Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. David’s Second Ferrari: The Story Behind the Gift

• The Setup: David gets a surprise visit from SteveWillDoIt, leading to an elaborate pool bet.

  • Three months prior, David repeatedly won against Steve's friends, collecting $100,000 in cash.
  • Steve returned, hoping to win back his money, and brought a supposed professional pool player disguised as an Uber Eats driver.
  • The bet escalated: if David won, he got Steve's $425,000 watch; if he lost, he'd lose $25,000.

• The Game: David won again, noting the pool player was "good but wasn't a professional."

  • (02:22 - David Dobrik): “I think I had, like, serious home court advantage or something.”
  • (03:47 - David Dobrik): “Honestly, actually probably one of the worst games in pool I've played in my life... I should have won that.”

• The Reveal: Steve pretended to vandalize David's cars in a rage, only to surprise him with the gift of a Ferrari Purosangue SUV, his second Ferrari.

  • (05:40 - David Dobrik): “It's a Ferrari Purosangue... It's a V12, and it's a fucking insane car.”

---

2. The Emotional Dilemma of Extravagant Gifts

• David’s Discomfort: Despite the excitement, David felt guilty accepting such an expensive gift from someone he'd known less than a year.

  • (08:44 - David Dobrik): “I'm, like, this is a very expensive car to get from somebody... I was very, like, I felt very guilty driving.”

• Refusing the Gift? Natalie and David tried to return the car, only to be told by Steve’s accountant that there was “no going back” after the gift is made public on video.

  • (10:42 - Natalie): "Once Steve gives you something and he makes a video with it, there's no going back. There's no giving it back. There's nothing."

• Reflecting on Kindness: They compare it to when they've gifted cars in the past—turning down a gift ruins the giver's joy.

  • (09:27 - David Dobrik): “I've surprised a lot of people with cars. And when anybody turns it down, I’m like, dude, it’s fucking yours... So I know not to do that.”

• Imposter Syndrome: David shares feelings of being undeserving and the awkwardness of influencer extravagance.

  • (16:43 - David Dobrik): “YouTuber world is really bizarre... There’s a little imposter syndrome with it. And I think that's like, kind of what I'm, fighting here.”

---

3. Behind-the-Scenes of Viral Generosity

• SteveWillDoIt’s Gifting Motivation: Steve’s content is built around massive monetary giveaways, even as he jokes about being broke.

  • (14:14 - David Dobrik): “He’s giving away $50,000 or $100,000 every video… he just pulled it back to 50 because he's like, I literally have no more money.”

• Content Realities: The group muses on how giveaways are financed, the performance art of influencer rivalry, and recipient expectations.

• Discussion on Re-gifting: Ideas about auctioning the car for charity are dismissed as it would be disrespectful to the intent of the gift.

  • (15:38 - David Dobrik): “I don't think he'd like that… he gave it to me so, like, you can enjoy it.”

---

4. Friendship, Wealth, and Keeping up Appearances

• Other Car Stories: David recalls giving friends Mercedes cars and the unintended stress those gifts bring.

  • (15:52 - David Dobrik): “I got John a Mercedes and he kept driving his Corolla. And I was like, John, I was getting so mad fucking driving this thing.”

• Parking Drama: Lighthearted banter on the parking hierarchy among the friend group and the garage’s tight real estate.

  • (18:22 - John Castro): “Out of, like, the nine spots, three of them are now David. So I was like, all right, that's too much.”

---

5. YouTube Pressures & Career Realities

• Performance Anxiety: Jason laments his “1 out of 10” YouTube video, while they discuss the psychological pressure of metrics.

  • (20:01 - Jay): “You know how on YouTube a good video is 1 out of 10?... So you got a 10 today?”
  • (20:26 - Jay): "I got a 10 today. Changed the thumbnail."

• Video Titles: The importance of clickable titles is debated, with comedic critique on why Jason’s "rating the fanciest public bathrooms in LA" flopped.

  • (20:40 - David Dobrik): “I think if you went the other way. No.”

• David’s TV Show Earnings: A deep dive into how TV pays compared to YouTube, leading to playful confusion over his actual paycheck from "America’s Most Musical Family."

  • (33:11 - David Dobrik): “TV always pays a lot. There’s this YouTube driven propaganda that television does not pay... It is just not true.”

  • *(32:43 - Natalie): “It says $300,000. But you weren't getting paid 300k a week, obviously…”

  • (32:57 - Natalie): “I think it’s like 900k. I think you're right.”

  • (33:27 - Jay): “In the second and third season, you get paid a crazy amount more.”

---

6. Social Change, Vices, and Outlawed Behaviors

• What Will We Ban Next? The group predicts future outlaws: vapes, motorcycles, even football—commenting on how today’s normal often becomes tomorrow’s taboo.

  • *(37:41 - David Dobrik): “Like a vape... I agree. I think it should be cigarettes only.”
  • (37:47 - Jay): “Also motorcycles. Motorcycles are crazy. They're insane. Like football. So fucking dangerous.”
  • (38:25 - David Dobrik): “They got rid of dodgeball at high school and middle school... because it's too rough, and it's like, you get picked on.”

  • (36:29 - David Dobrik): “I'll watch videos from, like, 10 years ago... and I'll be like, this is so fucked up.”

• Time Machine Cultures: Jason shares experiences observing traditional gender roles in other cultures, likening it to stepping into a temporal bubble.

  • (39:21 - Jay): "It feels like you went into a time machine. But that's the way they are now."

---

7. Valentine’s Day, Love, and Reluctant Matchmaking

• V-Day Pressure: Jason feels the strain of Valentine's Day expectations, while David claims he'd prefer low-key, genuine gestures if he had a girlfriend.

  • (40:17 - David Dobrik): “You set up something at home. And you set up like a date like at the beach... Candle lit.”
  • (40:33 - John Castro): “I could never see David doing any of this. It's one thing to say it…”

• David on Love: David earnestly waxes poetic about being in love and how it transforms your behavior—mocked affectionately by the group.

  • (41:31 - David Dobrik): “Why I love love is because it is exactly how it's described in songs, poetry, written words.”

• Matchmaking Banter: The gang jokes about setting each other up, the embarrassment of using a matchmaker, and Natalie’s single status.

  • *(44:36 - Jay): “Why not matchmaker?”
  • (44:42 - Natalie): “Yeah. It's like, oh, I'm so desperate, I can't do this myself. That's how I feel.”

Transcript

[Jay]

Views. What's up, guys?

[David Dobrik]

Welcome back to Views. We are back with another pod. Natalie and Jay are in the room. It's good to be back after all the traveling. I keep referencing the traveling.

[Jay]

You've been back.

[David Dobrik]

I know. Sick of the traveling. We've been back for a month. I keep doing this in June.

[Jay]

Are you still suffering? Are you still suffering jet lag, or are you traumatized from travel?

[David Dobrik]

Just till sunburned, but I'm a whole lot happier and more excited because you're talking to a dual akimbo Ferrari owner.

[Natalie]

A dual akimbo Ferrari owner.

[Jay]

What does that mean, akimbo?

[David Dobrik]

Akimbo is when you have two.

[Jay]

Oh, akimbo.

[David Dobrik]

That's a good word. This is crazy. I got gifted my second Ferrari.

[Natalie]

It's insane.

