, like, I need to.

[Jason Nash]

Need to fill it up. Fill up the tank.

[David Dobrik]

No, honestly, there's no excuse for me having it out. Yeah, you're right. I am making some moves that may seem like I'm reverting, but I'm gonna. That's the worst part about like, being fit, right? It's like now I have to do it and all the DMs I get are like, every time I'm eating food, someone's DMing me like, don't do it, Dave. And it's. They're not even being funny. They're just like, so disappointed in me from. For having a cheat meal that it, like, it genuinely like, hurts and irks my insides. So I totally get it. I want to talk about this before we talk about anything because I'm really scared of this getting out in a way that's not from me. So I want to hit it head on. No, it's not. It's not. It's not controversial. I just made it sound pretty controversial. Have you ever heard of the Foodie boys?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You. You know them?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, the podcasters. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

They're like, what, 16 year old boys? 15 year old?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

They're in high school and all they talk about is food.

[Jason Nash]

Right?

[David Dobrik]

Like school lunches. They're in Maryland.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I really wanted to be on the bod.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I was like, this would Be fun.

[Jason Nash]

It's right in your wheelhouse.

[David Dobrik]

Totally. And like, Lunchables, it's.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

So like talking PB and J. Lunchables.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Imagine 15, 16 year old boys that are like, you like pepperoni on your pizza. And then the other boy goes, I don't know. I feel like just cheese is kind of the way to go. And that's what the podcast is. It's fucking incredible. I mean, it's top notch shit. So I wanted to. I really wanted to be on it. I said this to Natalie and I was like, I fucking love this. They're in Maryland.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So there was a moment that we were going to be in the area, so I was going to stop by.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But I don't think I can do it as of now. I may do it in the future. And I want to be like a surprise on it. I don't want to be like. I don't want to be like, we're having David on. I just want to, like, pop into, like a random conversation. Yeah. Like, I just want to appear. They're talking about. Yeah, they're talking about celery sticks. And I'm like, no, I'm not a vegetable guy.

[Jason Nash]

Who's the booker?

[David Dobrik]

Well, this is why I wanted to talk about this.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Is because I told Natalie and Megan, I'm like, please treat this as if it's any serious opportunity. So email them and say that David is interested. What's the fee and how much to. And will you put him up in a hotel and will you fly him out?

[Natalie Mariduena]

What's the travel stipend?

[David Dobrik]

What's the travel stipend? And obviously I'm kidding, but, like, now that I'm not doing it, I can't explain that to them. So I'm scared that in like six months, if I never talk about this, they're gonna be like, yeah, we almost had them on the show, but, like, we want to pay for his travel. They're 15 years old and their manager is probably one of their parents.

[Jason Nash]

He wanted 75 grand.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. But like I told Natalie, Megan, I'm like, treat this like it's fucking Jay Leno. Like, like, treat this like really seriously. And, like, want to be flown out first class. Everything, like, just as a joke. Because I wanted to see what the emails would be. But what do they respond? Natalie or Meghan? My publicist was like, I don't.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We. We don't know who's responding. Like, it must be like a. Like an older brother. It sounds like an older brother. Because they don't. They don't sound, like, mature enough to be an adult, but they're also not young enough to be, like, 14. So I'm not sure who's responding, but they're just like, you know, we're an early. We're a young show, so we don't really have, like, the budget for that at the moment, but we'd love to have Jamie.

[David Dobrik]

I felt so bad when that response came because I was like, fuck. Like, if I don't get over there, which I don't think I can, in like the next couple weeks, these guys are literally gonna think that I just fucking bailed on this because I couldn't buy a flight to Maryland. Why?

[Jason Nash]

Why would you think that they could get that joke? No one's going to get that joke.

[David Dobrik]

I just wanted to, like, people see.

[Jason Nash]

You as, like a huge star.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, the whole podcast is like, it's very high brow. Like, it's like people treat it as like. This was a very good discussion about pepperoni pizza. And, like, that's how I look at it too. There's no better perspective on food than a younger person. So I do really think the stuff that they're talking about is revolutionary. Like, I think. I think young kids like that should always have a podcast because their minds work so much better than, like, old, decrepit, fucking boring black and white minds. Sorry, sorry. But yeah, no, I just wanted to. I wanted to address that in case.

[Jason Nash]

Damn the foodie boys controversy, 20, 25.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I wanted to jump ahead in case they expose me.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, no.

[David Dobrik]

In. In three months, they're like, fuck this guy. He wanted money. I love you foodie boys. I really. I'm good. Next time I'm on the East Coast, I'm gonna try to stop by.

[David Dobrik]

Natalie did the most fucked up thing yesterday. So I don't check my bank accounts ever. I have no idea how much money's in them. And, like, I do that on purpose. I just don't want to know. Yeah, like, once in a while I'll be making, like, a big purchase or, like, something will happen where I'll need to know how much money I have in my. In my pocket or in my bank account. And this. This. This happened. There was a big purchase that needed to be made. So I was like, natalie, tell me how much money I have. And Natalie. And every time I talk to my accountant, anybody, I'm like, make sure to tell me the lowest amount of money I have. Like, after taxes, everything. Like, don't give me a high fucking number, whatever. And I'm going to use fake numbers here.

[Jason Nash]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

But it's the same percentage of difference.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

So I was like, how much money do I have in my bank account? Please tell me. And Natalie goes, you have. You have 20 million, right? And I go, what? I go, that's fucking incredible.

[Jason Nash]

You were. You were pleased?

[David Dobrik]

That's insane.

[Jason Nash]

Pleasantly surprised.

