[David Dobrik]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. Oh, Nelly. Just got a text.

[Jason Nash]

Don't read my message.

[David Dobrik]

Nat uses the word tumultuous. That's kind of crazy.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's a big one.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You know what that means?

[Jason Nash]

You are such an invader of fucking privacy.

[David Dobrik]

You're a Darth Vader destroyer of fun and happiness. How does that make you? Okay. Sorry, I shouldn't read. Yeah, Natalie hates when I read her text.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I would, too.

[David Dobrik]

Did I already do the intro or did I just fucking read Natalie's text?

[Natalie Mariduena]

You said, welcome back to Views. Yeah, it was nice. I like an intro like that.

[David Dobrik]

Just, like, kind of throw it away.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, but I like that kind of thing. But, I mean, maybe the audience doesn't. I think the audience likes it, too. I think this episode should be, like, very not try. I mean, I have a bunch of topics, but when I'm editing, I feel the need to, like, make it like, you know what I mean? But I'm not sure what people, like, do people, like, kind of a vibe or do people, like, just get to it?

[David Dobrik]

I mean, I can obviously slow it down this episode if I'll probably just.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Chop it up and make you sound faster.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like my thoughts have been too highbrow intellectual recently. So this audience.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Let's go over the last topics of the last podcast.

[David Dobrik]

This audience is for our stupid listeners that can't handle all the genius I've known.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I Love it. Highbrow. Dave, let's go. What's the most highbrow thing you got going?

[David Dobrik]

Well, we just talked about it, like, last two episodes. I was trying to leave my body and I've made no progress since then.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You also talked about a choo choo train.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, whatever. Cheeky came by recently, which I really want to talk about. Cheeky is our old house cleaner. She started as Jason's house cleaner. She's the cutest, sweetest woman, and she doesn't speak English still.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Did you know that she never did.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, for some reason I didn't know that. She came by and I was like, how are you? And she goes, kay. And I go, wait, what? Cause, like, all while she was there, when she was at the house, I thought we understood each other perfectly.

[Natalie Mariduena]

While she was at the house, I was just rambling on and on about my life. I would have long conversations with her.

[David Dobrik]

You understood nothing I've said. Her daughter was there to translate. But yes, this entire time I was like. For some reason in my head, I was like, cheeky knows what I'm saying. I don't know. Anyways, really, it was really fun just to, like, see her again. I haven't seen her in like three, four years. She was around when, like, I started vlogging, like seven, eight, nine years ago. So it's really crazy to hear that kind of perspective. I was talking to her about, like, what are her first memories?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And she said she used to clean for you. And the first time she ever saw me, obviously this has all been translated, but the first time she saw me, I was just like a little kid in your house and she thought I was your intern.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Little did she know I was the intern.

[David Dobrik]

And she said she saw me opening the fridge looking for food to eat, and the only thing that was in there was her sandwich. And she felt bad, and she was ready to pull out a $20 bill from her pocket to give to me because she wanted me to go get food, which I thought was really funny. That's her first mem. Wow. Yeah. Intern David at Jason's house. And then she slowly realized, wait, my boss is the intern Jason? No, no, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You take the 20.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You know what? Thanks, Shaki.

[David Dobrik]

And then it was really funny. So she has a catchphrase that we. That she would always say, is my husband outside?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It's like when anybody would. Like when she'd hit on anybody or like anybody would hit on her, she'd be like, my husband outside. My husband outside. And it was just like this. It was just like a really funny joke. Because now thinking back, that is the only English thing she would say. And I called Scott when I was with Cheeky because I was like, I want to show Scott Cheeky. This is so exciting. And he picks up and he goes, cheeky. And the second thing he says is, my husband outside. And Cheeky's daughter looks at me and she goes, husband's no longer with us. It's like it was. And so Scott's face goes fucking. Just so red. Cheeky lost her husband in the last couple years that we haven't seen her. And it was the most Scott thing to possibly say on the phone, like, in the first 10 seconds of speaking to Cheeky. After a couple years, husband not outside, his husband no longer outside.

[Jason Nash]

Her daughter was like, well, no, I don't know if you heard this, but she was like, now he's forever outside.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She said.

[David Dobrik]

Scott took it, I think, way more personally than he should have. I think everybody was okay with it. But the way she said it was really funny and it was really sad. You know, I'm sure they've come to terms with it, so I don't think they're as sad as Scott made it out to me, but it was pretty awesome. But, yeah, that's really good to see Cheeky.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I got a massage the other day. Do you like massages?

[David Dobrik]

Oh, my God. I got one.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Do you like massages?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Wait, this has been a whole thing. David has, like, sworn off massages his whole life, and he got one this weekend.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. You don't like massages? Cause I thought of you when I went to get it. I was like, dave, what do you do?

[David Dobrik]

I got one at the strip club.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Oh, the best massage.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, wait, are those different at the strip club? Cause I'm not a lad dance guy. I don't like them. Yeah, obviously I've had my fair share of falling in love with strippers. We've talked about it on here, but this isn't that situation. I was, like, so tired and someone gave me a massage. She wasn't a stripper. I think they have, like, masseuses come around.

[Jason Nash]

They have. They have girls that are. Yeah, they're not strippers. They're, like, dedicated to massaging.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[Jason Nash]

And, like, it was incredible.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, that's like a over the clothes massage, right?