[David Dobrik]

It's crazy. It's crazy. And I don't even know how to, like. I don't even know how to start talking about this, because it's a lot. It's like, an overwhelming stuff. Steve will do. It came by well. First off, we played pool, like, three months ago, and it was his friend that challenged me, and it was such an easy. I was like, I'm gonna win 100%. I won 25 grand. It was a $25,000 bet. And then his other friend challenged me for double or nothing. I won that. And his other friend challenged me for double or nothing, and I won that. So he paid me $100,000 in cash the next day. So he calls me the other day, and he goes, I'm coming back for my money. And I'm like, got it. Like, it's only fair. Like, if I lost three times in a row, I'd be pissed. So it's like, okay, he's coming back. So then he called me. He's on his way back. I'm assuming he's gonna pull some shit. Like, he's gonna have, like, a pool player or something come by to play me. Yeah, and he did. So he picked up a guy from the billiards hall, and he brought him over to play me and Doug. Doug. His name was Doug. Nice guy. And Steve, basically. Steve, right before we took. Decided to play. Said David, if you lose, you'll be 25 grand. But if you beat me, I'll give you my $425,000 watch, which is a fucking stupid bet. And I told him. I told him. There I was like, I just want to do 25k versus 25k.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, nothing. Like, I don't care that he's a professional pool player. Like, I already feel weird that I took that. I beat three of your friends. So, like, let's just. Let's just call it even here. And then the professional pool player just had a bad day, I guess.

[Jay]

Jay.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I don't know what was going. I think I had. I. I must have had, like, serious home court advantage or something.

[Jay]

He wasn't a professional.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I don't think he was a professional. I think he was.

[David Dobrik]

You think he lied?

[Jay]

I love Steiny and Steve, but they did not do their research on this pool player.

[David Dobrik]

No, no.

[Jay]

They went to a pool hall and their friend was talking this guy up, and the guy, Dave, you saw the guy play? I mean. Yeah, no, he was good, but he wasn't a professional.

[David Dobrik]

No, it was. Honestly, actually probably one of the. The worst games in pool I've played in my life. Yeah, Like, I, Like, I. I should have won that.

[Jay]

Well, you went. And then I was like, oh, it's over.

[David Dobrik]

I like, normally when you play a pool player, it's. You only get one at max, two to three turns.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then it's. And then all the balls in the pocket.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But I got to go like four times. Yeah, four or five times, actually.

[Jay]

You played well. You played well under pressure.

[David Dobrik]

I didn't play the.

[Jay]

You won.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. And I ended up beating him. Yeah. Which was crazy.

[Natalie]

And he was also.

[Jay]

He was helping you. He was giving you. He was giving you tips. And this stunning. Steve were like, what are you doing?

[David Dobrik]

I think that's fine. Like, I think, I think I. I think that's pretty normal now.

[Jay]

$425,000. Watch. You're not giving tips.

[Natalie]

But also, he was in it. Like, he was going to make money too. So I would think that he would want to make his own money.

[Jay]

He was paid. And then if he won, he was paid more.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So if he won, he would have been paid the 25k. And then at the end, signing was like. Yeah. He came up to me, he's like, can you give me the extra 5k you guys told me you're gonna get? And Sonny was like, dude, you fucking lost it for us. Just go. I mean, I already paid him five grand just to come over and play.

[Natalie]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

So they paid him a good price. But the thing that, that the Pooh player said, that was interesting. He was like, I just played a game for $500,000 this morning.

[Natalie]

What?

[Jay]

Yeah, he said, but they said that.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I also. Maybe my. Maybe my, like, turf or whatever. My homework table. My table plays Just so different.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, like, it's like if he's at the pool hall every fucking day and he comes to play one game and the first, like, the first game, he's bound to miss a couple because he's never, ever played on my table.

[Jay]

That's true.

[David Dobrik]

Right. So I feel like that's like a huge, huge advantage there. Anyway, and then.

[Jay]

At what point did you know that something was up?

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Jay]

And then at what point did you know there was more to come?

[David Dobrik]

The pool player walked in disguised as an Uber Eats driver.

[Jay]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But he, like, stepped into my house, like, a hair too early. Like, he, like. Steiny and Steve were like. They were like, you should come hang out with us. But as they said, you should, he was already stepping into the house. And then I wanted to go check the receipt on the Uber because I wanted to see how long ago they ordered the food, because I was like, they've probably been planning this for, like, three hours.

[Jay]

Yeah. But, yeah, I love the mental chess you play with it with a prank.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I just. I'm always on high alert. And as a YouTuber in the room, I'm just like, what's going on? And then. Yeah. And then Steve, out of rage, took my pool stick, which is, by the way, my winning pool stick. I am always winning with this one. It's the red one. We're gonna have to find another one. And went to break my Aston Martin. Went to go, like, shatter the window. Pool stick broke in half. And then a little bit of it ended up on the other Ferrari that was gifted from Corinna a couple years ago. And then he's like, yeah, Dobrik, I'm just kidding. I came, wanted to surprise you with a new car.

[Jay]

And what is the car?

[David Dobrik]

It's a Ferrari Pursangue. I actually don't even know how to pronounce it properly.

[Jay]

Say it again.

[David Dobrik]

Ferrari purosangue.

[Jay]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

I think it means, like, pure. It's like purebred. Like, pure sport. I think it means probably in Italian. It's a SUV.

[Jay]

Pure ridiculousness.

[David Dobrik]

It's. Yeah, it's 12. V12. It's a V12. Sorry.

[Jay]

Thank you, John.

[David Dobrik]

It's a V12, and it's a fucking insane car. It's actually. Can I. There was a moment in time I was going to get it, but then I was like, this is ridiculously expensive. I'm not getting it. And Steve said this in his video, too. David's had the same car forever. My Aston Martin I've had forever. And that's the only car I've purchased. Again, I don't like to spend a lot of money. I'm very, very simplistic with it. Just house and a ride and I've had that car forever and I have no problems with it. But yeah, Steve said it was whack that I kept driving that thing, so he wanted to get me a new one. I have no idea.

[Jay]

And the doors on the. It's a four seater, but the doors open the other way in the backseat. Right. Suicide doors.

[David Dobrik]

I open like a Rolls Royce would.

[Jay]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

It's a crazy car home.

[Jay]

Did you take it out?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, I've been driving all day.

[Jay]

Oh, here'd you go?

[David Dobrik]

We literally just drove around West Hollywood. I haven't driven around for no reason for a really long time. And, like, that's kinda what I was.

[Jay]

Did anyone see you in it?

[David Dobrik]

No, dude. It's like, got fully tinted windows.

[Jay]

Nice.

[David Dobrik]

And this was. I'm not even kidding. Two weeks ago I was like, maybe not nice.

[Jay]

Maybe you wanna be seen.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. Two weeks ago I was telling Tay. I was like, I'm kind of over the Aston Martin blue that I have because everyone knows I'm driving this car. Like, everyone. And there's one more in LA that is like that color.

[Jay]

When Steve posts his video, they're going to know that's you too.

[David Dobrik]

No, but it's like the windows are tinted. You can't even see me. But there's one other. There's one other Aston Martin that's the same color. And when that drives around in West Hollywood, I'll get like, friends will send me pictures like, I just saw you in West Hollywood. So, like, that car's really easily recognizable, but yeah. Anyway, brand new car. Can't believe it.

[Jay]

Do you feel like a third one is showing up any day now?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, maybe. I just. I need it to bounce out.

[Jay]

Any other YouTubers?

[Natalie]

I mean, do you feel like you truly are the luckiest person?

[Jay]

Right?

[Natalie]

Like, it's crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, so this is why I want.

[Natalie]

I mean, it's insane.

[David Dobrik]

This is why I want to talk about this.