[David Dobrik]

Pleasantly surprised, right. And then I check, and I'm like, give me that, give me that. And then I add all the numbers together, and she accidentally doubled one of the numbers in one of the accounts, like, completely doubled my income. And I was like, dude, like. And. And what sucks about that is. What sucks about that is. Is for those. Obviously for those two minutes that I believed I had that money. Yeah, I. I did have that much money.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So it really was like, once I found out she just stole 10 million from me, like, that's what it felt like in my soul. I was like, you just fucked me. If $10 million or whatever the actual.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Number was, it wasn't like he was walking around for like a week thinking he had all this money. It was like, literally 30 seconds. Yeah, but that was my.

[David Dobrik]

That was my only reality I knew when it came to my finances, and it was crushed within 30 seconds. Like. Like, I don't care if you lowball me. Like, tell me I have hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars left. Like, lowball me as low as you can, but never, never tell me I have more. That, like, really fucked me. Up and like now I've been like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, now I'm gonna tell him he has nothing all the time.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, she also says that to me too. She, she, she, like, she'll be like, David, you know, you don't, don't have that much money. And then whenever she wants to buy something, she's like, you can afford this. So like, so I genuinely don't know how much money I have ever. Which is kind of a good thing because like, then I'm not like spending like crazy.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's a, it's a, it's a manipulation tactic. So he has to think twice about the expensive purchase.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, but it's like, it's like I'm buying a painting. She's like, you should really like cool it on the paintings. But then when we want to upgrade our room in Vegas to like a 5,000 night room, she's like, you have the money for this, David. So it really is like wherever she can benefit from it. She's good.

[Jason Nash]

But what, are you going to step up and be your own person and know how much money you have and do you know what I mean? I think there's a.

[David Dobrik]

See, I don't like this, this. When are you going to do this? Like Natalie, Natalie hits me with this like, when are you going to be more mature? Type, type of conversation, which I totally respect. And there are aspects of my life that I can mature on and I am working on them. Totally.

[Jason Nash]

Are you working on them?

[David Dobrik]

No. And.

[Jason Nash]

Because I don't see any progress.

[David Dobrik]

Right, right. Good, good, good. But I think Natalie's actually come around to this idea before. But she used to be like, really weird about it. She, she, she was like, when are you going to grow up? Blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'd be like, well, Natalie, if, like, if I, if I ever did what you told me to, like, grow up, like, we would not be here. Like the only reason we are here in this house and getting to do this job is because very luckily I'm an idiot. And like, and I, you know, and I pursued something that was pretty wacky and stupid and it has the perks of, of being immature. Like you get rewarded for being.

[Jason Nash]

I don't think those things, those two things are connected a little more.

[David Dobrik]

Well, it's, to me, it did.

[Jason Nash]

Sure, sure. But that's in, that's in the past. That's awesome that you followed your gut and you were, you, you know, you made videos and it worked out. That's awesome. But I'm saying like, you know, you Want a girlfriend? You need to know how much money is in your account. You want to, you know.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, no, I was pivoting a little bit.

[Jason Nash]

Okay, go ahead, pivot.

[David Dobrik]

Well, no, I was just pivoting. Natalie recently, she actually said that. She's like, you know, I wish you just grew up. And then she, like, cut herself off. She's like, I understand, I understand. If you did grow up too early, we wouldn't be here. And I was like, wow, nice, Natalie. But, yeah, no, I get it, I get it, I get it. Oh, dude, I went to that nightclub opening Zook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have much to say about it, but I got paparazzi right outside of it. Fuck, I fucking hate this shit. I was leaving at. This guy left them. He made the nastiest post about me. I don't know if he was being funny or not, but, I mean, I find it funny. Whatever. Cause I like reading this kind of stuff. But we left the club at like 2am cause that's when it was closing. Yeah, but the club. The club owner was like, where are you going? Like, I'm gonna have this private, like, after party here. And I was like. To Natalie, I was like, well, we can't. We can't leave. Natalie was already in the Uber. She's like, get in the fucking Uber.

[Natalie Mariduena]

She's literally sitting in the Uber.

[David Dobrik]

And I was like, natalie, like, we can't leave this guy here. Like, this is his big night, right? Like, you. It's like his birthday. He's been working on his club for three years. Like, let's go. We're going to get back in the club. He was very drunk, the club owner, at this time. And we were walking back into the club, and the bouncer, like, doesn't recognize me and doesn't see that I'm with the owner. And he's like, nope, no more people. Which is arguably like. Which is correct because it's 2:00. It's like 154 now. So, like, they're not letting people in anymore.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then the owner starts yelling, no, fuck that. We're going back in. And then he finally recognizes him. But at. At the moment where this guy doesn't let us in, the paparazzi turns on his camera and he's like, you can't get in, David. No one knows you. No one knows you. You can't get in. It was really funny. So for like, eight seconds, that's what's happening. No one knows you, David.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No one knows you.

[David Dobrik]

And the and the. You hear the yes, he can. And that's like the owner of the club, but he's just trying to like, manage like the, like, because the employees, like, we're closing and he doesn't know he's there. And he also doesn't want, like, the paparazzi to get like this, like, shot. Yeah, the paparazzi titled the video. He titled it Mr. Mr. Ozempic. I'm just a chill guy. David Dobrik. I got the most wack ass pizza and artificial clout was not allowed entry into the club.

[Natalie Mariduena]

So crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Really funny. And then. And then someone commented, I'm confused. What did he do to get clowned? And then the guy responded, lmfao, I'm just trolling. Lol.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Bad.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. The security guard didn't know him, I guess, and didn't let him in, so I guess he was just kind of goofing around. It's a really funny caption though. I also. Right before we got on the pod. Jay.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Because I know you want to be the number one podcast in the world.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I'm dying to.

[David Dobrik]

And we're not damn far. So I had a chat GPT what topics to discuss to make your podcast the best on the Internet. Okay, so there's obviously there's 10 different things, so I'm just gonna blaze through them and you give me your opinion on everything.