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, no, no, no, no, no, no. She. She had. She put on, like, lotion on her hands, and she was like, under My shirt on my shoulders. And then she'd run her finger. Run her fingers down and cut my titties.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Wow.

[David Dobrik]

It was fucking felt so good. You know, the first couple strokes of my nipples were, like, kind of bizarre because, like, that's, like. That is probably my biggest. No, no square. Other than maybe my asshole, that is probably the least. The last place I ever want to get touched.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, just my titties. I already have, like, this weird thing about my titties. I'm like, I don't. I don't like people seeing them, looking at them, touching them. For sure. Titty guy. Actually, I am a big titty guy.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Maybe you have a sensation there and you don't want to explore it. Is that what it is?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, exactly.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know, but it was amazing. And this was like, at 2, 3am I was so tired, and it rejuvenated me like no other. I was ready to go home. And then when I found out you can get these. I feel really bad, though, because when do you ask him to stop?

[Natalie Mariduena]

When the money runs out.

[Jason Nash]

I didn't know that either.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, how much was it?

[Jason Nash]

100 bucks, right?

[David Dobrik]

I paid. Yeah. No. Oh, yes. The first one was 100.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It was like the brand paid for it. I don't.

[David Dobrik]

The second one was 60. Where did you get your massage?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I went down the street here. Naveen loves massages. She's. She's literally like. If you look at her Explorer page on Instagram, it's just those guys, like, with their faces in women's vaginas, like, cracking their backs and stuff.

[David Dobrik]

Like, that's a different type of massage.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. She just loves massage.

[David Dobrik]

Are those the massages your wife is going to?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No shit. No, no, no.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, where guys crack their faces in women's vaginas.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, Natalie knows the videos I'm talking about.

[Jason Nash]

I do know them. They don't fill my Discover page.

[David Dobrik]

So that's a conversation you got to have with your wife.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I wouldn't say Phil, but if you look on our Discover page, it's, you know, there's a few there. There maybe two or three. Mine are all ripped dudes, so.

[David Dobrik]

So when you go to this massage, is it, like, also weird? Do you take your clothes off?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Yeah. So you go in and she's like, let's. Like, I know this is going to, like, make her day. Like, if I say to her it's Saturday, I'm like, like, do you want to go get a massage? And she'd be like, oh, my God. Can we, can we, can we, can we? And I don't even like it. Like, I don't. I don't like it. I don't go in there. I'm so stressed out. I'm like, I fucking don't like people touching me.

[David Dobrik]

That's how I felt too, you know. Visited 11 in Miami.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And then I was like, well, you can go. I'll drop you off. And she's like, no, no, no. Couples massages go together. I'm like, okay, okay. So I go. And we get in there and it's like. It's an old woman. She's like. She's like 75. Naveen gets a guy, I get an old woman.

[David Dobrik]

Do you get to choose?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No. No, we didn't.

[Jason Nash]

You do usually, yes.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, like, Naveen, where are you going? Well, at least. At least Naveen should be able to choose.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah, you get to choose male or female. But it's not like a lineup. It's not like.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah. What are you talking about?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like, the Bunny Ranch. Have you ever seen the Bunny Ranch on hbo?

[David Dobrik]

No. Is that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's like. It was an old reality show. It's basically a brothel. And it's. They. There's. The guys come.

[David Dobrik]

What's a brothel? Is that. Is that. No, I know. If I had a. If I had a guess. It's where prostitutes are in a house. Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like, there's a part of Las Vegas where it's considered legal or part of Nevada. It's outside of Las Vegas. And they. There used to be a show on HBO where the guy would go in and guys would come in and there would be a lineup. They'd bring eight girls out, and the guy would go, I want this one. And then they go back and then you, like, watch them have sex on hbo?

[David Dobrik]

What the.

[Jason Nash]

What, do you watch them have sex?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yes, the Bunny Ranch.

[Jason Nash]

Fall out. Have sex.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, you know, there's no penetration, but the girls, like, up and down on them with no top on.

[David Dobrik]

Jesus Christ. Yeah. That's crazy.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Remember hbo?

[David Dobrik]

No, I don't remember hbo.

[Natalie Mariduena]

When you were a kid, you didn't try to scrambled the TV so you could, like.

[David Dobrik]

No, I remember, like, dying hard with, like, fucking Jason Statham.

[Jason Nash]

What?

[David Dobrik]

No, no, not Get Hard with the Bunny Ranch. Different. Different. Different movies you guys are watching here.

[Natalie Mariduena]

So anyway, we're going there and. And, you know, they start the massage and it's an old woman on top of me, and it gets like, really intimate.

[David Dobrik]

Excuse me. What does that mean on Top of you?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, like, her saggy breasts are like, in my bag.

[David Dobrik]

Jesus Christ.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And then, like, which is fine. And then.

[David Dobrik]

Is that part of the massage?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I guess. And then at one point, she just pulls my underwear down. She pulls my cheeks down, like. And I'm like. Like, I don't know what to do. Naveen's right there. But Naveen's so off in space. And then she starts rubbing my cheeks, which I thought was a little weird. And then a girl comes in, like another Korean voice comes in just to laugh at you. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I don't know what they're saying in Korean, but I think what they said was like, check out this fat ass. You know, Like.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I think so, because they.

[Lowe's]

And then.

[David Dobrik]

What did that woman that came in say?

[Natalie Mariduena]

It was in Korean. I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

Sorry. I'm sorry. Does she stay? Is what I meant to say. How long was she there for?