[Natalie]

Everybody that I've told, like, my various family members that I'm like, david got another one. They're all like, Jesus fucking Christ.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no.

[Jay]

I feel bad for you, actually.

[David Dobrik]

Well, I called you last night.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I called you and I called a lot of people and I was like, I don't want to keep this car. This episode of Views is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

I was very, like, I felt very guilty driving. I'm like, this is a very expensive car.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

To get from somebody like, this isn't. I know. Corinna got me one. But I've known Corona for a really long time.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And there's, like, history in that. Right. Like, we both, like, started from the bot. Like, I've known Steve properly for, like, a year. Like, properly. So, like, it just. I was just like, this is. You know. But I, like, I didn't know. I didn't know what to do. So I told Natalie. I was like, we have to give it back somehow. And, like. And with Steve, I think, oh, they cut this out of the video. I just watched it. But I was telling him. I was like, it's very. The second he showed me it, I was already saying thank you and accepting it rather than doing, I'm not gonna. I don't want this.

[Jay]

You can't, because you can't say that in that moment.

[David Dobrik]

And you also can't do it in that moment because you ruin the moment.

[Jay]

That's right.

[David Dobrik]

And I know that because I've surpr. Surprise a lot of people with cars. And when anybody turns it down, I'm like, dude, it's fucking yours. Can you please just stop denying it? Like, it's yours. It's here for you. So, like, I know not. I know not to do that. But, like, afterwards, I was like, okay.

[Jay]

I could see me giving you a car, and you'd be like, I can't take this. All right. Yeah, nevermind.

[David Dobrik]

No, but afterward, you don't want it.

[Jay]

Okay.

[John Castro]

So if Jason offered you a car, you can say no. I think that's what Jason said.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm taking it from Jason for sure.

[John Castro]

Sorry, Jay.

[Jay]

You could use a Honda Civic. Couldn't you be nice?

[David Dobrik]

No. Afterwards, I had a big dilemma. I called you. I called a bunch of people, and I was like, how do I return this to him without being rude? Like, I don't. Because I think he also gives people things in a. Like, he loves doing it. And it's almost. I know it's gonna sound bizarre, but it's, like, offensive to turn it down.

[Jay]

Mm.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, we called his. Wanted to call his mom, but then his mom handed us over to, like, the guy that runs all his, like, accounting and everything. His business. And Natalie was like, david can't accept this gift. Like, you need to. Like, how do we return this?

[Jay]

Blah, blah.

[David Dobrik]

And the guy was just like, nope, nope, can do. Like, I know Steve. And once he gives it. What did he say?

[Natalie]

He was just like, oh, Natalie, I understand, but this is. Once Steve gives you something and he makes a video with it, there's no going back. There's no giving it back. There's nothing.

[Jay]

I gotta meet Steve's accountant.

[Natalie]

It's yours.

[Jay]

I gotta see this guy, what he's doing. I would love to spend a day with Steve's accountant. I mean, just to see what he's doing.

[David Dobrik]

Crazy. What are you dealing with?

[Jay]

What did he sound like? What does Steve's accountant sound like? Was he, like, a New York guy?

[Natalie]

No, he was Spanish.

[Jay]

Spanish guy.

[Natalie]

Okay.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Yeah. It was really interesting. I mean, everybody that I've, like, I've talked to, like, various people from his team over the past, like, couple days, and everyone's like. And I'm like, you know, David doesn't need this. Like, we can give it back at any time, whatever.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And, like, I love it to bits. Like, that's not the concern at all. Like, if I could. If I could get that car on my own, I would in a heartbeat. Like, even if he's. Like, if he took it from me, I'd want. I'd seek it out to try to get it myself one day. Yeah, well, that's the thing too.

[Natalie]

Like, you already had your Aston. And so, like, his whole mentality, it was like trying to one up it and do something, like, give you something bigger, better, you know, whatever. Which is already crazy because the Aston's already a fucking crazy car.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, like, done driving around this piece of shit. Yeah.

[Natalie]

It's like acting like Aston is not a nice car.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I'm driving or something from the 40s.

[Jay]

I spit on it on the way in. I spit on the ass.

[David Dobrik]

But originally he called Natalie. I found this out later that he wanted to blow up what was the original idea.

[Natalie]

He wanted to come here, steal the car out of the driveway, and then you would come down at some point and be like, where's my car? Oh, my God, I wonder who took it? And then we would blindfold you, put you on Steve's plane take you to Vegas.

[John Castro]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

Meet the car in. It was a whole operation meet. You, meet the car in Vegas. You, everybody on the plane go to the middle of desert, blow up the Aston.

[John Castro]

That's fudgeing insane.

[Natalie]

And then, and then he would gift you a car at the end after he blew up your car.

[David Dobrik]

Did you know a car was being gifted? No.

[Natalie]

I mean, I. They asked me, so I had an idea, but they would never. They didn't want to tell me the full details because they thought I would tell you and they thought I'd ruin it.

[David Dobrik]

Right. Okay. I did a really good job.

[Jay]

Which you would have.

[Natalie]

No, no.

[Jay]

You wouldn't have told.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no. I wouldn't have wanted to know.

[Natalie]

I mean, Steve told him that he was coming over to film, you know, like, he knew that Steve was going to.

[David Dobrik]

They did the blow up thing, though. Like, I said this also. I was like, that's not. She's not like that. He's not just gonna come and fucking destroy something. Like, the second I'm in the desert at the second, and the second my car's gone, I would have been like, you're getting me something new. Like, do you know what I mean? Especially if he's putting dynamite in it and he's. Boy, he's not just looking at a.

[Jay]

Face Would you make when they were blowing the ass. What would you say? I take the blindfold?

[Natalie]

That's what I kept saying, too. I was like, you guys, he really loves that car. Like, and it's also, like, it's not a car that they just have at the Aston Martin dealership where he could just replace it.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's a very special car.

[Natalie]

Specific interior, specific.

[John Castro]

They don't make that color anymore.

[David Dobrik]

They retired the color. Yeah, it's like a big deal. Yeah, you got a fire.

[Natalie]

I had to make a decision. They were on the phone with me. They're like, are you going to get in trouble for this? And I was like, no, I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

But what was interesting, what Steve said. And, like, first of all, he likes making videos, right? Like, like. And he told me that. He's like, he's like, dave, I made this month. Like, I love making videos. Like, this is. This is what I do. Like, I want to make videos like this. And I think he also said, I've been seeing you drive around this Aston Martin for the last, like four or five years, and, like, I'm going to get excited to see you driving this around for the next couple of years. So I think I do understand that it's a very difficult thing for me to process because he has such an ungodly amount of money, even though currently he's broken. So basically his whole bit in his videos is doing a financial crisis. He's trying to. He's. He's giving away $50,000 or $100,000 every video to a random commenter. Yeah, it used to be 100k. He just pulled it back to 50 because he's like, I literally have no more money. He has 200k left in his bank account. But he makes. And, but even his giveaways he's saying he's financing, which is really funny. I don't know, Jay, what'd you take of the whole situation?

[Jay]

I mean, I, I thought it was great. He's doing his thing and I thought it was really cool that, you know, you got something like, you know, you deserve it.

[David Dobrik]

Come on, you fucker.

[Jay]

I know you needed a third car, man. I know. I looked at the two cars in the driveway and I said, driving two cars at once isn't fun. Let's see him drive three.

[David Dobrik]

I called like eight people and seven of them I think said to keep the car.

[Jay]

I said to keep the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's nothing you can do.

[David Dobrik]

John said keep it. Actually, everyone in this room said keep it. Yeah, yeah, it's okay.