[Jason Nash]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Pop culture and current events. Okay, so example, the Internet's latest obsession explained or like a celebrity you have beef with or is there anything that you want to talk about that's in pop culture and current events? Hit it. Go.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, damn.

[David Dobrik]

Who's like an artist you're following currently?

[Jason Nash]

Bob Dylan.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, there go 25.

[Jason Nash]

I love the Dylan movie.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, really? With Timmy. Shalom.

[Jason Nash]

Did you watch it?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, it's excellent.

[David Dobrik]

What do you think about. What do you think about Timmy and Kylie Jenner?

[Jason Nash]

I was so curious about that relationship because when it seems like he's trying to be taken very seriously as an actor, you know, and she's more on the fun side. You know what I mean? She's not an act. She's.

[Natalie Mariduena]

She's a reality star.

[Jason Nash]

She's a reality star. And I wondered if there was like a chasm there between the two of them, if there was a stress on their relationship.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I could kind of see what you're saying.

[Jason Nash]

They look cute together.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I think that's everybody's thought, right? It's like.

[David Dobrik]

But like, that's why it's so Good.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. That's also why it works.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's so fun.

[Jason Nash]

They had a terrible moment at the Golden Globes where Demi Moore went up and said hi to him and she snubbed Kylie and allegedly. Well, but then. Then they.

[David Dobrik]

Demi more listens to this pod, so.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, she does. Hi, Demi. Hi.

[David Dobrik]

Demi really fucked up for what you did, by the way.

[Jason Nash]

And then she wrote a letter after. She was like, yeah, she's like, you know, Demi didn't. Demi's a serious actress. And it was kind of like a snide letter.

[David Dobrik]

Like, wait, wait, wait.

[Jason Nash]

What?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wait, who wrote the letter?

[David Dobrik]

J. If you're falling for fucking AI again. I'm not.

[Jason Nash]

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I read it. Look it up.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Look it up.

[David Dobrik]

Who wrote a letter?

[Jason Nash]

Demi did. She responded to, like, what people were saying about the fact that she snubbed her. And the response was kind of like, eh.

[David Dobrik]

Oh. Demi admitted to it.

[Jason Nash]

It was like a double snub almost. That's how I read it.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, okay, we gotta look this up. This is one of those situations.

[Natalie Mariduena]

This is one of those situations where you definitely are falling for AI.

[Jason Nash]

Okay, look it up, look it up. Maybe if this is the third time I fall for AI, I'll put the microphone down.

[David Dobrik]

A letter from Demi. I was gonna go Rizz up. Timmy Chalamet. I thought you're like, Aunt Demi was like, trying to be.

[Natalie Mariduena]

There's literally no. There's no apology to Kylie.

[Jason Nash]

What is an apology? It's like her publicist responded, okay, that's.

B2B.com JJ what? Listen, do you want to be the top podcast in the world?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. I'm dying to.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. But if we're going to be discussing pop culture video, first of all. No, Jack, Rita, my old manager, sent me saying that Gen Z does and like video podcasts.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Is that what he said?

[David Dobrik]

Fuck, yeah. I fucking hate video.

[Jason Nash]

That's. That's strange.

[David Dobrik]

Why are people turning.

[Jason Nash]

People with millions and millions of views.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, Personal stories and life experiences is number two. This one's easy. This is what we do all the time. There's an example that says the most awkward date of my life.

[Jason Nash]

All right?

[David Dobrik]

I went to a party once. It was a big celebrity. Big celebrity's party.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I went with. This is when I was really young. This is when I was like, 18 or 19, and I went with one of my model, like, girlfriends.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

And I. Sorry.

[Natalie Mariduena]

At 18 or 19, you were just hanging with the models?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

David.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, it doesn't sound like that.

[David Dobrik]

Natalie. I'm not trying to hide myself up here. No, no, no. But she was a model, and I only say this because she was out of my league, and it's obvious as the story progresses, but we got to the house and, you know, the night went on great time. I was drunk, ended up passing out on his couch, and she had sex with him. So I guess that's kind of.

[Jason Nash]

She.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's your most awkward story.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, is that not awkward if you take someone to a party with you and you fall asleep on the guy's couch and she's hooking up with him? What are you fucking talking about? That's like a normal thing for you?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, no, but that's like, not like. That's not like, that intrinsically embarrassing or you're, like, crippled, like, where you can't move. You're so embarrassed. Like, that's what I was looking for.

[David Dobrik]

Really? Did you watch you wake up the next day?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Like. Like, I'll tell you mine.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, go.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay. In middle school, I had broken my foot and I had. I had to crutch to school every day.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And so I crushed to school in the snow. And, you know, like, when you come in the front doors, everybody's waiting right there in the common area to then go into their classrooms for the day, but they make all the kids wait. And I walked in the front door and it was tile with my wet crutch, and it's just slipped out from under me in front of the entire school is sitting there in the morning in middle school, and I wiped out on my crutch, and this guy had to come and help me get up, and it was very embarrassing. And everybody stared and everyone got quiet. Like, that's like.

[David Dobrik]

Are you fucking serious?

[Natalie Mariduena]

What?

[David Dobrik]

Wait, you're comparing that to, like, the girl I'm with having sex with somebody? Wait, what? You.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, you were, like, with her?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, we went to the party together. Like, we were hooking up.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, okay.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jason Nash]

Who's old now? Natalie?

[David Dobrik]

What the fuck was that? You really just.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wait.

[David Dobrik]

What? I couldn't wait.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Sorry.

[David Dobrik]

Who? I can't sleep for two months. What the was that you tripped?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, wait.

[David Dobrik]

Because it was icy out.

[Jason Nash]

It's embarrassed. It was an embarrassing story she heard. Embarrassing.

[David Dobrik]

I understand, but did you see her? She's like, shut up. I'm gonna triple top this. What the was that?