[Natalie Mariduena]

She was there for like a minute.

[Jason Nash]

Well, they do that. You know, I went to when I was. Because when I go to massage here, I go to like, I have a membership at a massage place that's like a little more like sophisticated. Or you can go to like the Thai spots like that are like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Or, yeah.

[Jason Nash]

That are like hole in the wall.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's what Naveen likes.

[Jason Nash]

Yes. Which are like incredible massages. They like walk on you and much cheaper.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You can go to a whitey massage and pay $200 or you can go to.

[David Dobrik]

Did you just say a whitey massage?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, it's like, you know, it's like a high end. Like a Burke Williams. It's whitey massage. It's where it's like all white people in there and they charge like $250, $300. But if you go to one of these hole in the walls right by your house, it's like. I think it was $85 for a double massage for an hour. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Holy fuck. And you're laying there for a whole hour?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Do you have to take all your clothes off?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, we leave our underwear on. But like I said, this woman rip my underwear down.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Do you lay on your back the entire. Your stomach the entire time?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Stomach for about 80% of the time. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Can you choose to lay on your stomach the entire time?

[Jason Nash]

You can, you.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You can, but then at the right, about 10 minutes left, they flip you over and they do stuff.

[David Dobrik]

What happens if you accident a boner during all this? Does that happen?

[Jason Nash]

Sure. People do it all the time.

[Natalie Mariduena]

People do it all the time.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. I mean, my big dick.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like that would make me. That would make me panic. I don't know, being touched that long.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, what. What happens when you go, do you get a man or a woman?

[Jason Nash]

I always get a woman.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, you do?

[Jason Nash]

I don't, like, like, a man massaging me because it feels like I'm just, like, thinking about him touching me the whole time, you know?

[David Dobrik]

Wow.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. It's, like, gross.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I've looked over before and, like, I've seen a guy, like, literally, like, working Naveen's, like, entire backside. I was like, oh, my God. She goes full plant mode. She's just like, oh. But it was good. It was good. It was fine.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Hey. Damn. I got into Ilya's 5k. Nice.

[Jason Nash]

You did nice.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I got accepted.

[Jason Nash]

Are you going? You're gonna run?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. I'm psyched.

[Jason Nash]

I thought about it, but I was like, I don't want to be slow, but if you're going, maybe it'll make me look better.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, it's on.

[David Dobrik]

It's.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'm gonna toast you. Oh, my God. I'm gonna toast you.

[Jason Nash]

I haven't run more than a mile in, like, a while.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I've been hiking every day, but I don't run. I walk.

[Jason Nash]

Sorry. Is the plane annoying? Like, should we just close this entirely?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I can't really hear it in the phones in the cans, but I'm also 80, so I don't know. Joking. Last night, we're like, why the fuck does David and Natalie give you that job to run the podcast.

[David Dobrik]

It's crazy that you said that entire sentence in that voice.

[Abercrombie]

It's insane.

[Natalie Mariduena]

They give the job to you.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I mean, that is insane.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I don't mind doing it, and I've gotten better at it.

[David Dobrik]

It's also like, just listening to the audio.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, I've gotten better at the audio, I think.

[David Dobrik]

I mean, I'm shocked. We've never had a situation where you didn't hit record. That used to happen so frequently.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, that's because we were vlogging. I was, like, frazzled.

[David Dobrik]

But, like, so frequently would we record a podcast and it wasn't record. That was like, an ongoing bit in our podcast. Like, here's another one we're re recording.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Then we'd be like, you should have heard that other episode.

[David Dobrik]

It was the best. Yes. Yes. There's so many good episodes that we. Taylor's here. Taylor and I had a really early morning.

[Taylor]

We did.

[David Dobrik]

We got up at nine in the morning to go to the car museum.

[Taylor]

I got up at 8.

[David Dobrik]

Okay.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Peterson.

[David Dobrik]

It went to Peterson Auto Museum. They talked me. I told them about my Tesla because they have the Tesla Roadster there.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And they have a little plaque there, and it says 2017. That's when the car was announced. So that means eight years ago, I paid $250,000 for this car. So imagine $250,000 just sitting there, not gaining interest, not working for you. Nothing. It's a big waste of money. It's a big waste of money. That's like, some people's full bank accounts. That's not doing anything.

[Jason Nash]

I mean. Yeah. Large amount of money.

[David Dobrik]

So incredibly dumb. And they told me, like, the car experts there, I mean, I'm assuming they're all car experts because they work at a car museum, but they're like, I don't think it's ever gonna come out. You should get your money back, really. So I think I may put an end to the ongoing joke of the Tesla Roadster and get my money back, because it's just like. It's no way for money to sit well.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like, if it came today, would you be stoked?

[David Dobrik]

Of course, if it came next year, I'd be stoked. But, like, it's just like. I don't know. I just have, like, I have this thing where every time I do something, the opposite happens when it comes to money.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So, like, investment. Every time I pull out, stocks fly. Every time I invest, stocks plummet. And this just feels. This feels like it's, like, perfectly timed for me to pull out and the car's announced and then you can't, you can't just go back in. You lose your spot line, everything.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Like it's like if a car came out and it was suddenly had like a street value of like 400,000, would you sell it?

[Lowe's]

No.

[David Dobrik]

Because you get sued by Tesla.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh.