[Jay]

And also, you're embarking on a new journey. Journey with your videos. And I feel like the car can be something in those videos, you know, like. Right.

[Natalie]

No, I mean, yeah, no, you could use any car.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, Jay, you don't need the Ferrari.

[Jay]

Yeah, well, I said you should take.

[David Dobrik]

It's the coolest car ever. But it's like is. You know, it's.

[Jay]

Yeah, I said you should take it and like auction it off or do something. But I don't give it to charity.

[David Dobrik]

But I think that's. I. I don't think he'd like that.

[Jay]

Really?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, cuz, Cuz like that'd be like me, like. Yeah. Cuz he gave it to me so.

[Jay]

Like, you can enjoy it.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Like if I give someone a car, like I remember I got John a Mercedes.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And he kept driving his Corolla. And I was like, John, I was getting so mad fucking driving this thing.

[Jay]

Why did you keep driving the Corolla?

[David Dobrik]

And I was just saying, even like when we're together, like, because I'd come visit Chicago and all three of my friends, I got cars for all that matching Mercedes. And I'm like, John, we're all meeting up at fucking Liquid Fusion. You gotta bring your Mercedes.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And he just like. He's just like, I just can't. Like, my parents drive it.

[John Castro]

No, I was just like. I mean, I didn't like taking it to work.

[Jay]

Too flashy for you.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[John Castro]

Especially that Mercedes. Like, Tesla here is like, you are like. You know, you kind of fit in California, but over there, driving a red.

[David Dobrik]

Mercedes, you look like CEO.

[John Castro]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, what the fuck?

[John Castro]

And my manager drives and pulls up next to me, and I was like, yeah, that's my car.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

YouTuber world is really bizarre. No, but, like, I'm so, so, so grateful that I got that gift. I don't. Yeah. There's a little imposter syndrome with it. And I think that's like, kind of what I'm, like, fighting here.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But I mean, Steve, to fucking thank you again. I can't say thank you enough. Crazy, crazy gift.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

You could pass it on to one.

[David Dobrik]

Of your friends, you know, Would you complete the legacy? And what?

[John Castro]

You have the Ferrari F8. A Ferrari Parasangue.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. What else is there?

[John Castro]

I know you got the. The Holy Trinity.

[David Dobrik]

You gotta.

[John Castro]

What's the third?

[David Dobrik]

You're gonna keep your ass with another Ferrari?

[Jay]

You have to get a garage soon.

[David Dobrik]

There is no Holy Trinity. You're just listing nice cars. Yeah, I was just saying, like, what other nice car do you want? Yeah, I think I'm good right now.

[Natalie]

Like, he needs a third. Did you notice.

[Jay]

Did you notice how well he pronounced segue?

[David Dobrik]

I was like, I think John only speaks Italian. Well, anyway, what's new with you guys? You guys have a good weekend?

[Jay]

It's Thursday, but.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[John Castro]

Cleared out the garage.

[David Dobrik]

That was really. You did?

[Jay]

Hell, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. You didn't see the cars in it now. Yeah. Shut up.

[Natalie]

The car's in it.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. So all John needed was some motivation. Yeah.

[Jay]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

John just needed another car to block his car. And he's like, this is enough.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[John Castro]

I was like, that's it.

[David Dobrik]

That's where I draw the line. Yeah. He's like, I'm actually going to clean out the garage today.

[Jay]

Your motive was personal.

[John Castro]

You don't understand. The parking space in the house is so expensive.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[John Castro]

Because when Ilya comes in, he blocks, like, three spots.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah, he does park like a demon.

[Natalie]

Parks like an idiot.

[David Dobrik]

Parks like an asshole.

[John Castro]

So really, out of, like, the nine spots, three of them are now David. So I was like, all right, that's too much.

[Jay]

Yeah. But you gotta get your car in there. Cause you gotta charge too. Yeah.

[John Castro]

And the charging spot, there's only two spots.

[Jay]

Yeah. Mm.

[John Castro]

And Ilya likes to take. You know, he parks there because he likes.

[David Dobrik]

I think it's interesting, like, when people feel that they've warmed up enough for the driveway.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Oh, that's so funny. What a great time. I love it.

[Jay]

I park in the street, my man.

[David Dobrik]

I. I think it's. Well, first off, that is pretty. Like, for a long time I didn't know people were parking on the street.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then. And then I, like, it hit me. I'm like, wait, there's a lot of people here. There's not that many cars. Where the fuck is everyone parking? And then like, Taylor was like, oh, yeah, they always park on the street. I'm like, they always park on the street. That's so weird.

[John Castro]

Like, there was no street parking today. All the way up the hill.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[John Castro]

Because everyone was.

[Jay]

Well, if you don't know you. And then you. You have to. You've got to go somewhere and then they have to move your cars in the way you feel like an.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I get that.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay, that makes sense.

[John Castro]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

If you don't know you. But like, the fact that Jason is still parking on the street is twofold.

[Jay]

I don't want to be a bother. And I also. I'm too lazy to go move my car.

[David Dobrik]

I think Jason doesn't want to move the car.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Jason also comes, like, for the podcast, and God know, he doesn't know how long it's going to take. That's true. You know, if I'm not a good dealer, that could take four hours, right?

[Jay]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

You could be here.

[Jay]

It's a hostage situation. Every time we record. I had a video tank today, Dave. I don't know if you've ever had experience with that.

[David Dobrik]

What the fuck?

[Jay]

I had a YouTube video that I worked really hard on that I thought was good.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, one of the dailies.

[Jay]

Fucking tank.

[David Dobrik]

Which.

[Jay]

Which 1 out of 10. Then a guy the other day goes. He's. He's guy writes 12 out of 10. And I'm like, you motherfucker. But you know how on YouTube a good video is 1 out of 10?

[David Dobrik]

That's funny. Yeah. So. So how YouTube works is they'll give you. Which is actually horrifying.

[Jay]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

I don't like the stat, but when.

[Jay]

You get a one out of ten, you're so happy.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jay]

Yeah. You're so stoked.

[David Dobrik]

But like, so it tells you out of your last 10 videos where your video is performing at that. So like you can check in an hour and a half in and it'll be like your last 10 videos. At an hour and a half in, we're at this. And this video ranks 1 the best or 10 the worst. So you got a 10 today?

[Jay]

I got a 10 today. Change the thumbnail.

[Natalie]

What was it? What's the video called?

[Jay]

Well, the video is raiding the fanciest public bathrooms in Los Angeles.

[Natalie]

Oh. Which maybe.

[Jay]

Maybe that grossed everyone out.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, rating the what?

[Jay]

Rating the fanciest public bathrooms.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, I think it's the. I think it's fanciest.

[John Castro]

I think it's a title.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Get Rid of Fancy.

[David Dobrik]

I think your presentation in the grossest in Los Angeles. Yeah.

[Jay]

Really? Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I think if you went the other way. No.

[Jay]

Fuck.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

John Castro was a 1 out of 10. His video.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Jay]

Oh, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So, Jason, I was doing daily vlogs. He's going to basically all my roommates. What was it, John? It was who's the better assistant.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Yes. Did John. Did Alex doing Julia tomorrow.

[David Dobrik]

So I thought it was like really fucked up. Why?

[Jay]

For the day?

[David Dobrik]

No, it was just like. Like, John's my close friend before anything. But it was like, is he qualified enough to be David Dobrik's assistant? I was like, this is a weird way to put it.

[Jay]

You know what? He beat me.

[David Dobrik]

Well, okay, good. That's really funny. But.