[Natalie Mariduena]

There was, like, cliche embarrassing. You're. I didn't realize you were dating this girl and then she hooked up with somebody. Yeah, that's. That was definitely awkward.

[David Dobrik]

But we were hooking up. Like, we were like. We went to the party together because we were kissing.

[Jason Nash]

Okay, thank you.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, that was a key detail.

[David Dobrik]

No, I didn't watch enough sex.

[Jason Nash]

But you fell asleep and they went and had sex, and I had.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And I was woken up in the morning because she needed to go home, and we drove home together.

[Jason Nash]

And you asked her, Obviously, you guys.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Were not seeing each other in any capacity.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, we were not dating. We were boyfriend and girlfriend.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Somebody is lying. There's a hole in this story, and I feel like it's coming from you thinking that you were dating a model at 18.

[David Dobrik]

No, I wasn't dating her.

[Jason Nash]

We were just kissing. I was dating a girl once. She was. She was pretty.

[David Dobrik]

Pretty.

[Jason Nash]

And. And I took her to a party, and it was a party with, like, a lot of comedy people. Like, big, big time comedy people. And I wasn't a big time comedy person, obviously, but she.

[David Dobrik]

That's the scariest, by the way.

[Jason Nash]

What is? Big time comedy people are so scary.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, they're the worst. I feel like, especially taking, like, your girl there when you're a little bit insecure.

[Jason Nash]

Yep.

[David Dobrik]

Because, like, I feel like a comedian can, like, easily start attacking her girlfriend and like, with, like, charm bombs and just, like, trying to charm.

[Jason Nash]

And that's exactly what happened.

[David Dobrik]

Fuck.

[Jason Nash]

I'm there with her. You know, we were dating and she.

[David Dobrik]

Dating or kissing? I just want to know where to put the story. Is it between. Is it between dating, or is it between falling on ice? How good is the story?

[Jason Nash]

Kissing and dating. She got really drunk, and she spent the entire night talking to Conan O'Brien, and.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, dude, that's a good one.

[Jason Nash]

They were locked in. He wasn't married at the time. He was single, obviously.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, that's amazing.

[Jason Nash]

And they were locked. They were locked eye to eye, and they talked forever. And I would come up to the table, like, wow. And then I took her home, and I realized she was really drunk, and she's in the car, like, so, so, so drunk. And I remember I took her out of the car to drop her off. I planted her to the side of the car on my car, like, took her out of the passenger, put her on the side of the car, and then went to get her bag. And in that time, she fell over.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, Jesus.

[Jason Nash]

She fell over, like, right into the. Into the gutter.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Nash]

So I was like, that's what you get.

[David Dobrik]

Hey, Jesus Christ.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Took a real turn.

[David Dobrik]

That's what you get. Wait, she was flirting with Conan O'Brien?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. And they were locked in, and there was nothing I could do.

[David Dobrik]

Damn, that's the worst.

[Jason Nash]

I've had so many big fails with comedians I admire.

[David Dobrik]

Give us another one.

[Jason Nash]

Larry David.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, what happened with Larry David? Terrible. Wait, what happened?

[Jason Nash]

Marnie brought me to a party. It was like an Emmy party. And I'm like, there. I don't know anybody. And, like, Larry. And I turn around, and Larry David's standing there by himself. And I was just like, this is your moment. Yeah. And I was like, hi. Hi. He's like. And then I was like. I was like, oh, my God. I'm like, I love the show so much. And you could just tell. He was just like, don't talk to me. It was awful.

[David Dobrik]

You are that. You are. You. You don't like hearing this. Every time I say this, you, like, get really defensive. Yeah, but you get really awkward around celebrities.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I get really awkward on.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, okay, you admit it this time.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I've never. Awkward because, like, when we. When we would film things with celebs, you definitely warm up. But, like, initially, you're like. It's not even nervous. You're just, like, awkward. And I get so confused because you. You have this whole, like, shtick about you that's like, fuck celebrities. I've been living here 45. 45 years.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But then when they show up, you're. You're like, actually love them.

[Jason Nash]

Which one did I Do that to.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I'm trying. Do you remember any like that? He, like, kind of just like panicked around. Well, who have we filmed with that like, made you nervous?

[Jason Nash]

Steve O. Steve O. Steve O. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

That was the best.

[Jason Nash]

He was great.

[David Dobrik]

That was amazing. That first time we filmed with him and we remember. Remember it was the dry ice thing.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Mm.

[David Dobrik]

That was fucking crazy.

[Jason Nash]

I was just kind of in awe of what he could do. But he shared. He actually shared an intimate moment with me once that I loved.

[David Dobrik]

What'd he say?

[Jason Nash]

He said he was about to jump off a roof.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Oh, okay.

[Natalie Mariduena]

For the video.

[Jason Nash]

He was about to jump up a roof for one of your videos?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

This is fucking death defying into a pool.

[David Dobrik]

Well, hold on, let me backtrack. Because he came over because he was a big. I was dming with him to, like, do something for the vlog. And I'm like, well, this week I'm doing dry ice. And he goes, I fucking love dry ice. Yeah, go, come watch. And like, maybe we'll do something. Like, maybe he'll like, eat a cockroach or something. And he's sitting there, like on this edge of the pool, like in a chair with his dog that he just rescued.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, looking quite like, you know, this is retired Steve O. Like, this is a man who like once did his thing and now he's like. And now he's just relaxed and just enjoying the dry ice. He's enjoying the smoke. And then there's about like a. There's. We're in the backyard of like a three, four story house, and I point to the roof and I'm like, so how do you think you're going to jump off that thing? Like as a joke.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And he goes. And he responds. And he goes, I think the best way for me is to do a flip. And I go, I was totally kidding. And he goes, no, no, I'm going to do it.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I couldn't believe it. He was just sitting there, I think, just scouting out, like the whole. Just seeing, calculating, calculating if he can. If he can land in this pool with the dry ice. And then I think you're about to say what I. What I love about Steve O. Is what was he saying on the roof?