[David Dobrik]

But like I have a feeling that the car will come out. It'll be at a half a million dollars because it'll be that much more expensive now.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

But I have a feeling they'll honor the people that came in early. I can put the 250 in. I think that would be like the appropriate thing to do. I don't know.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, you think they're going to charge more for it?

[David Dobrik]

Fuck yeah. To 250 was like the 2017 price. That car, if it can fly, like people are saying it's going to be able to do. Elon said it's going to be able to fly.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We're going to fly down to. I mean fly down to go.

[David Dobrik]

I just want to fly off the hill here. Be so nice. Imagine.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, this car is definitely not coming out. That's not going to be legal for like in, for another decade.

[David Dobrik]

Are you sure we have those fucking self driving cars in LA now? I feel like shit's coming.

[Taylor]

Yeah, we have waymos.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, shit's happening here.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Even that aspect of a flying car that I've seen, it looks so janky. It just like glips.

[David Dobrik]

No, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And then it's gonna be different.

[David Dobrik]

There's some crazy cars in China that are like fucking spinning around on their four tires and now cars can jump. So they're not technically flying with like bunny hopping. I wanted to bring this up. I didn't. I feel like last episode we talked about me being robbed.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then when we finished talking about it, I was like, we really didn't make it a big deal. It was kind of funny. Did I show you the videos?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

It was like a full on robbery. Robbery. Yeah, yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You tend to do that and you're not in your body. So.

[David Dobrik]

You think I was having one of those out of body moments there?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean you're so such a pacifist.

[David Dobrik]

Maybe. But like my roommates are taking this robbery like way harder than anybody I've ever seen. Like Ilya has, Ilya has bought new weapons. He got a gun safe. He's putting all us. He's putting all of us on the gun safe. With fingerprint scanners. All the roommates have access. Yeah. It's fucking crazy. He's taking it so, so, so seriously.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And it's like. Which I get. But it's like I don't believe in one thing happening and then all of a sudden you have to reprogram everything. Like, I've had the same aspect of robberies my entire life and I still have that same viewpoint. Like, just because I got robbed doesn't mean I always. I'm gonna be fucking lame and be like, I'm worried now. Like, I just don't think that's how things work. Like, I think. I think you just stick to what you know.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, if I got robbed, I like, don't think I could return to my home, you know?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, well, you have that serial killer running around your house.

[Jason Nash]

Wait, I found out that that is false.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, me too.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what?

[Taylor]

Wait, what?

[Natalie Mariduena]

The cop said there was one killing, but there is no serial killer in la.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, I texted our fellow police officer that has come to the house, whatever, multiple times whenever we have an incident.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, I saw that text.

[Jason Nash]

I texted him and I was like, hey, we've heard some things about this serial killer in the neighborhood. Is it true? Can you tell me anything? Whatever. He's a legitimate, like lapd. And then he goes, he texts me back the most fucked up thing, which I thought was so funny. I sent this to you guys. He texts me back, he goes, which one? And I responded. I was like, there's more than one. And I just thought that was like.

[David Dobrik]

What did he mean by which one?

[Jason Nash]

I don't know. He didn't. He totally ignored that. And he was like, he was like, just call. He's like, no, the news is wrong, the social media is incorrect. There was one killing. This is not a serial killer. Blah, blah, blah.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. Yeah, that's crazy. Well, now we know Natalie's safe. I'm safe.

[Taylor]

I feel better.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Taylor]

I live next to Natalie too.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

But the reason I want to Taylor here is because I've realized that Taylor has like morphed into me.

[Taylor]

Oh my God.

[Jason Nash]

Just realizing.

[David Dobrik]

No, I'm not just now realizing, but like Taylor.

[Taylor]

Okay, but there's some things that you get from me.

[David Dobrik]

No, there's not much I get from you.

[Taylor]

Uh huh.

[David Dobrik]

Uh huh. I've just realized that a lot of Taylor's hobbies are all my hobbies. Like, Taylor loves Marvel, like a lot. And I think she got that from me. And then what's that syndrome when you've been captive for too long?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, there's Stockholm syndrome.

[David Dobrik]

I think Taylor has Stockholm syndrome of the workplace.

[Natalie Mariduena]

This is called mirroring, modeling or personality mirroring.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, wow. I think that's what Taylor's doing, because I drink the Celsius, this specific blue Celsius in the morning, and Taylor's so attached to that same one. Like, this morning, I saw her, like, digging through the shelf. She's like, where's the blue Celsius I really need? It's the only one that wakes me up. And I'm like, there's 15 different flavors. Why are you choosing the one that I also love?

[Taylor]

What if I loved it first?

[David Dobrik]

No, you didn't. And then. And then I was telling her, I was like, well, maybe you should try the Strawberry Passion, because that's my second favorite flavor, and maybe you'll like it as your second favorite. And she's like, no, I don't like that one. And I was like, just give it a try. And then she tries, and she goes, it's actually not bad. I don't know. I'm just starting to think that. Taylor, you're just stealing my things.

[Taylor]

No, well, we just. I think that, you know, obviously we've spent a lot of time together, so, like, you do some things that are from me.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay. What?

[Taylor]

You started meowing.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, I knew that was.

[David Dobrik]

I do meow.

[Taylor]

Did you say seriously the other day?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, seriously.

[Taylor]

That's my argument.

[Jason Nash]

That's all I got.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. But those are, like, catchphrases. Like, that's easy to dot from a person. I'm saying, like, what has, like, ingrained into my personality from you?