[Jay]

But we actually did put him to the test and he's quite qualified.

[David Dobrik]

And then. And now Jay is also going to be making a video with John's girlfriend.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Julia. This is one of the next videos coming up. But what can people expect?

[Jay]

She's gonna teach us how to read.

[David Dobrik]

Which is really funny. And that's not a joke. She's actually teaching how to read. Yeah, because she reads like a good amount of books.

[Jay]

She's a big book reader. Then Saturday's. Toby.

[Natalie]

Your brother Toby.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Jay]

Yeah, actually, yeah, I'm doing a video with Toby.

[David Dobrik]

Deadass.

[Jay]

No. Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God. It'd be so fun.

[John Castro]

You going to Kongsbad would be really funny for a video.

[Jay]

I wonder.

[David Dobrik]

I wonder if Toby sent me a. Toby sent me a video of like one of my glamour or like one of those, like, interviews I used to do like in 2019, like for like YouTube channels. And it was like him and with a notepad saying, taking notes on how to be successful. It's really funny.

[Jay]

Oh, that's cute.

[David Dobrik]

He keeps screenshotting my snaps every time I send him a snap. I had to be like, dude, stop doing that.

[Jay]

Why would he do that?

[David Dobrik]

I think he's just. He's, like, saving him to chat the.

[Jay]

Ones of Natalie's butt. Is that what he's.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I'm like, yo, Toby, this one's just for you. And then he'll save it in chat.

[Jay]

No, no.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. I think that's just, like, a normal thing to do.

[Natalie]

I mean, my sister said that to me all the time, honestly.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Jay]

Yeah. Yeah, I had a really. Go ahead.

[Natalie]

It's blackmail.

[David Dobrik]

Go. I genuinely think that's what it is. I think it's just blackmail.

[Jay]

Wyatt's been making an album, and so every night we sit in the car and he plays me songs.

[David Dobrik]

I'm so sorry.

[Jay]

And. And it'. And it's so fun. And then it's gonna be so good. I know it's gonna be good. And then the other day, his mom put on the song, and I enjoyed it ten times more when he wasn't there.

[Natalie]

Oh, does that sound.

[Jay]

Isn't that interesting? Can you maybe say why that would be?

[David Dobrik]

I think there's just less pressure. So you're actually listening to the song?

[Jay]

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

[David Dobrik]

It's gotta be that.

[Jay]

I felt pressure to say, like, this is. Dude.

[David Dobrik]

I was the host of America's Most Musical Family.

[Jay]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know if we've ever talked about this.

[Jay]

I went and saw.

[Natalie]

No, I don't think we have.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. No. So I was a judge on a Nickelodeon TV show called America's Most Musical Family. Yeah. With. Who was I. Who was Sierra and Debbie Gibson. And Nick Lachey was the host.

[Natalie]

Yes.

[Jay]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Really cool.

[Jay]

Nick Lachey was so cool.

[David Dobrik]

Nick Lachey's so cool.

[Jay]

He did our podcast.

[David Dobrik]

He did yours.

[Jay]

No, he did ours. He came over.

[David Dobrik]

Remember when Nick Lachey did our podcast?

[Jay]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

What the fuck Are you.

[Jay]

Yes. At your first house, and he came over, like, in the afternoon, and he hung with us.

[David Dobrik]

Are you fucking.

[Jay]

Am I making that up?

[Natalie]

I don't know, dude.

[David Dobrik]

I don't think so.

[Jay]

No. 100%. I met Nickochet.

[Natalie]

He definitely came over.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know.

[Jay]

No, he did.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. He's really cool. Because he's, like, a beer guy.

[Jay]

Yes.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. He's like a.

[Natalie]

He's like, such a Midwest guy.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. He's like, so out of, like, what the fuck are you doing now? He hosts all these shows. Yeah, he's just, like, the best. Like, that's the guy, man. So cool. Anyway, but that. I bring that up because one of the toughest parts was. It was a musical show.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So everyone was singing. And, like, I never enjoyed the acts as much as I could. Could be, because all I was thinking about was, what's my one note? What's my one note? What's my one note? What? Like, what am I gonna say when this is over? The camera's gonna come to me and I'm gonna have to say something. And I'm sitting with Sierra, who's a big time musician, Debbie Gibson, like, legendary musician. And I had nothing to say.

[Jay]

What would you say? What would you say?

[David Dobrik]

It's very easy the second time around because then you're like. The second time they were like. You could say either they brought the energy again or they, like, upped it, but it was a lot.

[Natalie]

It's so funny. I forgot you did that.

[David Dobrik]

It was a lot of pressure. It was really sad.

[Jay]

Did you ever have to be mean?

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jay]

No. You. Oh, you.

[David Dobrik]

You did.

[Jay]

You just chose not to be. Yeah. It was nickel.

[David Dobrik]

It was Nickelodeon.

[Jay]

It was all kids too. Right.

[David Dobrik]

If anything. If anything, Sierra or Debbie would be like, I just would love for next week. Like, that's it.

[Jay]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, that's like, nobody was being like, come on. Did you even fucking try?

[Jay]

If we gave you that job on America's got American Idol, could you be mean?

[David Dobrik]

No.

[Jay]

Could you be critical? Natalie, could you.

[David Dobrik]

I think she could be, like, probably, like. But like, not on camera.

[John Castro]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

I don't know. I mean, if, like, no one wants to be mean on camera, it's really tough. But, like, you have to be constructive.

[David Dobrik]

Like, you also have to, like, be, like, talented.

[Natalie]

There's also, like, a line where it's like, if you're obviously terrible, like, you.

[David Dobrik]

Know, but you're still hurting someone's feelings.

[Natalie]

No, but there's a way to be, like, honest about it. Like, maybe.

[David Dobrik]

Like, Simon Cowell would be very open. Like, Simon. I don't know.

[Jay]

Let's say I'm an artist, though. And Simon Cowell is like, that fucking sucked. I'll be like, okay. I gotta.

[Natalie]

I mean, that's terrible.

[Jay]

I gotta redo. I gotta fucking figure this out, bro.

[David Dobrik]

That's. That's you. But, like, a lot of people go in there, like, thinking, like, they've been fed lies through their family the whole time, that they're, like, incredible artists and then.

[Jay]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But I also think the show that I was co hosting was, like, a lot of. A lot of people that were already, like, screened to, like, to be. So everyone was good. No. No one was coming on, though.

[Jay]

Would you get paid for that?

[David Dobrik]

How much?

[Natalie]

I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. Fucking clue.

[Natalie]

I'm sure you were paid very well.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Wow.

[Natalie]

Because it's a per episode fee, you know, accumulates over whatever it is.

[Jay]

10 episodes.

[David Dobrik]

I dead ass do not know how much.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I don't know either.

[David Dobrik]

But if I was to guess, can I guess?

[Natalie]

Guess? Yeah, I mean, I have no.

[David Dobrik]

Like, how much a show like that probably pays? Yeah, at the time, probably like 50 to 75 an episode.

[Natalie]

No, no, no, no. I don't think it was that much.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, you're not.

[Natalie]

You did not make a million dollars or whatever from America's most recent school.

[Jay]

That's so funny. It's so funny that you don't know.

[Natalie]

Then you turn.

[David Dobrik]

If I was to guess, I'd probably make 14 million.

[Natalie]

Maybe some Sierra was making that. You were just like the social media star.

[Jay]

No wonder you walk around, like, loving yourself so much in your mind. You're like, made a million dollars.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God.

[David Dobrik]

I was like, david, you owe the show money.

[Natalie]

No, I was going to say like 15 to 20 per episode.