[Jason Nash]

He just goes. He goes. He goes, well, I go, how are you gonna do this? And he goes, well, he was like, I have a thing that I do.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Nash]

He's like. And it's the same thing I do every time. He's like, they take my Hand. And I count three, two, one. And when I get to one, he's like. I go, no matter what. And I was like, wow.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's. It's. It's. Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Did I say it wrong?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. It's that. But I think it's when he starts counting.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Once he starts counting.

[David Dobrik]

Once he starts counting, he doesn't stop.

[Jason Nash]

He's locked in.

[David Dobrik]

I love that because that's his. That's his dead ass.

[Jason Nash]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

I love when people have, like, their own, like, little tiny religions.

[Jason Nash]

It was interesting, too, because when we met him, I was like, oh, I thought he'd be retired. Like, you would have retarded.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry.

[Jason Nash]

I was expecting him to be, like, retired. Like, he just wouldn't do. Wasn't going to do stunts anymore. He'd done so much by the time we met him, but he was still cool.

[David Dobrik]

One of my favorite celebrity cross paths with. As we're on the subject, I'm gonna keep going. Was when I met Madison Beer. Somebody my age, funny was like, the biggest deal. Madison Beer is the. I would say she's the Megan. I don't know if I could say she's the Megan Fox of our generation, because I think Megan Fox is the Megan Fox of our generation now. Were you there when I met Madison?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

We were at the VMAs and she was there.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, no, I wasn't.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, you were there, Jay.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Jason was there.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. You were dressed as Jesus Christ.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

At the VMAs, which is so craz that we did that shit. So I remember we were walking the carpet at the VMAs and Madison Beer was there. And I don't know. Oh, I think she came up to me. I made eye contact with her, and then she came up to me. She's like, I love your stuff.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I could not believe that. And, like, I remember I got her number that day. And this is like, one of, like, the first, like, super cool hot celebrities that I've ever interacted with in my life. So, like, I remember we were at dinner. We were at Emilio's in New York having dinner. And I remember I specifically would put my phone on the table so people would see when it would light up and it'd say, text from Madison Beer. Oh, my God. Because I was so excited about it.

[Jason Nash]

You were waiting for her to text?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. No, I was texting because we're gonna make plans to hang out that night.

[Jason Nash]

Did anyone see it and go, david, your phone's ringing?

[David Dobrik]

No, I Think I was just. Honestly, I was sitting by somebody like Natalie, like, one of my really closer friends, so it wouldn't have been a big deal anyway. But, yeah, I remember I hung out with her that night, and I just. Like, we just sat on the couch and talked, like, at our house. And I'm just like, this is fucking ridiculous. Like, this is fudgeing insane. Like, I used to like her photos when I was, like, a freshman in fucking or in high school. Like, it doesn't make any sense that I'm now sitting in her New York apartment.

[Jason Nash]

That's funny. I didn't even know she was. So when you told me that, I was like, oh, cool.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, no. She's the biggest deal as a kid and.

[Jason Nash]

But knowing her, she. She's amazing. She's great because she's. You can talk comedy with her. She's really big into, like, Rick and Morty and, like, oh, wow.

[David Dobrik]

You know, she's really tapped in. She's like what every hot girl wishes she was. Like, Madison actually lives by that. Like, she's, like, so nice. She likes the nerdy things. She likes the nerdy guys. Thank God. Thank you, Madison letting me into your house. But yeah, and she just, like, genuinely. She, like, those are her favorite things to talk about. Yes, you could talk to her about comedy. She's very. She's a very, very, very cool girl. That's, like, a very. She's a very rare case where, like, her personality is even. Well, I can't say better than Hux is equal to her looks, because she's peeking at the looks. She's already. She's already the hottest in the world. So, yes, they're both the same.

[Jason Nash]

One time I spilled wine on Anthony Anderson.

[David Dobrik]

Anthony Anderson? Who's that?

[Jason Nash]

He's a big actor. He's, like, on Black Ish is like the lead on Black Ish.

[David Dobrik]

You also spilled wine on Drake and Josh's dad in the show, so this seems like a common pick.

[Jason Nash]

That was a meatball, my guy.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, that was a meatball.

[Jason Nash]

Get it right. Yeah, you're gonna get roasted in the comments, bro.

[David Dobrik]

Cancel David Dorich. So what I dropped.

[Jason Nash]

I was at Marnie's premiere party for one of her shows, and Anthony Anderson was the star, and he had a suede jacket on. And I was, like, talking, and I just turned and. And I knocked his wine all over his suede jacket. And he just went. He just went. He goes, jason, Jason. I just met him two minutes before. He was like, jason, tell me you didn't do that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Jason, tell me you didn't do that.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, terrible. Was it? Fine.

[Jason Nash]

After I told him, I said, I can't afford to pay for that jacket.

[David Dobrik]

Who's been your favorite celebrity to meet somebody that just completely favorite celebrity was?

[Jason Nash]

Jim Carrey.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, that's who I was gonna say. That's who made you so fucking nervous.

[Jason Nash]

Jim Carrey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got that.

[David Dobrik]

That was weird, man. It looked like you had diarrhea.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, that was weird because he walked up to us. We weren't trying to bother Jim Carrey at all. And the day before, Harry Jassy and I were manifesting and we manifested something. He's like, what do you want? And I was like, oh. I was like, I'd love to have dinner with Dave Chappelle. He's like, all right, mate. He's like, I'll write it on the board. And he, like, wrote it on board. And then the next day, we go to the premiere, and then we see Jim Carrey get out of his car, and he just. He fucking locks eyes with us. Like, 200ft away. He locks eyes with me and Jonah. So I was like, maybe he knows Jonah from Instagram.