[Taylor]

This is a tough question.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, and of course, obvious. This is the most obvious one is she's always tired when I'm tired, and she always has energy when I have energy all the time. And it's like, I can come in, and I'll be like, I'm beat. And then she'll all of a sudden be like, I'm so tired today. I don't know why, but if I come downstairs and I'm like, I slept really good. She'll be like, me, too, actually.

[Taylor]

Well, that's. Cause when you are more energetic, it just wakes me up. And when you.

[Natalie Mariduena]

When you start yelling, I tend to start moving.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, you create that. I understand why Taylor like that.

[Taylor]

I'm like, that's at the tone.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, I see.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Dude, I bought a house that had a view because you had a view.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, I literally bought that house because, like, your first house had that crazy view. And then I Saw it and I was like, oh, I have to get a view now. I'm like, I know, I know. I'm just saying, like, you create that sort of vibe where it's like, you're so much fun that if you kind of go along with the fun, like, kind of. Sorry. Drink the Kool Aid.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, yeah, this sounds like drinking the Kool Aid.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You know what I mean? It's just like the movies the other night. It's like, you know, you want people to, like, hang out and have fun, and it is worth staying late to watch the movie because you are that much fun. So. Yeah, I can see there's all kinds of things that I've done.

[David Dobrik]

This reminds me of Natalie saying. Sorry. Sorry. This reminds me of Natalie saying the most yes man thing ever in the car. Yeah, we were talking about. We were talking about. I was reading the Reddit and someone was like, there's so many ads that interrupt the podcast. And I was like, natalie, for the love of God, get rid of all the fucking ads. I don't want them to interrupt anything. And Natalie's like, every podcast is interrupted by ads. And then I'm like, so why are people complaining about ours being interrupted by ads? And she's like, because it's so good. There's nothing else to complain about.

[Jason Nash]

Go, Nat.

[David Dobrik]

That is the most yes man thing I've ever fucking heard.

[Jason Nash]

I just wanted you to shut up and stop complaining about dumb stuff.

[David Dobrik]

No, that makes me complain more because I'm like, have I just been fed lies everywhere?

[Taylor]

You know what I heard?

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Taylor]

That the Golden Globes are now they're going to have an award for the best podcast.

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, really?

[David Dobrik]

The Golden Globes?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, my God.

[Taylor]

I believe so.

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's insane.

[David Dobrik]

That's crazy.

[Taylor]

Not this year, I think, but, like.

[David Dobrik]

That means you have to have a video.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?

[David Dobrik]

Like, why would the Golden Globes do something just for, like, sound?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, it's got to be video.

[David Dobrik]

Imagine a Grammy for best podcast.

[Jason Nash]

Wow.

[Taylor]

You could do it.

[Jason Nash]

Audio only podcasts.

[David Dobrik]

We talk about diarrhe and orgies and the bunny ranch and Natalie's being real. Thank you.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's treated really seriously, just like. And of course, this year for the podcast, Natalie gets Big dick nudes.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. The best episodes. And the nominees are for best podcast episode, Natalie's Orgy, Jason's Threesome, or Naveen's Boo. Ben Affleck announcing. It's Naveen Boo. Oh, shit. Not Ben Affleck. Wow, that's crazy. I just did that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's so funny because I always love Ben Affleck, and then when he comes on in the house, like, you know, he comes on TV or something.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, we have to fill in people? Why? That's a problem? Are we allowed to talk about this?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I don't know. I'll check with Naveen. She's not gonna care.

[David Dobrik]

But that was completely on accident. That's funny.

[Jason Nash]

That's really funny.

[David Dobrik]

Naveen and Ben Affleck.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, like, I grew up in Boston, right? So Ben Affleck's like a hero.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, so this is like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Wow. So this is like the worst guy she could have possibly. Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I don't. I don't look at it like that, but. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, I've always. My mom will call me and update me on what Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are up to all the time, and it's like something we share.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Because Naveen and Ben Affleck matched on a dating app.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Do they ever go on a date?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Damn. You can't watch anything, huh?

[Taylor]

You can't even.

[David Dobrik]

You can't even order from Dunkin Donuts anymore.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me that much. I'm kind of like I'm in good company.

[David Dobrik]

No, for sure. That's really funny that. That's the person I just chose. Yeah. That must have been my brain putting things together. That's an amazing. It's an amazing person to be. I've been watching Ben Affleck. Did we go out about him for the next 20 minutes?

[Jason Nash]

No, he's great.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I mean, I think he's awesome.

[David Dobrik]

Why are you going like this with your hand right around your neck? You want me to cut it out?

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, I don't care.

[David Dobrik]

Regardless what you want.

You know you talked about choo choo trains the other day and, like, the meaning of choo choo train. Yeah, I had the same moment the other day last night I was lying in bed, I got up and I ran to my phone to type this out.

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I love this tossed salad.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Okay, good.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Toss someone's salad. I never thought about it.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Can I. Can I try to figure it out?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

To toss someone's salad is to oral. Is to have oral sex with them.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. So you're.

[David Dobrik]

Why'd you say yeah? So weird.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It's like, put your tongue in someone's ass.

[Jason Nash]

What?

[David Dobrik]

What?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Isn't it put your tongue in someone's ass or penis in someone's ass. That's to toss their salad.

[Jason Nash]

Right.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. Regardless. What does it mean?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Well, like, then I really thought about it and I was like, oh, like, oh, you like, put the tongue in there. So you're like, mixing it up and then.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[Natalie Mariduena]

The penis is like a.