[Jay]

Yeah, that's what I would say.

[John Castro]

Oh, really?

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jay]

Maybe 10.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, bro. Natalie, come on.

[Jay]

Show up for 10.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no. I. I'm thinking 4050 an episode.

[Natalie]

No way.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, wait. No way. What am I saying? How many episodes?

[Natalie]

Eight to ten episodes.

[David Dobrik]

Eight to ten?

[Jay]

She walked away with $200,000.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I think probably. Yeah, I probably want something.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Jay]

But also, it's. TV just doesn't even pay. What you think even the best of TV does not pay.

[David Dobrik]

That's true, though. I don't know why people say that.

[Jay]

It's true, Dave.

[David Dobrik]

TV pays well if you're at a high level.

[Jay]

Okay, give me an example. I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I've never done it.

[Jay]

What do you think? What do you think Steve Carell got paid for the Office?

[David Dobrik]

Steve Carell got paid for. I fucking. I mean, what season? How many seasons?

[Jay]

I think he was getting 10 seasons. Like 500,000 an episode. That's the top. Top, top.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, like the Friends cast was making a million an episode.

[Jay]

That's the Friends cast. And they all, like you said the Office.

[David Dobrik]

It's another good one.

[Jay]

Yeah, but they all, like, fought for that and they had, like, favored nations and.

[John Castro]

How about Stranger Things? All those kids earned like a millionaire.

[Natalie]

No, they don't actually. What? The Stranger Things kids have, like, such a discrepancy in their earnings.

[Jay]

Did you see the guy Last season?

[Natalie]

I don't know. I saw. I mean, obviously.

[David Dobrik]

I think we're all guessing, guys. Yeah, let's look it up.

[Jay]

Did you see the guy? Did you see the guy?

[Natalie]

I spoke to all of them.

[David Dobrik]

Millie is not getting paid nearly as much as Noah.

[Natalie]

She deserves more.

[Jay]

But wait, this is. To this point, Netflix doesn't pay that well, because who made more?

[David Dobrik]

Noah Schnapp, final episode of Stranger Things or me on America's Most Musical Family right now. Somebody find out. Google it.

[Natalie]

I think Noah Schnapper raked it in last season.

[John Castro]

He definitely raked.

[Natalie]

I think he was the highest earner on the season.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, really?

[Natalie]

I think so.

[John Castro]

They all got paid, like the same.

[Natalie]

I mean, who knows? It's all like, just like an Instagram.

[David Dobrik]

Remember when we filmed with no snap for the vlog? Do you remember that?

[Natalie]

I don't know. I remember we met him in New.

[David Dobrik]

York, came to the Pop up, came to the Pop up in New York, and I bought like a Stranger Things Lego set. And we were just playing with this character and I was like. Like, we like, built like. Like a house from Stranger Things or something. And I was like, being another character. Like, hey, Will. And then Will was being himself.

[Natalie]

That's what it was in the vlog?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Okay, I thought you guys were just doing this for.

[John Castro]

That's so crazy.

[David Dobrik]

We just, like. We couldn't come up with a bit, so we were just playing with each other. What'd you find out?

[Jay]

Oh, I'm quite wrong. At least about Stranger Things. They make a lot of money.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Look, Google. How much did David Dobrik make per episode? America's Most Musical Family.

[Natalie]

I don't know if that stat's gonna.

[Jay]

Be because I want to fucking. I want my money. I haven't gotten it yet.

[David Dobrik]

How many years ago was that?

[Jay]

I want that contract. How much did Josh.

[Natalie]

It was like 2021.

[David Dobrik]

Like, how much did that make? Jay?

[Jay]

During the period of 2019-20, Dobrik's one of the highest paid YouTube stars with reports of ending is making 275,000amonth in ad revenue, YouTube's Adpocalypse and later approximately 15 million.

[David Dobrik]

That's a fact that I said.

[Natalie]

I know. It's funny how you said that once and it just stuck for everything that you make. $275,000 from YouTube.

[Jay]

Okay, so say you made a million dollar episode now, and it'll be in stone.

[David Dobrik]

I made a million dollars every episode of America's Most Musical Family.

[Jay]

Thank you, David.

[David Dobrik]

That's funny. Yeah. And I did make 275amonth on YouTube, but that was when YouTube. That was when I had, like, under a million subscribers and I had Adsense.

[Jay]

Mr. B said he would pay the skyscraper guy 500,000. He would have paid him a half a million dollars.

[David Dobrik]

For what?

[Jay]

And Netflix paid him nothing.

[David Dobrik]

Netflix. What?

[Natalie]

No, Netflix paid him 500k. And Mr. B said he would pay. He would have paid him more to come on his channel and do a skyscraper thing.

[Jay]

Oh, I thought he made nothing.

[John Castro]

Yeah, I mean, but that. He did it as a. He said he would. He said he would do it for free at that point.

[Natalie]

Well, yeah, I mean, that guy, obviously.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, that's a really. That's like the most interesting like. Like duality. I've seen Netflix and Mr. Beast fighting for that guy, and I actually genuinely don't know where that should belong. Where that belongs more on Mr. Beast Channel or Netflix.

[Jay]

Who gets the most exposure?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, Mr. Beast, obviously. No, but like, from a, like, mainstream perspective, Netflix, like, Netflix is, like, talked about on Mr. Beast. It'd be like another crazy thing that Jimmy did. Yeah, but Netflix, like. Like, if Netflix did anything that Mr.

[Natalie]

Beast.

[David Dobrik]

Someone just messaged me. You guys talk about Mr. Beast a lot. Here we are again. If Netflix did One thing that Mr. Beast does in his video.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Everyone would be talking about it. Yeah, because it's like Mr. Beast is so many crazy things, and it's so not normal in mainstream, like, culture where it's, like, crazy, right? Like, it's like. I mean, he's like, giving me a million dollars fucking almost per episode on that fucking show. Netflix did anything like that, it'd be like the fucking craziest thing. But it's just like, I think just like the way it's delivered the messenger and everything, it just. It's not as. I don't know, mainstream, I guess.

[Natalie]

Well, I found your pay stubs from America's Most Musical Family.

[John Castro]

No way.

[David Dobrik]

What happened?

[Natalie]

Well, they're just for a lot of money, and now I'm confused.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, how much did I get paid?

[Natalie]

I don't know if I'm reading this right, because I honestly don't really know how to read a pay stub. What?

[John Castro]

Put it into ChatGPT.

[Jay]

Is it. What's the gross?

[Natalie]

Because it says. Because it's. It's multiple pay stubs for each week, but it says $300,000. But you weren't getting paid 300k a week, obviously.

[Jay]

Told you because he. He gang. He gang shot the episodes so he would shoot like four Episodes in one week. Right.

[Natalie]

Okay. So I think it's like 900k. I think you're right.

[David Dobrik]

What I'm telling you, I was a weapon on that show. That makes sense.

[Jay]

Great energy.

[David Dobrik]

That makes this. Because I remember when you really brought it.

[John Castro]

I mean, that's insane.

[David Dobrik]

But TV always pays a lot. There is this, there's this, there's this YouTube driven propaganda that television does not pay. It is. But every social media person loves to say it. It is just not true. It's not. Once you get tv, you get paid.

[Jay]

In the second and third season, you.

[David Dobrik]

Get paid a crazy amount more. But first season, if you're. If you're like, you have some sort of name, you still get paid a really good amount.

[Natalie]

Yeah. And I feel like most times, like people.

[David Dobrik]

Don't you guys all change your perspective on it?