[David Dobrik]

That's really funny, Instagram.

[Jason Nash]

Or maybe he thought. What I thought was, oh, Jonah's, like, funny looking.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, 1000% Jonah. Looks like Jonah welcomes that so much.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, that's why we literally were friends with him since day one.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. So maybe he recognized that.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, no, 100%. He, like, could feel Jonah's funny aura where he was like, I need this. I need to interact with this man no matter what.

[Jason Nash]

And Tom Brady.

[David Dobrik]

Tom Brady's.

[Jason Nash]

That was the best. When you hook that up, that was the best.

[David Dobrik]

And then Bon Jovi, so nice to my mom. Well, we're really name dropping the podcast. Let's keep it going because we might as well get it on one podcast so we don't ever talk about it. Bon Jovi I really loved. We went to his wine event once.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, yeah. He was nice.

[David Dobrik]

And first of all, he was great. And I didn't want to tell anybody I met Bon Jovi because my mom is the biggest Bon Jovi fan. Like, that. I think Bon Jovi is like, I always say, it's. It was ABBA and the Beatles. And then my mom just had a crush on Bon Jovi, so, like, that was, like, a big reason to get into, like, 70s, 80s, 90s music was because of Bon Jovi. So when I met him, like, the press there, whatever, had me take a picture with him And I was like, please, I hope no one sees this. I hope no one sees this. My mom sends it to me. I think, like, an hour and a half later, she goes, what the fuck is this? She's like. And I didn't want to tell her because I wanted, like, to set something up with him where we, like, surprise my mom.

[Jason Nash]

You met anybody? Not.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, meeting, like, the Kardashians was, like, a big deal for me. Ah, yes.

[Jason Nash]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

When did you meet them?

[Natalie Mariduena]

We went to. Right after we did the Kylie video. Kylie.

[Jason Nash]

You took us to their house.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I know. I don't know.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, Kendall. Kendall was like a. Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, Kendall. Oh, my God. What the fuck? When you say Kardashians, for some reason.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You don't think about them.

[David Dobrik]

I just think of Kim.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. I was mostly referring to Kim in that scenario. Like, we met Kim at. Right after we did the Kylie video, she invited us to her cosmetics party.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God. My favorite. Sorry, hold on. My favorite is I have this hometown friend named Dima.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And if you know my videos, he was handcuffed to Ilya. In one of my videos is like, the whole video was about them being handcuffed together. And there was, like, a moment in time where, like, everybody in L. A went out. Like, everybody kind of knew each other. And Kylie was over at my house after, like, one of the nights that we were going out and Dima was over. There was a moment I was in my living room, and there's only, like, 15, 20 people at my house. And I look over, and it's just Dima and Kylie in the kitchen talking. And. And I had such a panic. But it was also so funny where, like, instead of going to make sure everything was okay, like, I. I, like, I think I grabbed, like. Did I tell you? I don't know who I was. I. I grabbed someone near me. I was like, you got to see this. Look at what's going on. This is like. Because it's two worlds that should never have ever intersected.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

And they're talking in the kitchen. It's. It was the fucking craziest thing ever. It's so funny, especially if you know Dima. Like, Dima is like.

[Jason Nash]

Describe Dima.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, he was my assistant for a while. Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, my God, I forgot about that.

[David Dobrik]

He's like the.

[Jason Nash]

Do you want to know a funny story? One time when I was like. We were working together, and David was like, you should hire Dima. You should have him move here and work for you.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

And I was like, okay. And so I was. I was like, oh, sure, if David thinks that's a good idea, like, I'll do that, you know? And. And then he starts working for us, working for me, and he starts, like, fucking a lot of things up.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

Like, he was fucking. He fucked up the podcast or something. And David was like, why the fuck. What the fuck is diva editing the fucking podcast?

[Natalie Mariduena]

And I'm like, you fucking told me.

[Jason Nash]

He's like, no, he's like, I didn't tell you. I told you to just pay him to hang out, not to actually do anything.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Oh, I think that's what I kind of meant. I just wanted Dima out here because he's such a character.

[Jason Nash]

He's fun.

[David Dobrik]

He's like. He has. He's lost his license, like, three times because of all the tickets.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, Ilya's had to bail him out of. Of, like, debt multiple times. Like, it's. He's such a fucking character. And I still can't tell if he's like, if it's all an act or if he's actually the way he is. But, yeah, that was. What. Okay, sorry, back to your story. What was going on?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, I mean, I just. I met Kim at that event. They were all there. All the sisters were at Kylie's, like, launch event, and we talking about Stormy's birthday. No, no, I didn't go to Stormy's birthday. But wait, remember, you went. You. You. We. Stormy's birthday was right after we did the Todd Billboard, and so I had to drive back home. So you took my Bronco.

[David Dobrik]

I remember that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

To Stormy's birthday. And the Bronco was like.

[David Dobrik]

The Bronco stalled in front of K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Kanye. Do you remember this? I think we talked about this on the podcast.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I remember. And you were late because of that.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, that's how. That was my problem. It was. It was. Kanye was like, whose Broncos? Oh, it's in front of my car.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I was just running right back into the party. I'm like, not mine. Oh, so that's not where you met him?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, no, I don't. I don't. I don't know the timeline, but yeah, like, all the Kardashians are there, and. And everybody. And Kim was so cute. She's so cute in person. Like, she's so tiny. Even though you think she's like this big, busty, bodacious woman, you know, which she is. But, like, she's very petite. Like, she's tiny little Thing.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I love her. She's great.

[David Dobrik]

All those girls are really, really, really nice.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Courtney was so nice to us.

[David Dobrik]

Courtney's like my favorite.

[Jason Nash]

She had. She, like, made dinner for us.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So nice.