[David Dobrik]

Like parmesan cheese.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. Or like a pepper shaker.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, I don't know if this one feels a little bit like a stretch.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay. All right, let's move on, dude.

[David Dobrik]

First of all, this isn't gonna win us that Golden Globe, so we need to dial it in if we're gonna do this.

[Jason Nash]

The fact that he had this thought and ran to his phone to fight his.

[David Dobrik]

Naveen, I got it.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It was so good at night.

[David Dobrik]

The penis is the pepper shaker.

[Jason Nash]

Was someone tossing your salad when you had this thought?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Was it a penis inside your asshole?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, my God. I love seeing Paul on your story.

[David Dobrik]

Why? Well, just an interesting, like, person.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, I just like, I like seeing you guys together. It was like, oh, it's like two of my favorites, like, together. Like, two, like, Internet guys that I loved. And then I like where people from.

[David Dobrik]

The Internet hang out and Then the.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And then the bit was really funny. And then it made me, like. I mean, I want to see a whole video. I want to see, like, I want to see him actually play you in pickleball.

[David Dobrik]

I think it is. It's so funny when people, like, from different parts of the Internet interact.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

I always think that's so interesting. Like, Jake and me are very opposite sides of the Internet, even though we're not really. But, like, it is. It is funny when I get with them. And I always say he's, like, the sweetest.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I love people that have, like, accomplished enough. Accomplished a lot, and they're still fun.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. I wanted to talk about. Since Shiki was here, I was kind of reminiscing on, like, old vlog bits. And we always have. We, like, Natalie and I keep a list of vlog bits.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, that we want to do. And honestly, I kind of hate, like, all of these. So let me just read you some of the ones that we never got to do. I don't hate them. I just.

[Jason Nash]

It's just like, David will say something and I'll just write it down.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Down.

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Jason Nash]

Over the past, like, seven years.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Jesus. It's a big doc. It must be a big document.

[David Dobrik]

Oh, wow. It actually is a lot.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[David Dobrik]

This idea is so good. Oh, my God, I wish we did this. I wish we did this. This idea would have been so funny with young Vardon. So I guess I can say it now because I don't. I don't know. He won't listen to this, so I'm gonna say it. Picking up Vardon with a celeb and telling him not to tell anyone because of paparazzi, and then half paparazzi show up regardless and blame Vardon. I think that's really funny. Like, Vardon. Did you fucking tell him? Did you tell him we weren't Justin Timberlake? No, no, no, no, No, I didn't. One of my favorite ideas that I really want to do. Oh, my God. This would have absolutely obliterated. Have been so fun. This is the only idea, I think, that. That I'm like. But now I would never do it because it's so fucking. And it's so out there. The one idea I really wanted to do that we never got to do. Have you ever seen To Catch a Predator? Yeah, with Chris Hansen. I really wanted to, like, go to Saddle Ranch, have a girl that's like 2025, hit on, like, Scott or Zane or whatever.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, I remember this idea.

[David Dobrik]

Yes. And then. And Then they go back to her house later, and then Chris Hansen comes out and he's like, you have any idea how young this girl is? And just send him in to fucking make them think they're on to Catch a Predator. That's so funny. My God, I would. I would fucking die for that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We get ahead of Gu. My High School and Catch a Predator.

[David Dobrik]

Really?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. He's a big actor now. No, no, but he was on there.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what? What? Which one was he? I've seen, like, every episode.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I don't want to say his name.

[David Dobrik]

But my favorite. There was an episode where. So Chris Hansen, like, it's always. The guy comes in, he talks to the girl, and then Chris Hansen walks out with, like, a notebook, and he's like. Or like, he has all the documents of the guy talking to the girl, and he's like, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? Here. Why are you. Did you know how old this girl was? And the best is, like. He walks out once, and he's like, I'm Chris Hansen. The guy's like, no, you're not. And he's like, yes, I am. He's like, no, you're not. He's like, yes, I am. Just people in denial about it. And then there's this one guy who brings a pizza, and then he's, like, so uncomfortable that he starts eating the pizza in front of Chris Hansen. And Chris is like, you're just gonna. You're just gonna eat the pizza? And he goes, I'm hungry. Some of the best episodes. All right, let me read some more ideas. Here we have Waking Up Zayn with the Pussycat Doll's performance. Really good. Oh, this one's good. Jonah was. Jonah's a big fan of Aubrey Plaza, and we wanted to. And he's really awkward with women, so we wanted to do a bit where he would be stuck in an elevator with Aubrey Plaza. He'd, like, get really nervous giving Jack a huge deal and then taking it away. That's funny. That's telling my manager that we made a lot of money and then telling him that's not real. Oh, this was going to be fun. Prank Fallon. Pranking Jimmy Fallon by having a bad celebrity guest come on. Like, just having a celebrity guest, like, give a really shit interview. I feel like I've never really seen that.

[Natalie Mariduena]

How would you orchestrate that?

[David Dobrik]

The celebrity guest would also have to be in.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, he's just really bad.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. Or he's just, like, not giving him anything.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's great.

[David Dobrik]

Tie Jason to A palm tree. Remember this one?

[Taylor]

We tried that.