[Natalie]

Well, no, I just like, well, now.

[David Dobrik]

That he mentions it.

[Natalie]

Well, because now that I'm thinking about it, it's like, yes, you did a whole season of a show, but you did it in three weeks. You know, like, the shooting schedule is so short. So even though you're putting, you're putting out this big production or whatever it is, like, it's really taking it, like, not that much of your time. And you're getting all that money.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. But also every episode comes with social posts.

[Natalie]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And things like that. So it's. I'm not just like an actor.

[Jay]

You're not just showing up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But that is interesting. Like, I have like some actor friends and I'll always be like. Like, I have some actor friends that are like, in big movies. And I'll be like, do you have to. Do you have to, like, promote this? And they'll be like, no. Like, there's literally like, there's a press run and I don't have to put anything on my socials if I don't want to. They have to be part of the press run. But, like, there are no requirements to post anything on Instagram. It's just such a different world than like ours. Be like, what? Why do they even hire you? Even though they're household name. But yeah, that is a different world. Acting is a different, different world.

[Jay]

I have new topics here. Oh, you want to hear them?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

King of transitions.

[Natalie]

He was so smooth.

[Jay]

Jason. We could put an ad in.

[David Dobrik]

That's really funny. Okay, go read off. Read the list off.

[Jay]

You want to read my topics?

[David Dobrik]

Just read the list off.

[Jay]

You read them.

[David Dobrik]

All right, guys, reading Jason's topics. Let's see I told everyone that we should start bringing notes into the podcast just so we always have something new to talk about. Okay. Oh, my God. First one is, Chinese company can cook your baby. What does this mean?

[Jay]

Oh, that came out wrong. They can. A robot can birth your baby.

[Natalie]

Like, deliver it.

[Jay]

Yeah, deliver it. You put the sperm and the thing in the robot. You wait nine months.

[David Dobrik]

Do you fuck the robot?

[Jay]

You fuck. No, you don't fuck the rope.

[Natalie]

Oh, you put it. The robot is.

[Jay]

Yeah, that's like. That's like coming, like, that's. I don't know. I think it's here even. Wow. And so, I don't know. Be kind of cool. You don't have to be pregnant anymore.

[John Castro]

Yeah. No more surrogates.

[Natalie]

Oh, my God.

[Jay]

Yeah, no more surrogates. That's true.

[David Dobrik]

That is really crazy.

[Natalie]

I mean, I would think that you would want to be pregnant, but if you can't, then you would use something.

[John Castro]

Who would want to be pregnant?

[David Dobrik]

I don't think.

[Natalie]

I think a lot of women, like, like, really?

[John Castro]

I wouldn't.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like a lot of people don't want. I wouldn't.

[John Castro]

A lot of body dysmorphia for no reason.

[Natalie]

Yeah, but it's like the experience of, like, you're physically making something inside you.

[John Castro]

Yeah, I can cook, too.

[Natalie]

What are you cooking, John, in the kitchen? I don't know. I just think there's, like, an attachment bond thing that's happening there.

[Jay]

Sure. Yeah. Or the baby. The baby doesn't, like, come out the way it's supposed to, you know? Or it doesn't like you.

[David Dobrik]

Jay, these fucking notes are crazy.

[Jay]

Well, maybe I need to read them. What do they say?

[David Dobrik]

Things that should be outlawed. That will be outlawed.

[Jay]

Oh, I think that's a good topic. Like, think about things that are in our daily life now that, like, will be outlawed or just, like, crazy that we do them.

[David Dobrik]

Dude, I was just thinking something like, similar to this.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, it's. It's like I'll watch videos from, like, 10 years ago that are mine or other people's, and I'll be like, I can't believe they were talking like that. Like, this is so fucked up. Like, I watch, like, some of the jokes I made, and I'll be like, what? This is, like, so off color and so weird. Like, why would we. Why are we joking around about this? But, like, at the time, it didn't feel like it at all. And like, now I'm looking at it like I'm a fucking. That's not even me.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, in 10 years, what the fuck am I saying right now?

[Jay]

Things are gonna happen or it'll go the other way.

[David Dobrik]

Why? I'm gonna just look back and be like, damn, I was fucking. I was a pussy.

[Jay]

Yeah. No, you look back and like, damn, I was sick.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know.

[Jay]

I mean, like, I saw a show the other night. I was watching Bert Kreischer's new show, the Netflix show, and it's really body.

[David Dobrik]

Like, it's a lot.

[Jay]

It's.

[Natalie]

It's.

[Jay]

There's a lot of moments in it. You're like, whoa. Like, damn, they're going for it. It's a great show.

[David Dobrik]

I think comedians more than ever now get, like. Get to lean into, like, being edgier. Yes.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Especially because people are like.

[Jay]

I think people are craving about it. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And they're craving. But what are you saying that.

[Jay]

Okay, so here's something that I think is crazy.

[David Dobrik]

Like a vape.

[Jay]

A vape is crazy.

[David Dobrik]

I agree. I think it should be cigarettes only.

[Jay]

Yeah. I mean. Okay. Also motorcycles. Motorcycles are crazy. They're insane. Like football. So fucking dangerous.

[David Dobrik]

But in some. In some countries, people are really only on motorcycles. Yeah, people are.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

It's like an affordability thing.

[Jay]

Okay, okay, that's fine. But that's not this country.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. So we can.

[Jay]

We're not going through the streets of. You know.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, so you're saying they should be outlawed in America?

[Jay]

I don't know. I'm just saying.

[David Dobrik]

You're saying football and Oscar picks.

[Jay]

No, that's a separate topic. Oh, football.

[David Dobrik]

Football should be outlawed.

[Jay]

I mean, I think football's pretty nuts. They got rid of it at a lot of the high schools around here.

[David Dobrik]

Really? Yeah, I just thought they got rid of. They got rid of dodgeball at high school and middle school. This isn't recent. They did a couple years ago.

[Natalie]

Like, they're just getting why they don't play.

[David Dobrik]

Because it's too rough, and it's like, you get picked on. Right. Like, people can get picked on and get pummeled.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah?

[David Dobrik]

What?

[John Castro]

Pummeled by what?

[Jay]

Character building at the ball.

[David Dobrik]

It's not character building, Natalie, please, for the love of God, get with the times. This is something you'll look back at in 10 years and be like, I was a monster. We should play Diamonds. I was a monster. David hit me right there.

[Jay]

Great idea.

[David Dobrik]

And then you also said, jay, you ever take a time machine tour when you talk about other cultures? Oh, yeah.

[Jay]

You ever take a time machine tour when you talk about other cultures?

[David Dobrik]

Yep, that's what I said.

[Jay]

Like sometimes. Like sometimes I'll like go to visit Naveen's family and they're like. They're just different than the way we look at the world. Like the women like don't want to work. The women cook. And like, you know what I mean, sometimes they don't drive. And I just think that's really interesting.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what does the time machine part.

[John Castro]

Have to do with it?

[Jay]

Well, it's like.

[David Dobrik]

Like it feels like you've entered a time machine.

[Jay]

It feels like you went into a time machine. But that's the way they are now.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, that is interesting sometimes. Next one.

[John Castro]

Dude, how would someone listen to this and be able to keep up with what you guys are saying?

[Jay]

I think they can.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Jay]

What else you got? What else do I got? What else do I have?

[David Dobrik]

Well, Valentine's Day is also coming up.

[Jay]

Oh, God. Valentine's Day.

[David Dobrik]

You're not excited?

[Jay]

I mean, I love it. I love spending time with Naveen, but it's a lot of pressure.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Natalie]

But why?