[Jason Nash]

And then they did pit and peek.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah. Where we had to go around. Oh, that's when we brought Carly and Aaron.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And Aaron was like, I watch this on the show all the time. Like, right when. Right when Courtney brought it up. Aaron's like, this is my favorite thing. I can't believe we're experiencing this. Yeah. That was really fun. Okay, I'll name drop this one. This one's not big, but like, sorry, not, not, not, not big. I'm saying that people already know about it, but when we did Wayne Brady and Charlie Puth, we had Charlie Puth and Wayne Brady, which is probably the most, like, killer combo you can have. And we had him in the back of a tour bus.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And driving around Hollywood and they were just singing to people. That was one of the most incredible things.

[Jason Nash]

You love that.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. It was amazing. Wayne Brady is a fucking genius. I don't know how he walks among us. I've. I've never seen anybody as quick as Wayne Brady. And I genuinely feel like. I know I've watched a lot of Wayne Brady. I've watched a lot of Whose Line. Like, there's some. There's some jokes that he makes in that vlog that are in, like. That are in like the hall of fame for Wayne Brady, in my opinion, that are like in the best Wayne Brady performance.

[Jason Nash]

Other level kind of jokes.

[David Dobrik]

It's so good. And same with Sacha Baron Cohen was.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, my God, I was so jealous I didn't get to go out that day.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what? Wow.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You didn't come.

[David Dobrik]

You didn't come to Borat.

[Jason Nash]

No. It was just you and him. That's Susie.

[David Dobrik]

That's the video. That's. Oh, because we drove around. That's the video that I feel like most people come up to me and talk about.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Is Borat. Yeah. People are always like, what was it filming like with Borat?

[Jason Nash]

Oh, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And I remember, like, driving around. It's. It was impossible. No, it was so unrealistic to drive around with Borat. That, like, this happened, I think, two or three times where we pulled up next to somebody or he was out of the car and I was filming him. And there was one guy that distinctly said, nice costume.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Because it's just like, it's obviously not Borat. Right. Like, you're obviously not running Into Borat. And then there was another situation where, like, you could tell that people were just, like, in my. Because they thought it was like, a. Like a really funny, like, lookalike.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Totally.

[David Dobrik]

Which is really funny, which is insane. And he was the best. That's one of those situations where, like, you'll talk to his team before.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I didn't meet him until I met him on camera.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And his team was like, he doesn't want you to meet him until he's Borat. Like, he does. Like, he. He wants to come in as characteristics. I was like, fuck, yeah. This is. I was so fucking nervous. I was like, this is crazy that I'm meeting, like, one of the funniest people of all time and his team. Like, before we, like, I had to, like, send in all the bits I wanted to do with him. Like, I said to not, like, remember Natalie? I was like, this seems very, like, calculated. I was really nervous. And then when he came, we did none of the bits because I literally just fucking followed this guy around. Funny everywhere. Like, I think. I think they had, like, the bits just in case. Like, it was literally like, you saw it in the video. Like, it was just, like, walking around with him and shooting the shit.

[Jason Nash]

Did he ever drop character with you?

[David Dobrik]

Um, he did, yeah. I don't think I've ever said it because I didn't want to ruin the illusion. He did. There was one. We were in the. We were on Franklin, I remember, and he, like, said a joke, and he was like, should I do that again? In his British accent? And then there was another time where he made a joke and he's like, no, we can't do that one. He's like, that's too much. That's too much. So that was really funny. But no, for the most part, he was in character. But what was really cool about the Borat video is that they. That they trusted me with that. Like, that felt like such, like, an honor to, like, have to have this character in your hands. And then I sent him over the edit, and they had no notes. Yeah, no notes.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. That's great.

[David Dobrik]

Which was fucking heard of crazy. Like, this guy's only been around. Like, there's only two movies, right? He made one big movie and then another big movie, and, like, that was kind of it. I'm sure he's an other press as Borat, but, like, that was the first time he brought out the ice cream truck since the first movie. So it was like 10 years or whatever. And, like, the fact that they just Gave me the keys to play with. It was fucking incredible.

[Jason Nash]

You ever meet Jack Black?

[David Dobrik]

Jack Black? Yes. Yeah. You don't remember this? Do you remember the story?

[Jason Nash]

Oh, wait, was it at the Teen Choice.

[David Dobrik]

It was at the Teen Choice Awards. I was hosting the show and I'm backstage and. And I'm like showing my zone.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And. And Jack Black walks by and goes dobrik. And puts his. Puts his hand up to give me a high five.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And I walk right by.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh my God. I remember that.

[David Dobrik]

And then Natalie, what did you say? You were the one that called me back. Or Megan. Someone's like, yo, you just fucking. You just walked by Jack Black trying to give you. And obviously he played it off in the most Jack Black way possible.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I think he reenacted or something. Or something.

[David Dobrik]

Either he either high fived himself or he was like, okay. But I turned around right after. Yeah, so. So that's where I got to. That's where I got to meet him. That. That was the same time I Met Robert Downey Jr.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yes.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Remember?

[Jason Nash]

Oh, that's the biggest one.

[David Dobrik]

It's the biggest night of my life. That was the last time the Teen Choice Awards were on tv. So it makes you think, did I crush the hosting job where no one could ever beat it, or did I do so poorly where the ratings were so low? That was a big fucking. That was a big award show.

[Jason Nash]

Huge.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like the fact that Robert Downey was there, Taylor Swift was there, Jack Black was there, the Jonas Brothers were there. That was really bizarre.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Y.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I don't see that too often. Well, like for those types of award shows, I guess.

[Jason Nash]

No, that's a big, big.

[David Dobrik]

Actually, no, you kind of do.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like, you see choice, like winning of the surfboard is. Was a big deal.