[David Dobrik]

You don't remember? We actually tried doing this one. We buried you in the backyard. And we loved that bit so much that we were like, can we. At my old house, there's, like, a cliff.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And outside of the cliff were these four palm trees. And we had this idea to duct tape you to one of the palm trees, like, 30ft in the air. You remember?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And we had, like, the tree guys come, and the verdict was that Jason would actually have to climb up there on his zone to get there.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

That's why we couldn't do it.

[Taylor]

I bought the spikes for your shoes.

[David Dobrik]

Really? Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And the nails for your coffin.

[David Dobrik]

Airplane coming down. So I have this clip of Ilia agreeing to go down in an airplane.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

If that makes sense. Well, Ilya's scared of skydiving.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Sure.

[David Dobrik]

So I told him. I was like, do I have your permission to fool you into. Into jumping out of an airplane one day? And I'm like, it could be in two years, it could be in three, it could be in ten. You'll never know. But one day there you will be on a flight and it will be going down and we'll have to jump. And he gave me permission. So that's an idea that still could happen.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Still in play. Still in play.

[David Dobrik]

That could be 20, 30 years. So we're so good with that. I mean. Yeah. There's so many ideas. This idea just keeps this. This list just keeps going on. On. It's just hard. It's hard to remember when you hire.

[Natalie Mariduena]

People to come up with ideas and no one could come up with anything.

[David Dobrik]

I don't think we ever got. Do we ever get any idea from a person?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Never got one idea from an outside person.

[David Dobrik]

No. And that's. Dude, that's my least favorite part with Natalie is like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

And good writers, too.

[David Dobrik]

Yes, Good writers.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Nobody got it.

[David Dobrik]

It's kind of hard to. It's not like the vlogs are hard to come up with, but it's such, like, a weird, specific thing.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, the dumbest idea can be so great.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

So it's just kind of. I don't know, it's kind of difficult. And we have to. Like, me and you have to be excited about it. Or it's like, doesn't really work. But that's what I hated about Natalie. Every time, like, I'd be like, I can't keep doing the vlogs. Like, I fucking have to stop. I'm running out of ideas. Nelly would be like, let's just hire people to help you write. I was like, we've tried that four fucking times. Like serious writers. And every time we have a writer's room of, like, five people, we spend a couple thousand dollars. And that's.

[Natalie Mariduena]

That's you, though.

[David Dobrik]

Nobody comes up with anything. What do you mean?

[Natalie Mariduena]

I think it's you. I think it was you.

[David Dobrik]

Just me shooting ideas.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah. You just. You just. If. If something like, isn't like, that's why your stuff's so good is because if it doesn't, like, come from your heart and then you don't do it.

[Jason Nash]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You know what I mean? So there was. There could be the best idea sitting in front of you and you just be like, nah, you have to, like, completely.

[David Dobrik]

That sounds more like an ego thing. Like, if I didn't come up with the idea, I didn't want to do it.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, that's not true. Because you took ideas from emotional attacks from Natalie, you took ideas from Malia, you took ideas from any of us. We take lots of ideas.

[David Dobrik]

I feel like I. Yeah, I feel like you guys understood completely. Like, the best was when, like, Jonah would come in and transform my house.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Or when you'd get, like, into makeup. Oh, yeah. Like, just those days would feel so good where I'd be like, we don't have to work today. It's just, like, feels so. Like, those would come, like, once every two weeks. There'd be a bit that was just so fucking easy. Like driving around with you as an alien and then getting Madison beer in the car.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, and all I literally have to do is point and shoot. Because you were so funny at being in costumes. Like, that was. Those were the fucking best.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, those are fun. Do you remember when you were talking about when streamers come to your parties?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You described it so well.

[David Dobrik]

Wait, what did I say?

[Natalie Mariduena]

You said, it's like a terrorist in your house. You're like, I got to let him in. And you got to like. You just. You're just there, like, yeah, have fun. Okay. Streaming to 30,000 people.

[David Dobrik]

It is so funny. Yeah, that is exactly. And that was one of the worst situations we've ever gotten ourselves into. I lost a lot of money because we let a streamer in here once.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And ended in a fight or one way fight.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And, yeah. It costs, like, hundreds of thousands of dollars. You. Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You got sued.

[David Dobrik]

No, I didn't get sued. Deals were pulled because they were like, okay, this party's dangerous. Like, we can't Have. Have. Now. It's fine now we've gotten our good faith back with, like, the companies that we were doing that. But, like, that incident literally lost, like, half. Half a million dollars worth of things here. And not to mention, it was a up incident. Like, alone.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'm gonna stop subscribing. I'm out.

[David Dobrik]

But. But, yeah, yeah, no, that is. That is exactly what it is. Like, when a live streamer comes up to you, you're like. I mean, it's especially you. Like, you're.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You're so. You're so, like, well known, too. So it's like, oh, there's like, extra shit on the line when someone points a camera in your face.

[David Dobrik]

I'm getting better at. I'm getting better at, like, saying no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

You should say no.

[Jason Nash]

Totally.

[David Dobrik]

Like, I'm always down to do a picture, but then people be like, can we do, like, a fun video? I'll be like, ah, yeah, I'll make that sound. I'm like, I don't know. I just don't like making videos.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, Nat, you know how, like, David, he, like, says something like, really cutting?

[Jason Nash]

Like, to your heart?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Like, really mean.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, not mean. Like, sometimes you're really good at, like, you'll say something really cutting or something really insightful. But it was this one moment, like. Like a month ago, I was complaining to you, and I was like, man, nobody calls me back. Scott doesn't call me back. Joe doesn't call me back. And you're eating your sandwich and you just go, do you think it's your age?