[Jay]

To get that reservation on the 14th is tough.

[Natalie]

Is there like a certain place that.

[Jay]

She'S like, no, but I have an eye on a place, but I gotta see if I can get in.

[David Dobrik]

If you want it to be Dobrik's Pizza, I'll make a call right now.

[Jay]

That'd be amazing. Can I shoot a vlog? Yeah, you can shoot amazing.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, that's. I feel like if I had a girlfriend, Valentine's Day would be the lowest pressure for me ever.

[Jay]

Well, what would you do? Would you go out? Because going out on the night sucks.

[Natalie]

No, I don't like that.

[Jay]

Double the price. Long lines.

[David Dobrik]

You don't go out. You set up something at home.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And you set up like a date like at the beach. Like you go somewhere, you mix, you do something pretty and then you end it like with like a home cooked, beautiful flower in the vase. Candle lit. Like me.

[John Castro]

I could never see David doing any of this. It's one thing to say it.

[David Dobrik]

It's one thing to do it.

[John Castro]

Dude, what the fuck is this?

[Jay]

You know Tae would make a home cooked meal.

[David Dobrik]

I'm tired of you guys thinking I don't have the capability to do things for someone I love. It's like it's getting old.

[John Castro]

You can't even go grocery shopping. When have you last. John, when was the last time you bought.

[David Dobrik]

You know what it's like being in love? Yeah. Answer it. Yes. Okay. You do.

[Jay]

Mm.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Jay]

What are you gonna do?

[David Dobrik]

I have no idea.

[John Castro]

Try and figure that shit out.

[David Dobrik]

Jay, when you're in love, you do different things.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[John Castro]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Start acting different.

[Natalie]

Well, not peop. Some people don't have, like, entire personality shifts when they're in love. Like, that's not necessarily a requirement of being.

[David Dobrik]

It's not a requirement. I'm just saying, like, I. I like.

[Natalie]

Because the way that you describe.

[David Dobrik]

I love to love. And, like, when it happens, like, I'm gonna go.

[Natalie]

I know, but it's like, it's really hard for us to wrap our head.

[David Dobrik]

Around it because you guys are non believers in whack.

[Natalie]

No speech right now.

[Jay]

I'm gonna put some music underneath you.

[David Dobrik]

And post about love.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

You know why I love love? You don't even have to put the music up. The music's already playing. Why I love love is because it is exactly how it's described in songs, poetry, written words. It is as cheesy and over stimulating and encapsulating. Interstellarating as it possibly.

[Jay]

Quiet pussy.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no, no. But I just love it because it is as cheesy as, like, when you're not in it, you're just like, dude, my friend's so fucking lame. Why is he doing this for this fucking chick? But then when you're in it, you're like, I wanna write a poem right now. Like, you're just like, I'm in the mood to write a poem. Like, I wanna do this, and I wanna.

[John Castro]

Like.

[David Dobrik]

And right under the poem, I wanna draw a little picture of us in a field.

[Jay]

And under the picture of us in a field, I wanna write my name in your name. And under that.

[David Dobrik]

No, under that tree, I'm gonna write.

[John Castro]

J.C. and D.C. i don't know what D.C. is. I'm just saying names.

[David Dobrik]

John Castro and Diet Coke. That is something you'd write in a tree. I don't know, I just. I'm really excited for it and not excited for Valentine's Day because I have nobody, but I do.

[Jay]

What if you call somebody up and say, hey, no, I would never do that. What?

[Natalie]

I want to do that. I want someone to take me out.

[David Dobrik]

Because it's just like giving the wrong.

[Jay]

You want someone to take you out, Nat?

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Damn.

[David Dobrik]

Why'd you say it like you had somebody? And you're like, I thought about it.

[Jay]

And as soon as I opened my mouth, I was like, nah, there's nobody.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Isn't that crazy? Sorry. Not to make this about me.

[David Dobrik]

No, no. That nobody has anybody for you.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But it's like that with everybody.

[Natalie]

Oh, I know. No, that's not true.

[David Dobrik]

Like, go ahead, set me up with somebody. You can't. That's how it works.

[Natalie]

Let me finish this shit up.

[David Dobrik]

Shut up.

[Natalie]

That's it for the podcast. I could set you up with someone, but. But you're weird and you don't like to, like, go out into public and, like, set go on dates. Like, I will do that. You'll there. You have limitations. So it's difficult with Nat.

[Jay]

You have limitations, too. I literally heard you lost.

[David Dobrik]

Give me one girl. Give me one girl you'd set me up with right now. Go Say it.

[Natalie]

Let me think of single people.

[David Dobrik]

One girl. Go. What I would actually like that you would set me up with as a friend? Not just.

[Natalie]

Okay, first of all, I have. I have introduced you to people. Whether you currently still like them or not is a different story.

[David Dobrik]

No, you haven't. Who have you introduced yourself?

[Natalie]

Yes, I've helped you, like, with women.

[David Dobrik]

You've helped me with a girl who you've been like, dave, I really want you to meet this girl. I think she'd be really good for you.

[Natalie]

Okay, you're being dramatic.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, like, have you, like, brought a girl over and be like, this is my friend Summer.

[Natalie]

She's cute.

[Jay]

You always use the word Summer.

[David Dobrik]

Well, Summer is so pretty. There's a girl named Summer. She's really pretty.

[Natalie]

Shout out, Summer.

[David Dobrik]

Shout out, Summer.

[Jay]

Always fun, but you put roadblocks.

[Natalie]

You're difficult, too.

[Jay]

Like, last podcast, you were, she doesn't play Roblox. She doesn't have the capability of you last podcast, you were like, I'm going to be too busy to be with anybody. It shouldn't be like that podcast.

[David Dobrik]

We changed our perspective on fucking get a matchmaker every Tuesday.

[Natalie]

That is so fucking lame.

[David Dobrik]

Matchmaker. Why so lame?

[Jay]

Why not lame?

[Natalie]

Yeah. It's like, oh, I'm so desperate, I can't do this myself. That's how I feel.

[Jay]

That's the world right now.

[David Dobrik]

That is true. You can't do it yourself.

[Natalie]

I know. It doesn't help that I have this fucking idiot in my ear all the time.

[David Dobrik]

Like, genuinely, why don't you two go.

[Jay]

Out on Valentine's Day?

[Natalie]

You should take me out.

[David Dobrik]

Are you gonna fucking do it?

[Jay]

Do it. That'd be so fun for the pod.

[John Castro]

Yeah, Go cook for her.

[Natalie]

Show me what love is all about, baby.

[David Dobrik]

Take her to the beach. Take her to the beach. Yeah. I have sex with her just to prove a point for you guys.

[Jay]

You fall in love.

[David Dobrik]

You like this, Natalie? Just for the pot.

[Jay]

Oh, for the pot.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm sorry.

[Natalie]

You should take all of your ladies out.

[David Dobrik]

All my ladies? Yeah, you and Brooke.

[Jay]

What are you talking about?

[David Dobrik]

Taylor has a boyfriend. Who am I taking?

[Natalie]

I do. Yeah, that's true.

[Jay]

All right, guys, well, I got more topics, man. Let's do another hour.

[David Dobrik]

I've seen. I'm not doing any more of those topics.

[Jay]

I got some good ones.

[David Dobrik]

You just have Wendy's written there. I don't even know what that means. I think you were just hungry. You're mixing the topics with your grocery list. All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you to everybody who joined us. This was a blast. It was a good time. I loved getting to know my friends. And I'll see you guys for the next one. Bye.