[Jason Nash]

Like, do you guys think that, like, people don't care about celebrities anymore?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I think people are like destigmatized to celebrity a little bit. Because it's like you just. You get so much content of people now.

[David Dobrik]

I think they're a little bit more annoyed. And I think, I think like everyone's kind of a celebrity in their own right now. Like Taylor fangirls over this fucking girl on TikTok that has like 40,000 followers, sends me her tiktoks every day. If I had any option to surprise her with anybody, it'd be her like over fucking Jennifer Lopez. Like, that's. That's who I'm bringing in. That's her celebrity. Like no questions asked. So I just think, I just think there's so many niches now where. Yeah, you just, like, find more people that, like, are tailored to you.

[Jason Nash]

But, like, there's not. There's not like big stars anymore. Right. Are there new stars?

[David Dobrik]

Yes, there are.

[Natalie Mariduena]

There are big stars.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, there are. Okay.

[Jason Nash]

Who?

[David Dobrik]

Fucking Taylor Swift.

[Jason Nash]

Movies, Movies. Obviously there'll always be singers.

[David Dobrik]

Timothee Chalamet, I think you're just in like an awkward era right now where, like, the new is replacing the old.

[Jason Nash]

Timothee Chalamet. I love, I love. I agree, but I couldn't name somebody else besides him.

[David Dobrik]

But, but, but I just. I think we're like on the cusp of it.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. You think some people coming.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, like, there's so many young actors and actresses that I feel like are about to like, switch into like, Zendaya. Like your Zendaya's, your Hailee Steinfelds, your Madeline Clines, your Ross Butler, Sydney Sweeney, Ross Smith, Sydney Sweeneys. Like, I feel like these people are like, in a couple years will be like, these are our A listers.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I agree that it's like shifted though, where it's not like I feel like there used to be like one really big male star and one really big female star that would book so many roles. Like, now I feel like it's a little more spread out.

[Jason Nash]

I don't know. I think something's missing.

[David Dobrik]

Well, it's also the stardom is like, less mysterious than it used to be.

[Jason Nash]

That's a good point.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you can't, like, you can't be Brad Pitt or DiCaprio. Where, like, you only see them on the carpet now. Like, now, like, I feel bad for DiCaprio every time I see fucking. And like, I saw a video of him, like, leaving a bathroom and I'm like, that's just like.

[Jason Nash]

Well, wait, what happens? He gets paparazzi.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Not even paparazzi. It's just like, people.

[David Dobrik]

He's just like. I mean, I guess you can't say you feel bad. Cause that's part of it. But like. But like, yeah, like, I mean, it's just like everyone. Everyone is now the press, right? Like, it's like everyone has a phone. And every time you point your phone at somebody that's a big star, it's going to get clicks. Like, that's just how the algorithms work.

[Jason Nash]

So not as fun to be a celebrity anymore, right?

[David Dobrik]

I mean, no, you haven't seen like, interviews, like, with like, celebrities. Like, I think Ashton Kutcher was talking about it. Like, it must suck to be a celebrity now because he's like there's. I can't even imagine that. No phones in the club.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. I can't imagine.

[David Dobrik]

Like, and I'm so grateful for social media because it gave me my life.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But like, I can. I'm also very lucky that I was born in a time where there was no social media. And dude, there's nothing better. Like, you know when there's like memes on TikTok and you're like, it's like a. It's like a picture of like a bedroom from like 2020, from like 2013. Birds are chirping outside, the sun is like coming through the. And it's like there's like something playing on the tv. It's like old timey. And it feels like. And everyone's like, I wish I could be back in this moment. And I think the reason that moment doesn't exist anymore is social media. You're always on your phone. You can always reach anybody. Before, I had to call home phones and like, if I wanted to talk to a girl or a guy that I want to be friends with or whatever, like, I had to get their phone number and make a plan, have my parents drive. Like, it was like a thing.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And now it's just like, should we go here, let me check the story. Nope, looks lame. Should we go here, let me check the story. Nope, looks lame. Too many people. Like, it's just like all the mystery of anything is gone now. Like, now you know everything about a single person before you even meet them. Or at least you think you do through social media. Or like, you don't have to go to a restaurant because you're seeing all the reviews and people tasting the food. And you'll see in the videos because everyone's a critic. So it's just like the mystery of life and the magic of figuring things out is gone because of social media, but also is inevitable.

[Jason Nash]

So I don't know, is there somebody, somebody that you've met that you like, had a, had a bad opinion of and then you met them and they were great.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I kind of felt that way about like meeting like Kylie and Kendall.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like, I didn't anticipate them even acknowledging my presence, you know, and they were like, like, when I first met Kylie, like, she gave me a big hug and I was like, you don't know me. I am literally.

[Jason Nash]

Me too.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I couldn't believe she was rat down the street.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Video of you. Like, we were roller skating rink or something and I was starring Kylie and You're, like, in the back, like, dancing, like, what's going on? We should do like name drop Mondays or something. Like once every two months, we name drop the last couple months of celebrities.

[Jason Nash]

Okay, okay.

[David Dobrik]

But one of the craziest run ins I've had recently is Jason Nash.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

At Erewhon. I thought that was crazy. I mean, how long have I known Jason? I don't think I've ever run into him in public in the wild.

[Jason Nash]

You want to know something?

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Jason Nash]

Earlier in the day, I was. I was already at Erewhon, and the valet comes up to me and he goes, you just missed David.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. And then I went back a second time, and I usually I'm never there more than once in a day. And you were in line with me.

[David Dobrik]

That was crazy. He was saying right behind me in line. I. I thought I was hallucinating.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, it just made no sense. I mean, it is like. It is like seeing your teacher outside of school, like times 10.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, that's really.

[David Dobrik]

That's my favorite celebrity sighting. Jason Nash at Erewhon. All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks for tuning in.