[Jason Nash]

Oh, my God. What?

[David Dobrik]

That's fucking stuck with me for, like, two years. Wait, really? You were just like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

But you weren't. You weren't trying to be mean. You were just, like, stating facts, and you just, like, said it off the cuff. And I was like, oh, do you.

[David Dobrik]

Think it's your age? I mean, I've been thinking. I'm trying to think why I would say that. It doesn't sound like.

[Natalie Mariduena]

To me, it was just like you were just getting to the heart of it. You're just like. Well, you're just. Yeah, that's maybe what it is.

[David Dobrik]

That is kind of funny. I guess maybe I could see why I would say that, but I could also see that I'm definitely meaning it in, like, a goofy way.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe you did.

[David Dobrik]

But yes, regardless, Jay, I have a question. Now grab the mic. I have something I want to bring up, and I don't want anybody in this room to get mad at me.

[Jason Nash]

I know it's about me.

[David Dobrik]

No, it's not about that. Why the fuck would I preface with don't get mad at me? My literal whole existence of my life is for you to get mad at me.

[Jason Nash]

Agitated.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah, yeah. I would not tell you not get mad at me.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'd welcome it, but loves poking the bear.

[David Dobrik]

Jay, I'm about to poke you in the audience here.

[Natalie Mariduena]

What do I do?

[David Dobrik]

No, nothing. I just don't want you to get mad at me.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay? Oh, you're dropping two weeks podcast a week?

[David Dobrik]

Yes.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, you fought? Really?

[David Dobrik]

No, David, no, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's just. Can we just talk about it? Can we just talk?

[Natalie Mariduena]

We were doing so good. We were starting to the Golden Globes, man. We're going to the Golden Globes.

[David Dobrik]

Can we just talk about it?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Can we just talk about it?

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Shepherd is going down.

[David Dobrik]

Can we just talk about it?

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

Two a week just is, like, a little bit, a lot.

[Jason Nash]

No, it's definitely twice as much as what we were doing before.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, it's not a lot. It's so easy.

[David Dobrik]

Are you sure? Sure. Okay. Just wanted to.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I literally came.

[David Dobrik]

Just wanted to. Hello? Just a little bit.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm gonna lose my house. I gotta move.

[David Dobrik]

Do not pull this.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I gotta go. I gotta go.

[Jason Nash]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie Mariduena]

We have to sell. Oh, I gotta fix the foundation.

[David Dobrik]

No, no, no.

[Natalie Mariduena]

It was doing so good. Such momentum.

[David Dobrik]

Jay, put the knife down.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay, okay. Wrestle it out of my hand.

[David Dobrik]

Okay, listen, I'm not saying. I'm not putting.

[Natalie Mariduena]

No, no, Be honest. Go ahead. You can if you want to stop.

[David Dobrik]

Putting my foot down here. I'm just saying.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Why don't you want to do two?

[David Dobrik]

I just, like, there's a lot of travel coming up, and I think when I made the decision to go to. Which was three weeks ago, I just didn't have much to do, and now I'm really worried. Like, I leave. I just told Jason that I leave Monday for a trip, and then he's like, when do you come back? And I'm like, Monday, Monday. And then this entire time, for the last two hours, Jason has thought, I leave for a trip Monday and return that same day. And about an hour ago, he just found out that he actually. That I'm actually leaving for a week. So that kind of stuff is going to be tough because that means we need to record this podcast, which we've already kind of done, and two more podcasts before I leave. Like, it's kind of difficult for Guys who, you know, took three years off because they couldn't talk to each other. So I just want to. I just want to put that out there.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Okay.

[David Dobrik]

Okay. And here's the thing, audience. Don't get mad, because at least we gave you some bonus episodes. And. And what if we just do. What if there's always, like, a secondary one that's maybe a surprise? Like, we have the energy in us, but maybe it's not something that we're necessarily committing to. Jay's like, I don't know if that's.

[Jason Nash]

Like, the right approach.

[David Dobrik]

Right, right. It should be all or nothing.

[Natalie Mariduena]

One is not enough. I don't think. What is like, well, what do we doing? Maybe one's enough. I don't know.

[David Dobrik]

I don't know. Okay.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I'm loving, too.

[David Dobrik]

Can we just revisit the question again, please? Let us know.

[Jason Nash]

Wait, who's letting us know? The audience.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah, and stop. Stop emailing David and telling him that the podcast has messed up. It really fucks my day up.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah.

[Natalie Mariduena]

I got a text today. It says some kid was like, fix your shit, dog. Podcast is cut off.

[David Dobrik]

Yeah. He goes, the end is cut off. And Chaser comes in today, and he goes, jeremy. I'm like, who's that? He goes, that's that. That DM'd you saying the podcast was.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Off at the end.

[David Dobrik]

It's not off. I change, Jack. Yeah, you guys, sorry, that. That's also my fault for forwarding it to Jason, but Jason goes into a panic when I send him something wrong with the podcast.

[Natalie Mariduena]

Yeah.

[David Dobrik]

And then luckily, it was fixed. All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Thank you guys for listening. Thank you, Natalie, for joining us. Thank you, Tay Hudson, for joining us. That was Taylor and Meow and Jason, go listen to this other podcast called All Good Things. Bye. Bye.
